What would like me to focus on about this piece? Is there anything you want me to ignore? I would mainly like you to focus on the grammar mistakes and such, as well as if the story itself is interesting or not. You could also take a look at the entire thread to get a glimpse of what's going on in the story, if you'd like. There's really nothing I'd want you to ignore, I'm young (for most people on the site) and I would like to improve my writing skills for when I get older.

Message me whenever you are ready for me to send the story and then I'll send payment. :)

Sounds good, send it over. I'll look at just the chapter, but if you want me to critique the entire story it will cost more. I'd recommend a "basic" if you want me to do that.

Since everyone's got their own style and tastes, I'd just like to gather people's opinions overall to see where I can improve my story. Perhaps even some ways to tweak my writing style in general to see if I can fit it to a larger audience. Grammar, maybe, and my wording- I think those are my biggest problems. Dialogue, as well.

EDIT: Oops. xD; Sorry, forgot to space out the first three paragraphs.

Actually 8 pieces :sweat: Not sure if this fits your rules, since they were originally written for a class, but the class is now over. (And I don't get graded on the pieces--the class was more of a workshop than a class.) I'm mainly interested in knowing whether or not these pieces are complete and are enough by themselves, since they're short, and are intended to be short. For I'd like to note that 7 and 8 were never workshopped, and 5 and 6 only minimally. (I also am not overly fond of 6, though I don't want to give up on the concept.) 1 and 2 are third drafts (and I'm actually not sure I like the rewriting of 2--it changed the most during edits mainly because my professor thought the original story ended too neatly and the people in my class found it too abstract).

Whew, sorry about the length of that request :sweat: I hope you'll be willing to take it.

Sure thing guys, I'll take a look at them both. Things may take a while, though-I have to bang out another grant in a week, and then I'll be editing in between freaking out about my second doctoral exam.

Since it will take me a while to print out my Keep story to make corrections before sending them to you, I will submit a fan-fiction of the Pokemon game series for you to review. It's 2194 words long for the prologue, and with a intermediate review at 1.5 gold per a word, it will cost me 3291 gold. I'm not counting the spacers placed to indicate passing of time/perspective. Is that alright? If not I'll add the six extra gold piece. Just send me a PM if you accept the commission. :angel:

Sounds good, ML. I'll put it in the queue. Like I said in the rules, please keep in mind it may take a while for me to get to it, but I will edit it as soon as I can. Just PM it over and send the gold in a trade.
