Review Requests

Rules for Requesting Reviews

Want to request a review? There's no 'correct' way to do it. PM me, comment on my blogs, comment on my user page, it's all good. As soon as I've acknowledged the request I'll go into my Review Schedule and add yours to the queue. Just remember: requests are always first come/first serve. There are a few rules:

Long Stories

NOTE: A story is considered "long" if it is 70,000 words or more.

Updated July 27: All future long story requests will go to the 2024 schedule. There are currently 8 slots available for that year.

TEMPORARY RULE

Because some people just had to request stupidly long stories for 2024, I am temporarily adding a restriction: no stories longer than 100,000 words. This is to prevent my schedule from getting clogged up and forcing me to read 40,000/day for months at a time next year. Once I'm confident that risk is dealt with, I'll remove this rule.

No Clop

Have I read clop? Yes. Do I review clop? Not often. My reviews are for stories, not blatant fap material. That said, every once in a while one slips through the cracks. If you can convince me that there's actually a story under all the mess, then I will consider it.

Incompletes

As a general rule, I avoid reading incomplete stories. I tend to make an exception to requests, but I reserve the right to decline incompletes.

Review Schedule and Other Spreadsheets

My Long Story schedule is completely booked for 2022. This means that if you want to request a story longer than 70,000 words, you will be waiting until sometime in 2023 for that review. I cannot guarantee it'll be "early" 2023, either. Just something to keep in mind.

The Review Schedule

This schedule lists the stories that are set to be reviewed every week. The next six weeks are always included. I may have more than six scheduled, but only the nearest six will actually be visible at any time.

The Reading Schedule

The day-to-day reading schedule, which dictates what I will read and when. Mostly meant for my own use in limiting how much I read every day, but kept available to the public for the sake of transparency.

Archive Spreadsheet

The archive. Contains a list of every story I've ever reviewed with links to both the story and the review.

A Brief Look Into The Insanely Detailed World That Is Paul's Mind

Read this if you want to see what I go through every Saturday to deliver to you folks a weekly review blog. Be warned, this thing is overbearingly detailed.

Concepts & Creations Index

A while back I started posting blogs detailing stories that I conceived but don't expect to ever write. The link below is to an index of all these blogs.

For a short-form character piece that draws from the show, the comics, the chapter books, and the mobile game, I will gladly take 'Pretty Good' for Chartreuse.

Yeah that's what I meant, the best one I got from you, not the best one you have to offer.

Do my eyes deceive me? "Best Grade"? Why, you are off by one, boy!

But it is the best grade you've gotten from me so far. I suppose you'll see why when the review drops.

bruhhh there's no shot my story to get the best grade from you was something I wrote in like 2-3 hours when I was 18 that I almost didn't even publish😭

Thank you so much for the review! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I'm so glad you liked the story
