The description and title are some of the most important parts of a story. They provide readers with their first impression, convince them to read it, and characterize your story even after it is finished.
Today, we look at a set of stories, based solely on their descriptions, titles, and other relevant paratext.

Today’s story relies on not one, but two twists. Since the first twist is incredibly blunt, I have not bothered to spoiler-tag it.
I don’t like catering to holidays, but here’s a review for Halloween anyway. Any time is a good time to review Dark fic.
Title: Just A Simple Story
If [OPEN], I am accepting new requests. If [CLOSED], I am working on other things (check back later )
If you follow me, then you are likely aware of my ongoing review series. In order to mix things up a little, I am now taking requests for stories to review. Like everything in life, there are some caveats:
*Only request reviews for one of your own stories.
I go into every story hoping for something that will be worth commenting on. Unfortunately, not everything warrants prolonged critiquing. This is especially true of fanfiction, where many writers are still learning and improving. Here is a selection of reviews/critiques, in two sentences or less. All of these stories were found via the featured or popular boxes. Unlinked stories are rated M and are extremely NSFW: they may be found via the author links.

Okay, so just a small blog for this, I've only wanted to check in on ya readers, seeing how you were all doing.
How are you enjoying the story so far? Any issues with it that you'd like me to keep in mind? And do any of you got any predictions or ideas?
