About review requests · 8:21pm Jul 12th, 2018

To my surprise, I've had a few of these recently, so I suppose I ought to write a little bit about what you can expect if you ask me to review your fic. Please read all of this post before commenting or asking questions, though. It's not stupidly long!

I am open to review requests, but you need to know what you're getting into, and that's what this post is for. I'll do it in bullet points to keep things simple and convenient:

To request a review, please use the PM facility here on Fimfiction. It's by far the most convenient option.
I will only review stories that are publicly available on this site. (Very, very occasional exceptions to that last bit, but not for requests.)
Generally speaking, I don't review minifics or anthologies. (Same proviso as above.)
I will not review stories that are not marked Complete. (And again.)
Reviews will be published off-site, on my Louder Yay blog. Look at this tag to get an idea of my reviewing style. All reviews are public, and authors will not get advance sight of them.
My Read it Later list is several hundred stories strong. Unless your fic really grabs my attention (which can happen), you'll be in for a considerable wait.
I have limited time. If your fic is 250,000 words long, it's going to have to be incredibly appealing to me before I even begin. If it's 2,500 words, it's much easier for me to find time for.
I prefer canon-universe fics, but [AU] stories are considered. However, they need to be readable without prior knowledge of their universe.
I read very few M-rated fics, but they are eligible. However, they do need to have an actual story in there somewhere.
No foalcon, ever.
My favourite ponies are Fluttershy and Scootaloo. Use this information as you see fit.
