REVIEW SERIES: Random Recommendations <50 words

Have a look at my deep dive review series which drills into artist's work that I already have a few reviews of, and which talks in more detail about all aspects of the writing process, as well as interviews the author.
#1 Loganberry 'the Wordsmith'

Check out my light-hearted, short review/recommendation series! Positives only (negatives shared by PM). If you want a review, just ask! My reviewer details, including tag preferences and my approach to reviewing, are below.

#1 Winston; #2 Ulcuran; #3 Loganberry; #4 Loganberry; #5 Loganberry; #6 AltruistArtist

Review requests

Have a story for me? Great!

I will skim-read short fics initially and give a smol review on that. I might then return for a much more in-depth read and review later. I will read/review long fics if I trust the author, normally after reading shorter fics by them, or by reading a chapter of a longer story which can stand on its own four hooves.

Why skim read?

Skim reading is fast-reading. I won't pause to work out what's going on (much) and I won't re-read complex sentences. This lets me a) read/review extremely fast and b) give you a review based on the basic 'feel' for the story that is coming across, which most readers will have - rather than get my idiosyncratic take. It also lets you take my review in a fairly light-hearted spirit, hopefully.

Genres:

Adventure
Alternate Universe *
Anthology
Anthro
Comedy

Dark

Human
Mystery
Porn
Random
Romance
Sad
Science Fiction

*Depends on the AU/cross-over series. I have a list here.

Themes/Chars/Series I love/hate:

Other pony gens (all of them, even G2 and Ponylife)
Pinkie
Families
Introversion/angst
Irony
Angels / Devils
Good / Evil

None of these are absolute, though, so if you are thinking of recommending a fic or asking for a review in one of the categories, please still do, but with an explanation of how the genre could still work for me.

The basis of all my current writing: the story palette · 2:36pm Last Wednesday

I arrange my writing into both an overall palette as well as a palette for each scene. I call it a palette because I draw on each part of it when writing up my plan for each scene, a bit like a paint palette (and I use it to inform my plans for the writing)

hey there :) skim reads are fast reads. I don't pause to work out what's going on (much) and I don't re-read complex sentences.

What's a skim-read, as opposed to normal reading?
