~ Tricks To Fix It! (Angela Zhang's Review Shop) ~
Description
In need of a review?
Foreword
Do you have a story that you would like to have reviewed?
Are you looking to not only improve your story but also your overall writing skills?
Are you totally clueless (like me) about how to put interesting graphics in your story, want it reviewed but don't want to have your "score" lowered because your fanfic isn't "visually" appealing?
Then you've come to the right place... ^^
I'm no professional writer myself, and I'm pretty sure that I could stand to fix some things in my own stories, but I've had nearly a year's experience writing here on AFF and I've also got some university english under my belt. I've noticed a lot of you apologizing for "poor grammar" in forewords of stories, but I think that a lot of these works have potential and I'd like to humbly offer to help anyone with grammar, spelling etc. in their stories ^^
I've also wanted to have some of my own stories reviewed by "review shops", but never got up the nerve to because a lot of reviewers seem to take into account the presentation of the story.
As far as visuals go, I have absolutely no idea how to do anything more than post some pictures, change font color/size and...that's about it. ^^' I'd like to give anyone like me a fair chance to have their story reviewed (but, if you do have fancy graphics, I'd take that into account, too).
Most of all, I really want to help anyone who needs a hand to improve their english writing skills. There seems to be a lot of AFF authors or tentative authors who don't speak english as their first language and are hesitant to use it. But being from Hong Kong myself and being a student in Canada, I've been in many situations that have made me appreciate the value of knowing more than one language, especially english.
So I'd like to help anyone of you have this opportunity, as well ^^
I will mark based on:

-----------------------------
-----------------------
Title: Is it original? Arresting? (---/5)
Description/Foreward: (---/10)
Layout: (---/5 or, not applicable, if you've not got any graphics ^^ It wouldn't be fair for me to penalize you for graphics, seeing as I hardly have any, myself)
Spelling/Grammar: (---/30) When appropriate, I'd also like to give some suggestions about grammar rules and spelling so that you can apply anything you may (hopefully!) have learned to the "real world", too
Plot: (---/20) Probably based on originality
Tone: (---/10) Is the tone that you use in your story appropriate for the plot, characters etc?
My favorite part...: (---/5) ^^ If something positive stands out in your story, you'd get credit for that, too
Total: (---/85)
I would give you a final grade based on percentage.
I'm not going to demand that you mention me or paste the review in your story ^^, but if you did, that would be greatly appreciated :)
My personal favorite genre is , but I'd be happy to read and review any genre of fiction (except "hardcore" things such as graphic/non-consensual ) ^^ I'll post my reviews in chapters of this "story" and provide the link to your story in the chapter, as well.
I'm not sure how frequently I'll be able to review, because I'm writing some stories myself, but I'll try to review each story as soon as I possibly can!
Just leave a link to your story in a comment below if you'd like me to review it! ^^
