Midnight Sonata Review Cafe FAQ

GENERAL QUESTIONS:

Q: What kind of stories do you accept?
A: We accept stories of all genres featuring any idols/OCs. That includes , , yuri, rated M, etc.

Q: Do you accept one-shots?
A: Yes.

Q: Is there a limit as to how many chapters you will review?
A: Yes. We will review up to 15 chapters in one request.  Since the shop is closing soon, we will review as many chapters your story has.

Q: Can I request for a review for multiple stories?
A: Yes

Q: Do you go in the order that is stated on the pending/in progress list?
A: I try to go in order. But please, think about it. If you have 15 or more chapters while the person after you has a one-shot, I am going to review the one-shot first. That doesn't mean that ALL the one-shots will be completed before I get to your story. I try to be as reasonable with this as possible. 

Q: How long should I expect to wait for my review?
A: That depends. If our status is busy, obviously I (unless I get more staff members) am busy. Thus, you will need to wait a while for your review. If our status is open, I will try to get them done ASAP. In general, give me at least a month after your story is in progress, NOT PENDING. 

REGARDING TEXT SELECTION:

Q: Do I, as an author, have to allow text-selection?
A: That's up to you. Depends on how detailed of a review you want. If you want the best possible review from this shop, I recommend allowing text-selection. This way, I could comment on your errors (especially if you have chosen for me to be picky with language), and I may also help you with other parts of the rubric. 

Q: Can you notify me when you are reviewing my story so that I can allow text-selection?
A: I know allowing text-selection is annoying. I find it annoying too when I get my stories reviewed. SO, here is the thing. I won't notify you directly, but if you are subscribed (like you should be), you will be getting updates. If you check the request list, you will see that your story is pending, in progress, or completed. If you see that your story is in progress, please allow text selection until it is completed. If it's still pending, you don't have to allow text-selection until you see that it's in progress. 

Q: What does it mean by picky on language?
A: Some authors tend to get really offended when their errors are pointed out. If you pick this option, we may or may not dissect your story as we could point out a lot of errors. It's just errors that may annoy us as we are reading (comma misplacements, verb tense inconsistencies, etc) that will be pointed out to you. Things that you might be pissed off at if you saw these errors pointed out ot you as you might think "why are you focusing on this?" but we're only pointing them out because it bothers us to read with these errors. This does not mean that we will point out every single error. It's just an approval from you that we may point out these erros to you, not to have us proofread your entire story. YOUR GRADE (if you want it graded) WILL NOT CHANGE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU PUT FOR THIS OPTION. 

Q: I forgot to allow text-selection and my review is already completed..can I get a redo?
A: No. 

 

PRIVATE REVIEWS AND NON-GRADED REVIEWS:

Q: What is a private review and how does it work?
A: Private review is basically the same thing as a regular review, except you and ONLY you (unless you reveal it to someone else, and me since I reviewed it) will have access to your review. It will be posted on a separate site and only you have access to your reivew. To request for this, upvote and let me know in the comments that you are requesting for a private review

Q: How does non-graded reviews work?
A: I will make that up to you...if you want a free-write non-graded review, I will write it in a way I find necessary. However, if you want the structured non-graded review, I will use the rubric and provide you with the criticism and feedback without the numbers. Please note in the comment section which review (free-write or structured) you would like to receive. If you don't state it, I will just assume you want the structured review.
