Review Requests

Rules for Requesting Reviews

Want to request a review? There's no 'correct' way to do it. PM me, comment on my blogs, comment on my user page, it's all good. As soon as I've acknowledged the request I'll go into my Review Schedule and add yours to the queue. Just remember: requests are always first come/first serve. There are a few rules:

NOTICE: As of April 12, I am 22 weeks ahead of schedule. Due to me trying to build up room in my schedule for a planned Longfic Only Blog, that number can only go higher. Please be aware that this means any requests made right now will likely have a very long wait time.

Long Stories

As of April 23, I have only 7 slots left for 2025!

A story is considered "long" if it is 70,000 words or more. I have a policy of reviewing one long story per blog post, but that means I have a strictly limited number of slots available and requests are competing with sequels or stories I selected on my own. To keep this from getting out of control, I will only open the schedule for a time period to the end of the next year (so if it's currently 2022, the schedule closes when 2023 is fully booked).

There is no upper limit on the wordcount for requested stories (current record: 2,020,000), but I will not bottleneck my schedule with a lot of huge stories and may reject them if I feel like they're going to cause a scheduling issue.

No Clop

Have I read clop? Yes. Do I review clop? Not often. My reviews are for stories, not blatant fap material. That said, every once in a while one slips through the cracks. If you can convince me that there's actually a story under all the mess, then I will consider it.

Incompletes

As a general rule, I avoid reading incomplete stories. I tend to make an exception to requests, but I reserve the right to decline incompletes.

Review Schedule and Other Spreadsheets

My Long Story schedule is completely booked for 2024. This means that if you want to request a story longer than 70,000 words, you will be waiting until sometime in 2025 for that review. I cannot guarantee it'll be "early" 2025, either. Just something to keep in mind.

The Review Schedule

This schedule lists the stories that are set to be reviewed every week. The next six weeks are always included. I may have more than six scheduled, but only the nearest six will actually be visible at any time.

The Reading Schedule

The day-to-day reading schedule, which dictates what I will read and when. Mostly meant for my own use in limiting how much I read every day, but kept available to the public for the sake of transparency.

Archive Spreadsheet

The archive. Contains a list of every story I've ever reviewed with links to both the story and the review.

Read this if you want to see what I go through every Saturday to deliver to you folks a weekly review blog. Be warned, this thing is overbearingly detailed.

Concepts & Creations Index

A while back I started posting blogs detailing stories that I conceived but don't expect to ever write. The link below is to an index of all these blogs.

Yo, turns out, unbeknownst to both of us, there was actually a competition to be the first Paul to follow me - AND YOU JUST FUCKING LOST, MR. TIRED LUNA. COULDN'T SCHEDULE VICTORY, HUH? Because Paul Smith Jr just came onto the scene (and based on the avatar, probably came all over the scene, too...). The only way this could be more shocking is if that's your alt, LOL.
