Folks have given me blurb feedback, but I still haven't gotten any actual reviews. One or two would definitely be appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks in advance, guys, both for any potential reviews in the future, but also for all the advice I've gotten from the community since I went live back in April. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/review-request-angry-remembrance#post-6538 Thu, 24 Mar 2011 10:56:04 +0000 Katherine 6538@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Hey everybody! Looking for reviews for my... new-ish web serial, Angry Remembrance:</p> <p><a href="http://www.angryremembrance.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.angryremembrance.com</a> </p> <p><em>Brian grew up believing his father walked out on his family. Little did he know that he was a casualty to a war between powerful shapeshifters--a war that Brian is about to be drafted into himself.</em></p> <p>Much appreciated. :-) Feel free to plug your own web serial on here for me to read and review. I don't like horror, dystopia, or post-apocalyptic stuff, but other than that I'm pretty open-minded. My favored genre is fantasy, but I've been known to read many other things too! </p> <p>Just a fair warning I'm pretty darn slow. I'm still working through "Castle Terribel" (great stuff!) and I'd like to get caught up with that before reviewing anyone else. But you will go in my bookmarks and be reviewed eventually, I promise!

I'm thinking about a different graphic scheme to allow for black text on white for the next time I get into a snit and feel like changing everything. </p> <p>Appreciate you taking the time out to look!</p> <p>~Jaeger </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/site-review-reqest-dead-too-rights#post-6100 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 14:26:47 +0000 Fiona Gregory 6100@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>It's quite the story - raw, vicious, and compelling.</p> <p>I haven't had any problems with navigating the text, and the extras like maps and character summaries are enlightening. It gives the overall impression of a project that has been carefully thought out, and that gives me confidence in the story as a whole. </p> <p>I also don't like reading white on black, but the text is large and clear enough that it hasn't really bothered me. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/site-review-reqest-dead-too-rights#post-6092 Thu, 06 Jan 2011 10:57:09 +0000 Ash 6092@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Jaeger,</p> <p>I'm not a fan of zombie stories at all--that said, I found it very intriguing! Looks clean and easy to navigate. Very nice (even if it is just a blogger site!)</p> <p>My only complaint is the white font on black background-- hard for me to read (over 40 eyes)</p> <p>I found the addition of the setting, character biographies, etc very interesting. Great visuals! I'm not sure if this is common in webfiction? I like visuals and everything visual on your site was impressive!</p> <p>I read the first page and enjoyed what I read. (other than eye strain - but I'm battling a major headache today, so that doesn't help. ;)) </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/site-review-reqest-dead-too-rights#post-6086 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 09:48:48 +0000 Jaeger 6086@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I'm now 7 Chapters into the story with 6 Entries per chapter. Added supplemental pages to describe things like the setting, where folks are spending a lot of time, and character biographies. Pictures and maps too! Redesigned the site now that I've got a better grasp of how Blogger works. </p> <p>I'd love some feedback, both on the story itself and the functionality of the web page. Suggestions?

So, um, yeah, I'd say it works pretty well. :)</p> <p>I think it's fairly easy to navigate. Like the image on the top. Think the first sentence is pretty much one of the best tugger-inners I've seen on the web, and that's important for web fiction. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/site-review-reqest-dead-too-rights#post-5953 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:44:28 +0000 Jaeger 5953@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Uggg.

