Fanfiction Review vs. Serious Review

Clockwork Reviews and Tutorials [BUSY]

 

Fanfiction Review vs. Serious Review

 

Fanfiction Reviews

Meant for beginners and helping him/her improve in an overall sense. That means that the style and writing will be treated with more leniency. I will isolate certain portions of the review by putting more emphasis on those parts.

 

Serious Reviews

Meant for experienced writers. I will focus on the finer details of the story, rather than its overall effect on the readers.

Don't request a serious review if you're not confident in all aspects of your writing.

NOTE: If your writing has too many overall problems, then I will review your story based on a Fanfiction scale. This isn't meant to demean anyone. It's just a matter of what the review ought to focus on and getting you to your next level of writing. 

 

A well-written story on a serious scale will have difficulty breaking 80%.

A well-written story on a fanfiction scale has difficulty breaking 75%.

Both scales are difficult.

Chapter 44: I'd just like to say a massive thank you for such an in-depth review! You're totally right about using this story specifically as an outlet for experimentation for my serious work. It's more been a test to see how self-indulgent my prose can become without being tethered to proper storylines or fleshed-out characters (hence the threadbare plot). As if turns out: pretty indulgent in places, and I'm glad you've pointed that out, since re-reading the first four chapters especially, it comes across in places as a little too descriptive for description's sake. And to answer another few quick questions - the events surrounding the apocalyptic event are deliberately vague, as I prefer readers to make their own assumptions rather than spell it out (is it nuclear war? A supervolcano? etc.), Irene and the others saw the state of Seulgi etc. and drew them in out of compassion (so to say, they knew they were "armed", but not armed and dangerous, haha), Seulgi actually has a foot infection, which is fleshed out in Chapters 10 and (especially) 11 and 12, which are WIP, although it could definitely be more pronounced in the early chapters, and the glass/plastic bags is a silly plothole I'm already editing haha.

I'd just like to say once again, thank you for such a fantastic review! It means a lot!

Story Title: Unfaithful

Story Link: https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1207264/unfaithful-angst-cheating-drama-mpreg-hunhan-baekyeol-chanlu

Area of Help: Do you think my story has a lot of loopholes and is it too hard to get a grip of the whole plot line? Was i conveying the right emotions for every scenes? Is the story moving so slow? I really want to know your in depth thoughts about my characters and their relationship with one another. Most of all, please do not hesitate to point out the flaws of the story. It’s okay to be brutally honest and I don’t mind. I just badly want to improve. Thank you!

Review Type: Serious Review


Specifications: Please please do point out every flaws and error that you will see and your brutal thoughts and feelings for their characterizations.


Thank you so sooo much if you are going to accept this <3 Have a nice day!

Story Title: The Longest Night

Story Link: https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1326292/the-longest-night-dark-horror-seulgi-yeri-joy-postapocalyptic-wendy-slowbuild-irene-redvelvet-seulrene

Area of Help: No help really needed, just looking for feedback and reviews, although the first two chapters are extremely rough and will need revising at some point.

Review Type: Serious

Specifications: I have a very specific prose style (I grew up with McCarthy and Faulknerisms to an insane degree) and would prefer feedback on the prose if nothing else, since the neologisms and compounds are very much a part of my style of writing and I wonder how they come across to people outside my lit circle. Any sort of overall review is more than welcome. Thank you :)

Story Title: Hot Streak

Story Link: http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1061397/hot-streak-texting-jimin-bts-bangtanboys-jungkook-jikook-snapchat

Area of Help: This is a completed story; however, I'm curious to get feedback about ways in which I can improve it in any way.

Review Type: Serious

Specifications: I know this story is not perfect at ALL, and I'm wondering what I can do to make it that much better. I never re-read the I write so I often find myself seeing typos and grammar mistakes here and there. Please let me know how the story reads to you, and how it can be better - also, if you find any mechanical errors, please let me know what I should change. :)

Why do you want this review? I have never had a story of mine reviewed thus far, and I've written quite a few. Not only am I curious as to what they will look like stacked against a rubric, but also I'm always looking to improve as a writer, and any feedback (good or bad) is appreciated. :)
