About me: Hi, there's not much to say about myself. I'm pretty friendly although a teeny bit strict when reviewing stories if English is your first language. After all, reviews are made for you to improve aren't they? Basically, just be friendly and I'll be friendly too.^^

Rubric:

Title (10pts): Is there a title? Does the title make sense with the plot? Would the title be qualified to be a good title? Is it too common? Does it grab attention? 

Graphics/Trailer (5pts): Do the colors, pitcures, quotes, etc, match the feeling of the story? Quality? Is there too much writing? Is the poster/background confusing to look at? Can it be related to the story?

Description & Foreword (15pts): Are they well written? Do they set the genre of the story? Is it on topic? Do they make the reader want to know more? If it is lengthy, is it formatted to look space-y and not compacted together?

Characters (10pts): Do the characters stay in character? Do they match theur given personalities?

Plot: Is it interesting? (Yes/No): Is the plot original? Is it interesting?

Mechanics [Grammar/Punctuation/Spelling/Syntax, etc] (20pts): Are there any errors? Do the sentences make sense? How was your vocabulary usage? Did you use correct punctuation?

Flow (10pts): Were your sentences jumpy? When you read the story aloud does it make sense? Did one event flow smoothly into another or was it choppy? Were you missing words in sentences?

Visual things (10pts): Is the print too small? Were there too many pictures? Were the colors distracting? Was the poster/background distracting?

Ending (15pts): (The ending is extremely important! You can rock the story, but bomb the end.) Does the ending make sense? Was the story wrapped up well? If a cliff-hanger was used, was it successful?  *Only graded if story is finished*

Bonus (5pts possible): Was there something off-the-charts impressive?

A Bit About Me ^ ^ - I'm a bit like BeHappy with grammar and spelling (we're kinda OCD about mistakes in those categories). Other than that, I will review stories honestly and hope the requester can benefit from my feedback.

Rubric: 

Title (10 points)- Does the title make sense for the story? Does the title give too much of the story away?

Mechanics (15 points)- Is everything spelled correctly and is the story/ chapter grammatically correct? Have appropriate words been chosen?

Sentence Structure (15 points)- Is the story/ chapter full of well formulated, detailed sentences? Do the sentences make sense together? Do the sentences differ?

Font (Size, Color, Style) (15 points)- Is the font eye-friendly? Is the font a reasonable size? Is the font color a color that doesn't cause strain to a reader's eyes?

Characters (15 points)- Are the characters appropriate for this story? Do their actions and dialogue match their descriptions/personalities?

Plot (25 points)- Is it original? Is it interesting? Does it make me want to continue reading?

Graphics (5 points)- Do the graphics match the overall theme/ feel of the story?
