Snarry: Everyone's had that one booty call they wish they never made. This is the story of Harry's drunken booty call gone wrong. -tsunamihatake 

Hi there! So this story was very well done, and you're obviously a very good writer. This may sound strange but I liked your description of Severus' home, just because fan fiction writers tend to overlook the setting and focus on the interactions between characters. Additionally, I found a depth within the setting (hopefully you intended for there to be depth) and I liked that as well. Vocabulary was stunning and characterization was spot on. The dreaming part did confuse me though and I'm still uncertain as to whether or not the scene within the dream actually happened? I got lost for that bit I guess haha. One more thing, you tend to focus on the eyes of the characters a lot? You always have a unique description and such for them, but I would suggest avoiding that sort of repetition. Anyway, despite slight confusion I followed the plot and I was satisfied with the ending! Overall, it was a really nice story!

Snarry: Headmaster Severus Snape is wasting time in between paperwork by doing what else- thinking of the glorious Boy Wonder. -tsunamihatake

Hey! So I'm just assuming you submitted this in hopes of receiving an opinion on it? Hopefully that's what you wanted since I'm about to give one to you! Okay, so this was really good! I liked the dialogue (although there wasn't much) simply because you never used speaker attribution! I thought that was interesting and unique, especially since it worked out! The purpose of the story was there, and everything you wrote definitely advanced the story or at least filled it out. There were a few grammatical errors, but I'm just going to point out one; try to avoid using second person ('you') while a first/third person narrative has already been established! Overall, though, it was a really good short little one shot! Keep at it!

This is my first Harry Potter fanfic, my second fanfic overall. I usually do roleplay writing with others so this is a huge change. Can you please let me know what you think, thanks! :) -curiousdreamer21

Hi there! So first of all, I love Luna's character and I love how you've described her; it's wonderful really. Their relationship is really cute and sweet and I like how there's depth to it. In the first chapter, I loved how you explained the difference between Harry's relationship with Ron and Hermione and Harry's relationship with Luna as well. The acknowledgement of Harry and Luna's struggles as individuals is great too! The only major thing I'd suggest is basically just grammatical actually - make sure to separate any dialogue so that when a new person speaks, it's the start of a new paragraph! I don't know if this is right or not, but I like the symbolism of the plant. It may not have been your intention, but I feel as if it is a symbol of Harry in general, and I love that. I love it when stories get deep like that haha. The humour is clever as well, your story has definitely made me smile! Overall, I think it's a lovely story so far. I'm sure it will sprout into a beautiful fanfiction! Keep at it, babe!

Hi-Have you ever written anything yourself? Also what is your Ao3 username if you don't mind me asking? (:

Hello! I have been writing since the minute I could hold a writing utensil haha. Unfortunately, my lack in confidence forbids me from fessing up my personal AO3 account with which I post stories. However, if you're looking for the account I've created for this blog specifically, the username is simply the same as my url: hereliesyourfic.

It’s hard for some people to tell what the difference between a phobia and a fear is; however, there are differences, which we’re going to point out right now.

Under the cut just in case.

Submitting 15 Minutes by Alwaystheindian (completed Novel)

Hi! I just posted the last chapter in the 75 chapter series. The story is a 1/3 ... though the plot has points that seem contrived and you find out the reason why in final chapter. I am a 30 year old author and am interested to see what you would make of my 1D fanfiction. Please do the prologue for a review. You may post it publicly if you want to, but please let me know when you do post it. One thing you may note is the choppy nature of the paragraphs which is my signature style and lends to the book as large portions are written in rhyme. crap. It's hard to describe the book. It is about an evil church that has risen to international dominance. Niall sees dead people Louis has prophetic dreams, Zayn has a possessed hand and speaks to a talking bird, and Harry may or may not be the Teenage Christ.

It varies into a mixture of fantastic realism and transgressional fiction but with a strong moral at the end. I guess if you would read either the prologue or chapter 1... completely up to you and let me know what you think. Write a review, and if you want to do an edit please do one and send the edit to me in private. Edits are always helpful. No work of fiction is perfect. Okay, as long as you are not overtly 'mean' on purpose with your reviews, I am willing to take the risk. Here is the master list to the chapters: http://alwaystheindian.tumblr.com/15Minutes Just select either the prologue titled "The Murder of Joachim" or the first chapter titled "The Car-Crash-That-Never-Was" And thank you for your valuable time! <3 -- David

So I've just read the prologue and wow. Already this is one of the best fanfictions I've read haha. It's very professional and I'm definitely a sucker for figurative language. The tarot reading was wonderful. I'm curious, though; did you base the tarot cards off an actual deck or did you make them up? Either way I'm really impressed with your work. The description of not only the images but their meanings is awesome. The only complaint I believe I have is the lack of description of the mood of the environment and surroundings. For instance, whether the events occurred during the night or the day. Or perhaps there was a thunderstorm when the men visited the fortune teller. There was a lot going on though and I suppose while it would be nice little bonus to readers, what I've suggested isn't absolutely necessary. Joachim's character is interesting as well since he's only really an observer yet he's of importance. Anyway, this idea you have is incredible and I think I will continue reading your story because I'm interested in what you've done with it. I realize you said I could do an edit, but I only really noticed two or three grammatical mistakes. I'm really impressed with this honestly. I'm looking forward to reading this whenever I find the time. Amazing job on the prologue though! I'm sure the rest of it is just as great! Keep writing, man!

It's a short but i really like someone opinion on that so if you can thank you: www(.)wattpad(.)com/story/6477171-sorry-father-because-i%27ve-sinned-zarry-larry

Hey there! So first of all, I do suggest you proofread your writing a bit more! Some people don't enjoy stories as much if they aren't organized what is considered properly. So maybe start watching out for things like run-on sentences and where and when to punctuate, and such! Otherwise though, it is a very nice story! You had a good idea and you definitely threw in a really great plot twist! I liked that it consisted mostly of dialogue, and although it was short, it did have a little message for the readers - a little lesson for them about love, that is. I liked how you ended it as well; it was a really strong finish. Although I think editing your work more would probably appeal to more readers, this short little story was overall really quite good! Keep at it, I'm sure you have a ton more interesting ideas that would be very cool to read!

Allie has risen from the dead!

Hello, loyal followers that stuck around while I disappeared for what I believe was two weeks or so. A bunch of things sprung up and I was quite suddenly whisked out of town for a few days and then my friend basically kept me at her side and crazy busy for a good week. Anyway, sorry for the excuses, I'm back to running this blog! Tonight I'll be setting up promos for the two fandoms I already explicitly declared I'm doing opinions for, but I really do want to open up to way more fandoms! I do accept every fanfiction I receive, but in order to receive fanfiction I need to tell fandoms that I'm offering feedback! Therefore, if you have a suggestion for a fandom or a ship I should start introducing myself to, please please do let me know! Also, any feedback on the feedback I'm giving is greatly appreciated and if anyone has any questions about anything I do, I'm pleased to answer! Thanks for sticking around and happy writing!
