About my services: What I check for:
Spelling - simple mistakes, a word that doesn't fit (ex. the rain it falling), for vs. four etc.
Punctuation - A punctuation mark at every sentence, run on sentences, semi colons, commas, and more!
Grammar - Tenses, P.O.V, repetition (if something is pointless and repeated, ex. She was very happy when she saw it. He was surprised at how happy she was.) and more!
Characterization:
Canon - OOC (unless on purpose), little pointers (ex. I think adding a "Kufufu~" there would fit this part better), and interactions with other characters
OC/Reader - Not too Mary Sue like, shows development in character (if in a connected story), character has a well rounded personality and not boring/ flat
Plot:
Setting - is it a good setting for that type of story, is it 'realistic', is it accurate according to the show/book etc.
Other - is it interesting, does it get dull in one spot, is it dragging, is it too rushed etc.
Canon elements - Are the canon characters in character, do you show their little quirks (Mukuro - Kufufu, Colonello - Kora/Hey etc.), is their apparel correct with them, and more!!
Overall impression - You better tell me whether you want me to tell you straight up what I think of it or whether you want me to soften it for you. I'm not saying I'm going to tear you to pieces, just tell the truth of what I thought of it. For example I might tell someone this without softening it: I like this, the pace is good and the tone is nice. You need to throw some more action in before people get bored, and you could use a spellcheck at points. It has a great base, and a nice start. The characters were in character, and the interactions between them were good! Keep it up!!!
(See I'm not that bad!!!!)
Other:
Just ask me if you want me to check for anything other than what I've listed above.
What my strengths are: Checking for plot, grammar, characterization, and canon elements
What my weaknesses are: Spelling, but I'll do my best. and punctuation, sometimes my eyes rebel and decide that there's a period when there's not actually on there!
What I like in a story: A good plot, a good grasp on writing the characters, not afraid to do something that people might not like, and it has emotion.
What I hate in a story: Mary sues, it has no emotion and it's boring, I don't mind if there isn't any romance but at least throw in some drama, and finally I can not stand when people turn a character that's particularly cold and cruel and turns them into a mushy gushy love-sick puppy!!!
Will not read: Twilight
