Have a look at my deep dive review series which drills into artist's work that I already have a few reviews of, and which talks in more detail about all aspects of the writing process, as well as interviews the author.

Testimonials (for the deep-dive)

Have a story for me? Great!

I will skim-read short fics initially and give a smol review on that. I might then return for a much more in-depth read and review later. I will read/review long fics if I trust the author, normally after reading shorter fics by them, or by reading a chapter of a longer story which can stand on its own four hooves.

Why skim read?

Skim reading is fast-reading. I won't pause to work out what's going on (much) and I won't re-read complex sentences. This lets me a) read/review extremely fast and b) give you a review based on the basic 'feel' for the story that is coming across, which most readers will have - rather than get my idiosyncratic take. It also lets you take my review in a fairly light-hearted spirit, hopefully.

None of these are absolute, though, so if you are thinking of recommending a fic or asking for a review in one of the ✘ categories, please still do, but with an explanation of how the genre could still work for me.
