CCC: cleverpun's Critique Corner: Description/Title Reviews #2 · 3:26am Nov 29th, 2015

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.

Format Breakdown


I have reviewed some things that don’t traditionally receive deep criticism. I’ve done full length reviews of porn and a webcomic, for instance. Today, we add a Pony Music Video (PMV) to that list.

CCC: cleverpun's Critique Corner #43 — The Heart Beats Still · 5:40am Apr 8th, 2020

I’m continuing my critiques of the entrants into the Imposing Sovereigns II contest. We continue down my list of “finalists”: stories which I considered awarding points to. I would like to stress, however, that I only ranked them because FanOfMostEverything made me; they are all excellent.

I must also point out, I never read the comic involving Princess Amore.

Title: The Heart Beats Still

CCC: cleverpun's Critique Corner Not-Fanfiction Edition — Magic: The Gathering's Unbowed, Part 1 · 5:38am Aug 30th, 2018

Yes, you read that right. Today I'm taking a break from talking about fanfiction and magic equines. Today, I'm talking about corporate fiction and magic humans! I know it will be a transition for all of us, but there's more equivalency in writing quality than you might expect.

Today I'm talking about Unbowed, Part 1.

Read It Later Reviews #19 – Changeling, Magical Mystery Mistake, Sonic Rainbigot, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Get Thyselves a Room · 9:24am Jul 6th, 2015

Hello to all my new followers!

For those of you who who are new, I periodically review stories and give my own personal recommendations on them. The stories are taken from my voluminous “Read It Later” lists, or alternatively are drawn from various places around the site. I am somewhat notorious for “hating everything”, but I assure you, there are things that I love.

Just not many of them.

Read It Later Reviews #29 – Every Mare Needs Her Stallion, Not a Princess, Let’s Find You a Date!, Felt Heart, Discord Applies for Citizenship Papers · 12:44am Sep 4th, 2015

This could also be called “four shipfics and a random story”. In my Rarity shipping kick, I read the rather strange Every Mare Needs Her Stallion as well as three RariLight pieces. Then, just to round things off, I read one of the highest rated stories on FIMFiction, Discord Applies for Citizenship Papers, which happens to also be extremely short.

How did they all stack up?

Read on.
