Review Style
I would characterise my reviews as honest and polite. I try to approach each item as a writer and a reader. I keep writingML to a minimum as it is distracting to me. I am starting to experiment with templates, having never really used one before now -- please bear with me while I try to find one that suits my review style! I always try to be constructive, positive and encouraging in my reviews.
I'm good at...
Reviewing poetry, focusing on emotion, flow and imagery. I have a particular passion for short poetry.
Favorite Genres
Dark, Emotional, Experience, Nature, Personal, Psychology
Least Favorite Genres
Erotica (unless it's tasteful and non-clichéd!), Fanfiction, Religious, Sci-fi, Supernatural, Young Adult
Favorite Item Types
I prefer, and am most confident, reviewing poetry. But I do sometimes review short stories, essays and articles etc.
I will not review...
Erotica (unless it's tasteful and non-clichéd!), Fanfiction, Young Adult fiction, novels or novel chapters (unless I know you very well!), horror items rated above 18+ (though I am happy to review other genres with higher ratings), anything featuring vampires, anything written in "text speak" or any non-static or non-book items (except in special circumstances).

Review of Pressed Flower  
Review by Ghostranch
Rated: E | (4.5)
How beautiful and what a wonderful comparison. It's short and sweet and absolutely filled with emotion. I'm sure everyone has felt this way at some point and I just love how you have described it.

Thank you

Review of The Autumn Woods  
Review by Ghostranch
Rated: E | (4.0)
Again, another absolutely gorgeous piece. The main problem I found in this one was your use of adverbs. I feel that your writing is very strong and that you really don't need them to 'prop it up' if you get what I mean! For instance, in the first line of your second paragraph, the word 'gently' really isn't needed as the word 'tossed' implies that the movement is a gentle one anyway, and again you wrote:

'Beams of light peeped through the leaves of the canopy and tip-toed cautiously through the dusty air.'

It's a beautiful line but in my opinion the word 'cautiously' isn't necessary as the word 'tip-toed' implies a certain cautiousness.

Do you see what I mean? There are several other examples throughout where waste words could be cut or sentences re-written. Apart from that, I think this is excellent and the fourth paragraph in particular is exceptional.

Thank you.

Review of Stone Cold  
Review by Ghostranch
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
This is really fantastic. The only problem I found really is a picky thing! In the third paragraph you use the word 'barely' twice in one sentence after the other. Both sentences seem to be saying the same thing and it just seems to me that this could be a little bit neater. Overall I absolutely loved this. It is really descriptive and full of suspense. I love the ending even though it is really frustrating! I want to know what happens next!

Thank you.
