Title: Perspective
Author: Uchiki na Kage
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: None
Fiction Rated: K+
Status: In-progress
Reitaicho's rating: 4 out of 5

Review: This is more like a series of vignettes or character sketches on how the Naruto characters relate or interact with Uzumaki Naruto. It's very sweet and the author has a very clear grasp of each different character. It's well written and very original.
The first chapter actually made me cry. There! That should be enough incentive to read it!
If you're looking for a fresh point of view, or at the least something very original, go read this story.

Title: Hinata's Little Black Book
Author: PurpleMoon3
Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: None, hints of HinaNaru
Fiction Rated: T
Status: Complete
Reitaicho's rating: 4 out of 5

Review: No story I have posted as of yet has reached such heights of originality. Of course, this one can be argued to be slightly non-canon, but you can't prove it! Hinata? The shy, soft-spoken girl with no self-esteem? Maybe... but she's really a woman with a fiery passion for revenge and flawlessly planned revolutions! You never thought she had it in her, didn't you? Well, of course you didn't, because there's no one who's quieter that Hinata! And all this planning she's got going... of course it's for the one person who inspired it all. Uzumaki Naruto.
Best Hinata-centric fic I've ever read. Even if you don't like her, I'd suggest you read, because this will make you like her.

Hinatas Little Black Book

are all the fics u read naruto

I loved the X-Men: Evolution cartoon. Until they started screwing up the plotline. They tripped into the same pitfall as pokemon and digimon: they started adding unnecessary characters.

Kurt was always my favorite! ^^

Title: After the Dance
Author: Umi Pryde
Fandom: X-Men: Evolution
Pairing: Kitty/Lance (Kurt/Amanda?)
Fiction Rated: K
Status: Complete
Reitaicho's rating: 3 out of 5

Review: This was a simple little fluffy oneshot. I've never been much for the Kitty/Lance pairing (I've actually written some Evolution fics of my own with mostly Kurt/Kitty pairings), but I've never been adverse to it. It seems to take place right after the episode where Forge tried to fiddle with Kurt's teleporting abilities, the one with the little dino-raptor things that come out of the dimensional holes during the high school dance. It focuses on Kitty, who is left alone after the ruined party without a date, and longing for a partner: namely, Lance. We watch as the fellow X-Men react to Kitty and Lance's developing relationship, but lacks some needed character-depth.
All in all, very cute and simple, an uplifting fifteen minute read.

After the Dance

I suppose this also works as a constructive advice thread. wink I hope this is helpful to you, Umi Pryde! For such a simple oneshot, I think you were trying to cover too many people. If you wanted to focus on the Kitty/Lance relationship you could have done without the other X-Men and just focused on Kitty's thoughts and feelings as Lance comes to her.

I loved Kurt, though! ^^
Poor fuzzball, he's always doing the wrong thing.

My fandom is Yugioh. I'm looking for a critque more on writing style than cannon on the characters (merely because its not listed among those you're familiar with, and I feel I write everyone in character fairly well.)

Here is a list of the stories I promote full-heartedly of my own collection. I ask that you pick one (or two, if you like) and critque them.

From Mortal Lips My extended pet project. Although my second story about vampires, my first to truly incorpoate the full spectrum of the life of a vampire. Written in first person, a mortal listening to the tale in the late 1930s. Incorporates themes of love, betrayl, lust, homocide, and other such things related to the tragic lives of vampires. Rate 'T' for mild language and violence.

Blood Canvas 'Mature' Warning My latest story, a little of 10,000 words. I spent six months working on it, and it alone. I refer to it as my "'07 pet". Written as a prize for the one person that entered my contest. I am told it is a terror and brings about thoughts of 'Silence of the Lambs'. My favorite part of that description? I've never seen the movie or read the book. Rated 'M' for gore, homocide, and masocism.

Shadows of the Night -Although my oldest story written in the unaltered style of a well-read fourteen year old, still one of my favorites. Rated 'T' for mild language and homocide.

Show Me The Meaning Just a general, incredibly fluffy fiction. Written mainly for the 'fluff factor' as well as the fact I love this pairing, it was began as a tribute to a dear friend of mine who has had both the attention span, as well as the drive, to remain on fanfiction for over five years. Rated 'T' for mild language and minimal adult themes.

The Entire End of Me Basically the first story I ever rewrote. Rewritten because of the policies of fanfiction that banned songfiction, it was also the first of my stories to use the loophole of original lyrics. It is an angst/romance piece. Rated 'T' for language and suicide.

I know next to nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh. But I did take a look at one of your stories, Anilates, to see what I could!

Title: From Mortal Lips

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Pairing: ???/??? (I don't know any of the characters!)

Review: From the very first sentences I was strongly reminded of Anne Rice. I've never been a fan of the Victorian style of writing (for I have no patience sweatdrop ), but in this story the style had obviously been modernized to fit the author's needs. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised by a beautiful, and to-the-point, language (unlike the constant drone of old Victorian works). Yet, similar to Anne Rice, the smooth and detached rhetoric made for an ethereal atmosphere that disconnects the reader from reality and brings them to a place where language is matter.
This is, in fact, one of my main pet peeves with Victorian writing. The dialogue is old-style and unrealistic. Six year olds don't talk like Oxford scholars! Maybe people talked like that at one time, but that's just my opinion.
I didn't read the entire thing, considering I ceased to be able to understand it after the first chapter-- I said I know nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh!
However, the writing style leaves little wanting. It is delicate and artistic, and I'm sure to a Yu-Gi-Oh fan (coupled with an actual understanding of the fandom), it is a beautiful piece of work.

From Mortal Lips

Anilates, I did very much enjoy your story. The prologue was practically a piece of art. (I started feeling a little out of the loop after that.)
But the fact that I can so strongly relate it to Anne Rice, though is nothing to be ashamed of-- she is a wonderful writer, is something that I'm a little apprehensive about. I could tell that you were not copying her, and you certainly changed the style to your own. But such a strong influence from one already existing author could detract from your originality in the future. In my opinion, you should try to further hone the language until it becomes something truly of your own. For instance, people don't speak that way anymore. Anne Rice's way of dialogue is far outdated and was really only meant for vampires in the past ages.
It would please me, and other contemporary readers, I think, if you were to at the very least modernize that part of your writing.
But then again, you can do what you like. Questions of style are also questions of taste. My preferences may go one way, while yours may go another.
