I’ll post all the reviews requests I get here. All other posts will be deleted. I’ll edit the posts as assignments are given and completed. Additionally, if you so desire, you may volunteer to take a story. Simply PM me or Burraku (as he is our resident story assigner) and we’ll take care of putting that in the post..

Speaking of assignments, if you’re in the group, you’re eligible for assignments (unless you’ve said otherwise). Please PM Burraku_Pansa with your preferences based on this list:

Once you have finished your review, please add it to the appropriate folder. It'll be the one titled "Requested Reviews." That should make things fairly simple. Again, this is for the purposes of Member Management. We want to be able to keep track of how you guys are doing. It also is a nice way of notifying us that the story has been reviewed and the assignment (or volunteering) is complete.

Other information you wish to share: I submitted this to the Author Support Group once before. It got two out of five passing grades. Two of the fails just had problems with a repetitive error, but otherwise said they really liked it. The other did't seem to like it at all. *shrugs* by the time I finished fixing it and added the new chapter, the 'submit for review' folder was closed and hasn't opened since. I still haven't found out why it's closed. Anyways, I wanna see how well I did on the fixes.

Title: Junior Flight Camp: the Crusader and the Bullhead
Genre tags: Comedy, Slice of Life
Other information: This was my attempt at making an interesting 'Scootaloo learns to fly' story by adding in an OC who's a good foil to her. Doldrum Whimper is basically supposed to be Fluttershy on steroids, but that admittedly doesn't really show until later. He's got a little more of a snap than Fluttershy does, you could say.

The story covers a lot of different themes (bullying, equality in friendship, etc.) and most of them are only broached because of the presence of the OC. That said, he's not supposed to hog the spotlight. There's some backstory for Rainbow Dash and pegasus ponies in general, and the mentor/student relationship between Scoots and RD gets shown in the context where Rainbow isn't just teaching Scootaloo, which is a little different from the norm. There's also a little bit on the consequences of teaching Scootaloo to fly, which feels a little underexplored in other such stories.

It hasn't gotten any real negative reviews yet, but when I try to explain the story people keep pointing out things that should be wrong, and I don't know if they are. Whimper and Scootaloo take turns in 'beating each other' in some respect, and at first he comes across as a Gary Stu because he gets more attention. Thing is, that also happens in real life to a bully victim: one the responses adults have is that they molly cuddle the victim, which only makes them appear more annoying and more of a target. So the attention is warranted. It also makes his eventual fail more dramatic. The world doesn't adapt to him, as far as I can tell, which is the defining mark of a Gary Stu.

At the end -- mild spoiler -- the two are pretty much equal because they both learned something from each other, which was the whole point of the story. Some things are left unexplained for the sequel, though, still working on that.

So what I'd like to know is: does this story do what it sets out to do? Is it an interesting 'Scootaloo learns to fly' story, and does the OC serve the story or is it the other way around and are people just really forgiving of it?

Other information you wish to share:
My first story, The Discord Continuum, was a great success, but this current story seems to be struggling a great deal more to find readers. (Partially because the first story had all the star trek fans coming out of the woodwork!)

I made this story significantly deeper and put a lot more effort into it. One reader gave a stellar review in the comments for it, but the favs/likes have been stagnant for a few weeks. I realize there are 60000+ stories here, so getting noticed is not a trivial feat, however if there are some general guidelines or obvious things that need tweaking, let me know. (possibly even the chapter release day/time!) Thanks.

Specific Request (if any): None; any reviewer is fine for me.
Other information you wish to share: Well, let's see...
*The story's pretty long, which is probably the main reason I've been getting so few reviews.
*I personally feel that it's good; in fact, only ONE comment out of almost four hundred said anything downright negative.
*For those familiar with Fallout Equestria, mine takes place in the Zebra Nation. A heavily Romified one.

