FOREVERRAINBOW | REVIEWER: SCARLETKNIGHT | ANGST
 
TITLE (5/5)
 
IS THE TITLE RELEVANT TO THE STORY? Very much so, yes.
IS IT INTRIGUING, COMPELLING ONE TO CLICK ON IT? If the reader is intrigued by the mention of flowers—not to mention the wonderful wording—it's very compelling to click on.
IS THE CAPITALIZATION/GRAMMAR CORRECT? Yes.
IS IT ORIGINAL? Yes.
 
APPEARANCE (5/5)
 
DOES IT HAVE A POSTER/ BACKGROUND? IF SO, DOES IT RELATE TO THE STORY? Yes. The poster and background do relate.
IS THE LAYOUT READABLE? Yes.
IS THE FONT READABLE? Yes. It's quite clear.
ARE THE PARAGRAPHS/DIALOGUES DIVERSE AND PROPERLY SPACED? Yes, including the extra spaces to separate fantasy from reality.
 
DESCRIPTION/FOREWORD (15/15)
 
IS THE DESCRIPTION CLEAR/INTERESTING? Yes.
DOES IT GIVE US A MERE TASTE, NOT A MOUTHFUL, OF WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO READ? Yes. By the description, we can see that the main female is cut short on life, whilst the main male lives healthy - No extra details.
 
PLOT/CHARACTERIZATION (15/30)
 
IS THE PLOT BELIEVABLE? Yes.
IS IT ORIGINAL? Both yes and no - Character death mixed with love is pretty common.
ARE THE CHARACTERS WELL-DEVELOPED? Yes - They have a good representation of their separate personalities and each have their own way of knowing one another, yet still have flaws.
ARE THEY CLICHÉ? The romance is a bit cliché, but overall it was well written.
 
 
GRAMMAR/ SPELLING (25/30)
 
IS THE TENSE(S) CONSISTENT? No.
ARE WORDS PROPERLY USED IN REGARDS TO TONE AND MOOD? Yes; the word choice shows elegancy when needed, whilst showing plain-ness and/or common human emotion, though lacking some.
DO THE CHOICE OF WORDS FIT IN THE TIME SETTING/ ERA? Yes.
ARE THERE ANY MISPELLED WORDS (TYPOS)? No.
ARE PROPER PUNCTUATIONS USED? Yes.
 
FLOW (10/10)
 
IS THE STORY CONSISTENT WITH ITS PLOT? Yes.
ARE CHARACTERS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR GIVEN/DEVELOPING PERSONALITIES? No.
IS IT TOO FAST/ TOO SLOW/ JUST RIGHT GIVEN ITS PARAMETERS? Just right - as it is just a drabble, I wouldn't expect it to have a slow or fast pace, moreover in between.
IS IT BELIEVABLE? Yes.
 
OVERALL ENJOYMENT(4/5)
 
DEAR AUTHOR, THIS MAY BE BIASED.
 
HOW MUCH DID WE LIKE YOUR STORY? I'd say 8/10.
WILL WE READ IT AGAIN? If ever in the mood for angsty romance, definitely.
WHAT WERE OUR FAVORITE SCENES? When Niel confessed, saying his liking was more along the lines of love.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO IMPROVE YOUR STORY? Add more character emotion with their tones and choice of words.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. For a drabble, this was one of the best works I've seen.
