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.

Testimonials (for the deep-dive)
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.

General FAQ
Can I recommend others' work for review? Yes.

Welcome to my second deep dive recommendation, where I drill into what makes 'Soft and Pink' a great fic and go on to explain why Semillon is an author who is so amazing that you should not just read that fic, but consider going on to read everything by them!
These errors are late-stage errors which I left in my fic after multiple reads. It happens to us all :(
Ocean Mist trots back onto the quiet landing.
She idly looks at a wall-cupboard. Even though she knew it couldn’t be in there, she opens the door anyway. She wrinkles her nose at the musty smell from a stack of used dusters.
Under these is a stepladder which she looks at curiously.
