1. Patience is key. I am a procrastinator by nature, but with extra responsibility loaded on me, I tend to put more effort in being on-time with both my own stories and reviews. Nevertheless, PMing me every other hour and begging me to work faster will achieve the exact opposite effect. 

2. Completeness is awesomeness. Please fill out all aspects of the application- it will be rejected if it is not complete.

3. Play nice. Don't bash me for being honest. Now, if you politely question the review I give, that I have no problem with. 

4. Not so much a rule but a statement: All kinds of fics are welcome. I have no problem reading het, , yuri or . 

5. A small credit/mention on your story would be quite nice. 

6. Please tell me if English is/isn't your first language. This is important in how I grade your story.

7. Subscribe, subscribe, subscribe! You must subscribe in order to find out when I post your review. Your application will be rejected if you don't!

8. Comments welcomed! In fact, they are somewhat required- at least to tell me that you received/read your review. 

9. If you don't abide by these rules, I'm afraid I'll have to create a blacklist, and I'd really rather not do that. So let's act like civilized human beings and make things run more smoothly, shall we? 

10. I do not judge graphics/appearances for the following reasons: 1) I am terrible with graphics. Although I do digital art occasionally, that's mostly for fun and that's not to say I've figured out Photoshop at all. Any judgment I make on how "awesome" a poster is going to be extremely flawed. 2) They really don't matter in terms of how great your story is. Yeah, you could have the prettiest poster of them all, but if I read two lines of your story and it's complete , your poster's not really going to entice me to want to continue. 3) Over half of those posters out there aren't even made by the authors themselves. If I graded graphics/appearances, I would really be giving a grade to the graphic artist who made the poster in the first place. That's not what this shop is for. 4) Not everyone can be great at everything. Someone could be an amazing writer but just have terrible taste in aesthetics- why should I mark them down for something that's insignificant to their writing in the first place? 

11. Me saying the above, however, does not excuse you from going completely bonkers with the colors, highlights and pictures in your story. Professionalism in writing is still going to be a key part of how I grade you and bright text colors that hurt my eyes & gifs/pictures that substitute in for actual, detailed prose will negatively affect your score in the style of writing and overall enjoyment sections. 

12. For the record, my biases are only here to kind of decorate the place. You do not get bonus points for having them in your story (although if it's an awesome story, I may just end up subscribing to it ;D)
