Description
Welcome
Blanque is a service looking to provide story reviews/critiques from the perspective of a picky reader. Criticism, praise, personal thoughts and opinions; whatever I feel like including.
If you can’t handle having different opinions with someone else and/or aren’t willing to have a discussion about it, this isn’t the place for you.

Just to let me know you've picked up. Don’t hesitate in starting up a discussion, either. If you disagree with anything in my review, I’d be happy to exchange thoughts and opinions over it. It might change my views, it might not. But we can discuss.

Disclaimers
The scores (if requested) are simply an indicator of what I as one individual reader thinks. Just interpret it however you wish to. The numbers are only a part of it; I think the more important part is the review itself.
I am not claiming to be a “qualified” reviewer of any sort. All I have is an understanding of what the bare minimum is, in terms of quality.
The thoroughness of the review will depend on your story and my energy/time. Expect 2000 words, minimum.
