http://jggjqm522.deviantart.com/Welcome, for the umpteenth time, to the eighth circle of Hell.
Haha, just kidding. It’s actually the ninth. With summer comes the heat, and also a surprising amount of free time, and so I’m back again to ruffle jimmies and rustle feathers. For those of you who are new to Ponychan, my name is Umbra. My claim to fame on these boards is equally composed of my spectacularly rude reviews, and my habit of disappearing for months on end. Don’t let that former statement scare you off, though. Without flexing my pompous muscle too much, my reviews are usually well-received and have been found to be fairly effective. I’ve been out of the community for far too long, and I feel it’s time I jump back in.
THREAD OVERVIEW AND GUIDELINES1) Please be kind and respectful to others on the thread. I may seem like an asshole in my reviews, but the truth is that I’m barely a dick, which is at least three categories below asshole. In addition, I fully support Ponychan’s guidelines for proper posting and behavior. Be sure to observe them.
2) This thread is for
content evaluation, not for general proofreading. FimFiction.com has a variety of wonderful proofreading threads that I encourage you to visit if you need editing for grammar and spelling.
3) I cannot stress enough that if I review your story, I am
unlikely to be kind. I use vulgarity liberally, and my feedback is typically very harsh; I review this way,of course, with the intention of providing effective and useful material for your revisions. No one has yet found my style of review to be an issue, but it is something of which you should be aware.
4) Word count is capped at 7,500 per submission. If you have a work that exceeds this length, please submit it in chapters or sections, and each will be treated in the queue as if it is a standalone story.
