ONLY ACCEPTING ONE-SHOTS/LESS THAN 5 CHAPTERS
REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello all, this is pilsuk123! It's nice to meet you! I'm the one who created this review shop quite some time ago. At the beginning of this review shop, the shop name back then was 'Read before you speak Café' and everyone who requested at the very beginning would also know that I ONLY write non-graded reviews because I know how stressful amateur writers can get for the graded reviews so I take that into consideration. However, after a month or so, I realize that some authors wanted a graded review so I've decided to place grading as a choice instead.
More about me, I read a lot. Might not be as much as I read fanfics but I enjoy reading physical books. Some of my recommendation is - Wonder, Spectacular Now and Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock! Feel free to chat me up if you like reading too!
When I was in school, my favorite lesson/part is English and Literature classes because I definitely hated Maths and Biology so that leaves me to enjoy language classes instead. I did a lot of peer-marking,too, when I was in school so why not make good use of that in aff? Some of my favorite band/idol are Exo, SHINee, ZE:A and f(x)!
Acceptable group/Idol: All group/Idol are acceptable!
Specialize: Character death + Angst and all other one-shots or drabbles
Acceptable theme: All type of theme are all accepted, I wouldn't mind at all :)
Harshness level: It depends, I strive for useful feedback and constructive critism more than scores because I think it's more important that way. Markings are just numbers while feedback and critisms are helpful in the long run.

REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello! Call me Aisha or Aishy or whatever floats your boat. I'm 17, from a little island in the middle of the Caribbean. This is my first experience in a review shop/reviewing seriously, but I know most grammar rules from top to bottom so hopefully it will be an okay task! English is not my first language, but I speak & write it perfectly. I've only been a kpop fan for about a year or so, and even less here on aff. SHINee are the dorks that make my heart flutter and EXO comes right after. I also enjoy VIXX, Infinite, Block B and Spica (& more!). People tend to say I'm a very quiet, calm, reserved and nice person which is entirely true. I love reading and enjoy writing in my free time. As for reviews, I try to be as nice as possible and go for a 'you can do it!' attitude. However, that doesn't mean that I'll sugarcoat everything. I go straight to the point and emphasize a lot in grammar (overall) and flow. I think this is alright as it is so feel free to say hi and request sometime!
Acceptable group/Idol: Any group is fine. Better yet if it's SHINee, EXO, VIXX, Block B, Infinite, Teen Top, B.A.P or f(x). I don't read much for girl groups.
Specialize: Drabbles, oneshots, short stories.
Acceptable theme: Fluff, romance, romcom, comedy and mystery are what I usually read. , and yuri are okay. I don't enjoy reading anything with violence, , mpreg and too much angst (it's very rare for me to read a complete angst story, but there are exceptions!).
Harshness Level: 3/5 I try to be as nice as possible while still maintaining the seriousness that the corrections and review as a whole need.

REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello! AutumnsConcierto here (yes my username was based on the drama). I'm currently in high school and a straight-A student, so you can count on my English skills as I am an ABC (American Born Chinese). My Chinese skills are okay as well, I speak conversational Cantonese and Mandarin but I understand 90% of the language when listening. My writing skills are intermediate. I'm a sportsy person so I love to play basketball and tennis. I've been into K-pop/K-dramas ever since my lovely middle school friends introduced the new and exciting world to me. Ever since I was a kid, I've had an affinity for reading good books. And just late last year, I was introduced to fanfiction. I mean, how cool is that? Reading fictional stories about your favorite celebrities and such. If I had to be honest, I initially judged fanfics. I'd say a good majority of fanfics are nothing more than just cliche, incorrect grammar/spelling ridden pieces of writing. But, when you have a good formula in your hands and the story is written perfectly, I swear it could be published as a legit book.
Acceptable group/Idol: What's important to me is the story, not the oppar.
Specialize: I'm fine with anything really. ^^
Acceptable theme: Anything but , yuri, and mpreg. Oh and I avoid gore/horror. I just get really uncomfortable reading those types of things.
Harshness level: I grade accordingly. I wouldn't say I'm harsh, I just speak what I think. A lot.

REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello! This is Riza. I'm 17, from Indonesia and I just finished high school. English is not my first language, but I speak and write in English just as fluent as I do in Indonesian. I fell in love with literature ever since I was a little girl, since my grandparents were into literature as well. I'm also learning English Literature in college, so you can count on me. The only K-pop band I'm really into is EXO, but I enjoy listening to other Korean songs too. I'll try my best in reviewing your stories and I can be harsh when I feel like I need to.
Acceptable group/Idol: Preferably EXO, but others groups are okay with me.
Specialize: Romance, , fluff, , almost everything.
Acceptable theme: I mostly read and write , romance, fluff and , but I enjoy other genre too. Horror is pretty okay, and so is m-preg, but yuri is a big no-no.
Harshness level: I'm not going to break your heart with my words, but it doesn't mean I'll sugarcoat everything and hide the truth from you.

Accepting stories with five or less chapters/ ungraded reviews only]
REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello there, I go by Sou on this site (but if you want to create your own name for me, by all means, go ahead). If you were ever to see me in person, I would most likely either have my nose buried in a book or I'll be scribbling away furiously in a notebook. If you'd like to request me, I would ask you not to request to be graded. Personally, I find no need for such things. It's all opinion-based. When I review a story, I look for its good and bad points and I will tell you the things you should continue doing and the things you should fix.
Acceptable group/Idol: Send me what you have. It honestly does not matter.
Specialize: Oneshots and short stories.
Acceptable theme: I read everything.
Harshness level: I am not harsh nor completely blunt. I will feed you compliments and critisism when I feel it's needed. I'd like to think of it as professional.

[STATUS: busy]
Only accepting fics less than 8 chapters.
REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Annyeong~ My name is Fantascape, but feel free to call me Candice! I've been reading fanfics for years as my guilty pleasure- tucked away in a library corner or even blatantly reading in class- before I finally decided to make an account here! I absolutely adore KPop, as it's my muse and my little 'escape' from the harsh reality of life... There's such a thing as being too grounded, right?
Anyway, I'm a first-time reviewer, so bear with me! I love reading stories, but more than anything, I'm a 'detail '. As in, I live off of details... If your fic casts a wide net of descriptions, you've basically won me over! I love fics that truly take me there... I want to be immersed in them, to truly see what the character sees and feel what they feel. You should know that I'm a native English-speaker, so I'm pretty into good spelling and grammar usage. I also love unique plot-lines! If you've taken the time to truly go above and beyond with your fic, then sign me up! There's nothing wrong with thinking a bit differently and taking risks in a subject! Trust me... I've read some pretty taboo fics, and you get used to it after a while.
But thank you all so much for accepting me! I plan to work really hard. If I say something to you that comes off as condescending, just know that I mean no harm! I make it a point to compliment people for every word I may say to constructively criticize!
Acceptable group/Idol: My preferences are EXO, Big Bang, 2ne1, and TVXQ (so rare...) fics. I can definitely do others, but because I'm not as into other groups, I'll need the story to do well with description and characterization. I may not know those groups/idols, so you'll have to paint the picture for me! ^_^
Specialize: I'm actually pretty good with generally ANY genre- horror, comedy, , angst... YOU NAME IT! But I've been pretty wary of a few romance fics... If you're sure your fic is truly 'romantic' and not just...'cheesy'...then we're good!
Acceptable theme: Again, I'm good with anything! I'm pretty lenient on genres and themes.
Harshness level: On a scale of 'Kkaebsong~' to 'Yehet!', I'm probably an 'Ohorat!'... I can be picky, but I won't scrutinize every single thing... I won't hold back, but I definitely won't be mean... I love you guys after all!

REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello~ I'm ordinary_days01 or Lex, whichever you prefer. I'm kind of new to the whole reviewer world but from how I criticize my own work, I think I can be pretty good at it. There's not really much to say except I love EXO with all my heart which is really how I got into k-pop. (I lied. It was actually SHINee that I first fell in love with xD) But anyway, I'd love to help out anyone that's willing so request me if you want lol
Acceptable group/Idol: I like reading EXO fics but I wouldn't mind trying something new~
Specialize: I really enjoy reading one-shots but I can do chaptered fics also
Acceptable theme: I'm sort of picky with this kind of stuff so I'll just state what I absolutely cannot read: 'you' fics, yuri, OC, gender-bender, , and weird kinks (or just overall kinks period)
Harshness level: I'd say from 1 to 10 (10 being the worse), I'm about a 4. I'll state what I think should be worked on/fixed but in a nice way. If it comes off a certain way, I apologize in advance :)

REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hello~~ You can address me as my username, tone_exotica, or the much short, Toni :) I'm a bit new to the official reviewer world but honestly, I think that I've always been one to give criticisms on other stories. In school, Literature/Journalism is one of my favorite classes because I love to read and write. I started reading fanfiction around the same time I discovered Kpop (about a year or so ago) and it's opened my eyes to something I had no idea even existed. Now, fanfiction and Kpop has become my life and for those out there that think they need a bit of help with their stories, I'd be happy to help~ There's no such thing as being a bad writer (well, not really) but mistakes happen and I'll help you correct those mistakes! I can be somewhat frank/blunt but not in a rude way. I'll tell you exactly what I think should be changed but hopefully I can say (type) it in a way that doesn't come off offensive or anything along those lines.
Acceptable group/idol: Well, EXO is like my all time favorite group and the only group I read and write about but I'll accept anything. I want to try new things! But girlxgirl/genderbender fics I will not read.
Specialize: I read basic genres (romance, fluff, angst, comedy). I think I specialize in angst though. But what the heck, I'll try out others. I review shorter (or longer) things like one shots, two shots, etc... or chaptered fics but none over ten chapters.
Acceptable theme: I'll read almost anything. Except those stated above.
Harshness level: As stated above, I don't think I'll be rude or mean in my reviews but if I happen to, I apologize in advance.

REVIEWER INFORMATION:
Hi friends and folks, my name is jongupper - primarily known as Keeks, though, so feel free to adress me like that. I'm from Europe, and I've been a frequent user on asianfanfics for two and a half years. Most of the time I write, but since sometime 2013 I've been taking on reviewing for the fun of it. When I write it's mostly slice-of-life stories with the same cast (because yes, I am one of those persons), and 98% of the time it turns out more angsty than what my intentions really were. Musically speaking, I'm in love with f(x), B.A.P, Super Junior, SHINee and EXO, among many others I won't list here for the sake of not boring anybody with my preferences. English isn't my first language, but I pride myself in being pretty good at it (*cough* shamelessly egoboosts self *cough*), and other than that I speak Danish and French. Review-wise, I'm not really sure where to put myself; I have very few things in general I dislike about other's work, but when I find a thing that doesn't suit me I tend to go all out in explanations of why. I'm both easy to please and to disappoint, I'm afraid, but I'm in no way biased towards specific characters. My goal with revieweing is to help where I can in the best way I can, and I hope that you'll find it worth the waiting in the long run. Writing is supposed to be fun, and my job isn't to take that spark away - quite the contrary, I try real hard to enlarge it. So let's see how it goes!
Acceptable group/idol:
I'm fine with just about anything, even though I have a few exceptions: I don't really know anything of Infinite, 4Minute, Beast, Top Dogg or Korean actors that aren't Kim Soohyun, Jun Jihyun or Kim Wonbin, and therefore I don't review anything with them.
Specialize:
Angst is my forte, really. Even more so stories about depression, but most of it comes from personal experience.
Acceptable theme:
I'm fine with anything as long as it doesn't get so fluffy it's choking someone - a little friendly fluff is fine, but for me, the line between too little and too much isn't really that big.
Harshness level:
I'd say somewhere around the middle. I'm a grammar-dictator, I might as well come clean: Wrong grammar and/or spelling ruins my reading experience, and I do my best to correct it in an orderly fashion. But, that being said, I'm also a huge fan of giving people credit and praise whenever it's called for. If there is anything you'd like to ask me, just do so - I don't bite! :)
