shadowycorner Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) 💖 Hello friends! 💖 I decided it might finally be time to open my very own review thread. I still very much adore reading fanfic of my fellow authors and friends, and now that the reviewing event is over and I'm not insane anymore, I'd still like to upkeep my reviewing, but might need some help from you pointing me in the right direction Reviewing Style: I am mostly just a huge fangirl! I always try to focus on the positives, things that I enjoyed, and so my reviews can be sometimes incoherently joyous and messy, but also enthusiastic. I don't tent to criticize unless you specifically ask me to give you CC. I can always do that too, though I'm not very good with grammar since English is not my first language, but I'm happy to take a closer look at whatever you have in mind. Preferences: As far as fandoms go, I'm mostly familiar with Harry Potter but I'm happy to read anything as long as I'll be able to understand the story without having to do too much research on my own. ✨ Original Fiction is very very welcome! ✨ As far as genres go, just warn me if there's something highly sensitive within the story. Things I definitely don't wish to read are graphic depictions of rape and over-the-top violence. While I'm open to ships, I won't read an adult/minor story and am not a big fan of Dramione or Sevmione, though I'm okay to read the former as long as it doesn't do Ron bashing. I can't handle that, sorry 😅 For a multi-chapter, please request one chapter at a time. I'd like to start off with 2 slots for now. I'm hoping to keep my turnaround time at about a week, so please if it's taking too long, poke me with a stick!

Felpata_Lupin Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Okay, I really shouldn't, but... Story and Author Name, including link: Not quite a honeymoon by Felpata_Lupin Warnings and Advisories: sexual content, violence (probably... ) Genre: Action/Adventure, Angst, AU, Crime/Mystery, Crossover, Drama, Romance Length: so far I only have the prologue, 793 words Ships: Remus/Female OC Summary: Quote The war ended two years ago, the curse is only a distant memory, and Remus and Chiara are going to get married soon. Wedding preparation is stressful, though, and the young couple decide to take a break and spend a couple of weeks in the city of Chiara's ancestors. Things don't quite go according to plans. Areas of Concern: I'm just curious about your thoughts. I'm not sure if this would be interesting at all, especially for someone who hasn't read the previous novel and doesn't have any previous knowledge of the characters. Is it too out of context? Is it enjoyable? Does it work as a prologue or is it too "straight into the issue"? Just any thoughts you might have would be wonderful!