Title: De Luce et Tenebris Umbra
Genre Tags: Tragedy,Dark, Adventure, Alternate Universe, Human
Specific Request (if any): Someone who does not have an inherent dislike of an Anthromorphic/Humanized work of fiction. Also doesn't mind if the fic is slow at first.(Introduction of characters, flashbacks, and several few, but major, altercations.)
Other information you wish to share: My fiction is a work in progress, and I do not have much experience writing fiction that is to be read by other viewers. There are several possible cliches and plot errors that I have marked and will fix once a certain part of the story has been reached and the plot point has become fixed into the canon. I believe that I am one of the first to venture into the realm of pre-existence origins which will be elaborated later on into the fiction. I do not know if others have already gone into this zone as I have not been able to find any that have included such an origin.
This story is the result of three years of background history development for an actual novel and a recent, surprising, but altogether enjoyable discovery of a love for all things cute. The novel itself reached a point of stagnation 2 months before the time in which I dared to watch an episode of MLP FIM to relieve boredom, (along with a curiosity born of watching a few video's from Dustykat and Saberspark)
If you happen to discover another such story that has a pre-existence origin (if it's not to much trouble) I would like to be informed of it. Though considering not much of the true background has been published yet, I cannot yet claim rights to such an origin should it have not been used yet. Should someone else already have had such an idea I would like to be able to read their story and possibly give them credit for starting the origin, yet unknown to me. Should someone else be inspired by the future lore that I will post, I would like at least a message or acknowledgment of credit or sorts.

Title: The Upside to Your Backside
Genre tags: Comedy, Random, Slice of Life
Specific requests: The author's notes state what the story was supposed to elicit. Does it accomplish this for a more critical mind? And is this *gasp* EqD quality or not?
Additional information: This story won the second Author Support Writing Prompt, and made it to the Padded Cell on the old TWE group. It is the only story I have that gives me some genuine bragging rights, and the only one whose upvotes reach triple digits. Comments from both the AS judges and the review of my Flight Camp fic led to some grammatical editing. Both in terms of critique and popularity, it's the best thing I've written so far. I'd like to know just how good my best is.

Additional Information: The fic isn't done yet and has been put on hiatus for lack of motivation. Being so, it isn't actually far enough in the story for it to get sad. I know that the story is pretty bad but I don't really know what to do to fix it. That is why I have come to you and your group for help. I am hopeful that the information that you guys will provide me will help get me back to writing for the story.

Title: FEAR
Genre Tags: Tragedy, Dark, Adventure
Other information you wish to share: Oh, how I need this to be reviewed badly. This, for me, was a project--a not so good one, at that. The darker, more tragic genre was beyond new to me, but at the time I loved the idea, so I went into it. In fact, the only reason I published it was because I had over 20,000 words to it, and the last thing I wanted was to dump all that hard work. But I know it's bad; I can't explain it, I can just FEEL it. I have asked for reviews at one point, not at all caring as to all the hate it would receive, but hardly a response. I want to know what's wrong with it, because I know there's something. I think a review station like this could at least help me. I'm in the midst of writing another, much better story to balance this out, but anyway, this severely needs a review.

Title: The Elements of Love

Other Info: This one’s much older than the first (I think older than when the TWE was founded, actually!) It’s got 51 comments, yet none of them were real reviews, unless you count “Update soon!” as a real review. It’s well into the story, about 14 chapters long. You don’t need to review the entire thing, but if you do, it would be VERY appreciated.

Title: The Fluttershy of Tomorrow
Genre Tags: Dark, Crossover, Adventure, Human
Other information you wish to share: The short version is that this story seems to have sunk down into the depths of non-viewership, and I don't know why. I've gotten three favorable comments and no unfavorable comments so far, but otherwise haven't gotten any feedback. The view graph seems to be implying that there are more people who are reading this than have favorited or commented, but if so they haven't commented or otherwise made themselves known. (I hope those views aren't Google bots.) If there's something wrong with the writing, I'd like to know now instead of later.

The crossover is with a tabletop game called Genius: the Transgression. You shouldn't need to know anything about Genius to understand the story; any needed information will be figured out by Fluttershy or otherwise eventually explained.

Other information you wish to share: This is the first, and only, story I have written. As I write more and more of it, I look back to the earlier chapters and make minor improvements, but I believe a full fledged review would greatly assist the story as a whole. It is a bit lengthy as of now, and is also incomplete. As much as I love my commentors, one thing I would greatly appreciate is an honest review. Thus I turned to this group. I hope that both my story and writing will improve as a result, should someone choose to review it.

Other information you wish to share: There'd be no need to go over the first five or so chapters with a fine-toothed comb or anything. I actually submitted those two reviewers on Ponychan's /fic/ board when I was just starting out, so they're basically covered (and material I put to paper over a year ago isn't as relevant to my current writing anyway). Of course, I would still make a note of everything said about those sections as well.

Other information you wish to share: I'm coming to you guys because I'm convinced I've done something wrong. Less than half of the people who view the first chapter go on to view the second. Going by this I've been forced to conclude that my first chapter is somehow a let-down compared to the description. That said I'm not asking for a review on only the first chapter since the other ones are important as well, but what I want to know most of all is why I can't seem to retain readers.
