1. Was the material of the story (Premiss, Setting) consistent to the claimed persona of subject.
This is to detail the premiss of the story, not so much as the feel of the writing. Was the subject of the story touched? Things like that.

2. When reading, was it a smooth read, or was it hard to concentrate?
This is referring to the structure of the writing it self. Do remember that it is more so for the writers benefit to know what he can do to create a work of art that is smooth to read.

3. Upon completion of the story, did you find that the mood, and feel of the story staid consistent?

1. We are not Grammar Nazis here, so the review for grammar is more so a rating from 1 to 5. 1 being week grammar, and being barely approved for moderation, and 5 being flawless. both ones and fives are rare and should hardly ever be used. 3 and 4 should be the most common number with sight standards, but occasionally we will find something that should be managed and improved. As a reviewer, it is your duty to help inform the author about major errors, and be respectful in pointing them out.

1. Every author has his/her own style, his/her own signature. As you read, be aware to how the author writes. Commentate as you notice things you especially enjoyed reading his or her story. Point out things that seem to clash with how the story should go, and point out things that made a particular seen pop out.

2. Sometimes, authors will use dialogue and thought in different manners than a standard story. As you read stories, you will notice variations from first person, and third person points of view. Even, when you are lucky, a second person point of view. As you read and notice this, make notes to how the dialogue is used, and even thoughts as a given character is going about. How was it done? was it effective? how do you think it could be made better? -This is probably one of the more important things to point out, since it is critical to any story.

1. All reviewers are allowed to have their own rating system. However if you want a default, her is how Cromegas_Flare is doing his rating system.

Video Reviews are allowed, however.... There needs to be a written review as well. It does not have to be as detailed, but must have enough to inform a person without watching the video. This is because some people are on devices that can not play videos. So here are some rules about video addition reviews.

1) Must have the links to the story and the author in the review (written) {Exception is with NSFW stories, but the author must still be linked}

2) Must have the rating to the story!

3) Must have your thoughts on the story, enough to grab a readers interest.

4) Redacted, for now