I'm still tweaking it and open to making changes. Unfortunately I'm using Blogger's free service right now so my options are a little limited. Thus I went for straight functionality with the hope that content would matter more. </p> <p><a href="http://webfictionguide.com/listings/dead-too-rights/" rel="nofollow">http://webfictionguide.com/listings/dead-too-rights/</a></p> <p>Oh! And feedback on the story itself is very welcomed, including what I've done wrong and what parts are most enjoyable. Its my first go at this writing thing but it won't be my last!</p> <p>Thanks so very much,<br /> Jaeger </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/review-request-cold-ghost-1#post-5874 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:18:47 +0000 intergal 5874@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Hello all.</p> <p>I'm re-requesting reviews of 'Cold Ghost', as we're now much deeper into the story (14 chapters and 1 side story so far) and I've also been doing some tweeking around the site. I wasn't sure if should create a new thread for this, especialy since I think I changed links since my first review, but I'll close down this thread and re-open the old one if need be.</p> <p>I've been debating whether or not to add on a 'Recommended Viewing/Reading' as well, but I don't know what people would think of this. (Not related to linking to other web serials) I'm mainly looking for web novel feedback, but comments on the site are fine as well. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to your feedback.</p> <p>Link to main site is here: <a href="http://evashandor.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://evashandor.wordpress.com</a> </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/review-request-the-complete-history-of-adam-panflick#post-3939 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:38:59 +0000 Stephen C Rose 3939@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Panflick is an online novel in the manner of Tom Jones. It deals with the limits of marriage, limits of family, limits of religion and limits of life. Its hero is Adam Panflick (1936 -). Irony, iconoclasm, a Terry Southern edge and a Kubrick sensibility suggest its general drift.</p> <p><a href="http://panflickinprogressprivate.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://panflickinprogressprivate.wordpress.com/</a> </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/review-request-killthewabbit#post-3825 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:16:06 +0000 killthewabbit 3825@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I'd like to invite reviews of KilltheWabbit (<a href="http://kill-the-wabbit.com)" rel="nofollow">http://kill-the-wabbit.com)</a>. The main character, killthewabbit, is a bodysnatcher — someone who gives rides to casual commuters — in the Bay area. He is also a predator.</p> <p>Although I am a published author, this is my first experiment with internet fiction. It's also proving to be quite a learning experience in terms of polishing the work as it evolves, since I'm writing it real time.</p> <p>I'd hoped this experience to be an exercise in agility - living in the characters so I could interact with readers. So in addition to welcoming reviews, I encourage readers to engage and become a part of the story. </p> <p>And clue me in to your work - I'm new to this world and am eager to learn. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/double-review-request-blind-rage-and-zombie-punter#post-3528 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:39:28 +0000 zoewhitten 3528@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>NiSp wrote:<br /> "then why not at least mention the previous books and possibly a link to where you can purchase them? maybe a brief synopsis of where we are in the story when episode 4 starts... just a thought! :)"</p> <p>Yes, these are good points. The link to the books is in my signature. Just visit my web site and click on Books. From there you can find links to buy the Campaign trilogy books as e-books or print copies. There are also free previews of the first parts so you can read a bit before you decide. (The e-books are 0.99 cents each if you're interested in checking them out.)</p> <p>Um...a brief synopsis...I'm not sure how to sum up the contents of ten stories and counting. I can do it in a wall 'o text, but a brief summary is much harder.</p> <p>But okay, trying to sum up quickly, a human summoner has performed blood magic rituals to call daemons back to Earth. This leads to an invasion force of daemons on Earth under the command of Marmot, the current leader of Tor'Sai Ro'ca, Heil. (Home world of the daemons.) Marmot plans on releasing a full invasion if he can sort out how to deal with the small population of magi still mixed in the human population.</p> <p>The summoner responsible has since gone on to be elected president of the United States after engineering a virus that killed hundreds of halfling and halfbreed mutants in the state of Arizona, and made hundreds of others like Jobe sick. Despite this plan being uncovered by vigilantes Jobe and Wendy, Damien wins, and everyone else loses. Jobe ended up broken and battered in the hospital, and Wendy left Jobe after the elites have convinced her that he's insane and cannot be trusted.</p> <p>Meanwhile in the elf world, a daoine sidhe (black elf) rebels against an order to kill an orc prince infected with the druid werekin curse. With nowhere else to go, the elf takes the orc to Earth. The events in that story, Erick's Journey, spin off into two story arcs, Blind Rage and Blood Relations. Blind Rage follows Jobe and Gavin, while Blood Relations follows Jobe's little sister Amber and her vampire partner, Vicky.</p> <p>Future installments will be branching out further to cover other races like the shapeshifters and kitsune, and others will cover the human magi too. The print books continue to follow Wendy Stoffel, who is my "premium content" character. As the series expends, I hope explain how the world goes from being relatively normal in the first books to a complete mixture of mystical races all living on Earth again. Most of the stories will be free, but Wendy's stories will be released as premium content to help fund my web site, and maybe cover some of my medical expenses too. (That's a long way off in the future, I think)</p> <p>Um, and that's probably about as clear as mud, isn't it? I'm awful at making a decent synopsis. (-_-*) In any case, it a big experiment for me, and one of the things I'm always struggling with is trying to make the single stories worth reading on their own without having to read the rest. With every new installment, there are some people who like the idea, and other who don't. So I go back to the drawing board to try again,to see if I can convince more people the next time around.. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/double-review-request-blind-rage-and-zombie-punter#post-3508 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 04:16:57 +0000 NiSp 3508@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>then why not at least mention the previous books and possibly a link to where you can purchase them? maybe a brief synopsis of where we are in the story when episode 4 starts... just a thought! :) </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/double-review-request-blind-rage-and-zombie-punter#post-3500 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 06:23:53 +0000 zoewhitten 3500@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Okay, I have two comments after reading the new front page review: </p> <p>First, there are three other books before Blind Rage that explain Jobe's psychic abilities, his lineage to a family of halflings, and his mental illness. I can't promote those book because they weren't free. Nevertheless, I can see how walking into "episode four" might cause confusion if you thought this was the first. </p> <p>Second, Wendy Stoffel was the teen that Jobe was protecting in the first trilogy, not his girlfriend. She developed a crush on him during the third book, but that's about it.</p> <p>Thank you for the reviews. </p>
