Welcome to Cut Up!

Hello, everyone! And welcome to Cut Up! 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

What is your purpose?

As some of you may know, there was once a reviewshop called Cocoa and Marshmallows. I, --placingfifth, was the co-author. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the main author, --milkbubbletea, had deactivated her account and the amount of time she will be gone for is unknown. So therefore, I created this review shop to handle all the rest of the unfinished reviews and to take up news ones as well!

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Why is your name 'Cut Up'?

Actually, it had no real reason at first. I basically just asked my sister for a word that she finds both pretty and uncommon and she gave me the word 'amusing.' I searched up the synonyms and it came up with 'Cut Up.' Afterwards, I realised that it would fit with the shop because to 'cut up' is like to take something apart; same with reviewing.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Status! 

Busy.

The Guidlines :)

  • Subscribe. Please do! Because we won't be looking for you when your review is finished. It takes too much time. You may unsubscribe afterwards if you are unsatisfied with your review or if you do not intend to request another review.
  • There will be no strike system, but we still do expect the best manners from you, as do vice versa. 
  • If you want to cancel a request, please do so within 48 hours of your request.
  • Leave applications or forms in the comment section; nowhere else.
  • Comment once you've picked up your review.
  • Credit us on your forward, if you liked your review. No point crediting us if you didn't like it. Just write 'Review by (insert reviewer) at (insert shop name).' 
  • Please don't rush us. That would be sooooo much better!
  • Check the staff list and our example. Do we match up to your expectations? We are an old shop with new members.
  • Lastly, I beg of you; if you want to keep your review, please save it somewhere. Just copy and paste. Because we delete all the chapters after a month, so you won't be able to find your review again.

Helloo! I was dropping by for a request and you guys didn't mention anything about it having to be completed or anything so I just had to ask. Do you accept requests which are not yet completed? Hehe. =P

omg! A-Peace! didn't even notice that you featured this MV
They have 21 members and personally, i think it's an impractical idea because you can barely fit them in one camera frame (the awkward studio fan in the mv /.- ) and you can't even see their faces T^T

Chapter 14: Thank you for the review!
I really am glad and satisfied with it.
I'm not going to defend myself and say that English isn't my first language and blame all the mistakes on it.
But i'd like to make somethings clear, at the end of story i switched from past to present to past to show that Sungyeol is gone now and they're reminiscing, but somehow i didn't work out well.
The plot, and characterization, i don't have that. I think i got higher scores on them than i expected.
But your advice about the characters was helpful, i'll make sure to use it.
As for the description, i'm sorry if it was confusing and hard to review, it made sense for me because i kind of wrote it the way i write in my first language. Sorry.
What do you mean by 'previous title'? I don't remember having another one :/

Again, thank you for the review! It was really helpful.
I'll make sure to credit you and the shop (later because i'm on phone now >_<)

Hello ^^
I wanted to ask if I can cancel my request for Touch of Fear's review? It seems that you are very busy, so I don't want to bother you with yet another review. Feel free to cancel it :)
