Format Breakdown


Today's story relies heavily on its twist/reveal. I have made as much effort as possible to not spoil said reveal, but this is a difficult story to critique while avoiding spoilers.

Four Year Anniversary Special: cleverpun's Critique Corner — If You Came to Conquer/Inexcusable · 9:06pm Jan 14th, 2016

Last year, to celebrate my three year anniversary on the site, I wrote a long, meandering blog post looking back on all the writing I had done. It was an interesting exercise, though its experimental nature perhaps limited its utility.

cleverpun's Concise Critiques #3 · 11:39am Jan 29th, 2016

I go into every story hoping for something that will be worth commenting at (great) length on. Unfortunately, not everything warrants prolonged critiquing. Here is a selection of reviews/critiques, in two sentences or less.

Ratings on "I Just Need Some Time..." · 8:24pm Feb 9th, 2016

I've noticed that in the short time that my newest story, "I Just Need Some Time...", has been uploaded, it's got some very... Negative ratings, polar opposite of what we'd call reassuring; so my question is this:

Is the writing itself bad, or are people just upset with the dark nature of the story?

Why Crossovers are Bad · 1:17am Oct 28th, 2015

Generalizations are a dangerous thing. They often have exceptions, and require subjective judgements to make. The subject of today’s opinion piece, however, is a generalization that I believe in.

CCC: cleverpun's Critique Corner #1 · 4:29pm Jul 7th, 2015

One thing I like about the FIM fanfic fandom is the abundance of reviewers and critique available. It helps authors grow, helps other authors learn from their mistakes, and helps inform readers of stories they may like or dislike.

I generally avoided being one of those reviewers for a long time. I usually preferred a direct dialogue with the author, so my critique would often take the form of a lengthy comment directly on the story in question.

Today’s story uses not one, but two twists. Since the first twist is fairly obvious (perhaps intentionally so), I have not bothered to spoiler-tag it.

Today’s critique is another “retro” one. It is an adaptation of a comment I already made, on a story I have already read, rather than completely new material based on a recent read.

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.

Why you shouldn't care what others think + what I think should be done to the rate system on this site · 8:03pm Oct 4th, 2020

Not a lot of things can or do bother me anymore.

For starters, I realised early on in my younger years that it is absolutely pointless getting worked up or worried over the little things, I.E, when you get picked on, called names or when you get singled / left out of a group. Unless it's very personally inflicted, it doesn't bother me. It shouldn't bother anybody, really.
