Bravo. You are right in your assessment of how writers are. What a shame there have been no responses to your creative idea. So I will change that by stepping fwd *bows*I will be more than happy to swap reads. I review in a ceative way and will comment from the intellectual and the emotional perspective. If I can think of nothing positive to say I will say nothing. This might not be a balanced approach, but at least it won't cause offence or hurt.
I regard reviewing as important as writing because we learn from reading other writers and we learn from weighing their work.
As for my own stuff. I wld like any comments of any kind on Watching Swifts a contemporary novella set in London's Kew Gardens one swift summer.
If this post produces a mutually useful exchange of reads I am likely to do more.
I've had a look at several threads on this creative group and this thread seems the most promising.
ill do it http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3... its an autobiography from my future self, following the events that concluded in my owning of the world
Anyone up for a R4R? :)The Days Of Kelsea's
http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
Demi Costello is heartbroken, frustrated and scared. She is living in a world of grief and horror.
Kelsea Richardson was her best friend. And three weeks ago, she went missing, leaving no trace or information.
Then Demi finds her diary. Of course the police want any evidence they can find, or anyone can find, but that diary is full of Kelsea's life, her hopes, her dreams, her hardships, and secrets.
Demi can't hand it in. Yet. She has to find out what happened first, before anyone else does.
In this story, we take a journey through two best friends' lives, written in two different formats - Kelsea's heart warming, breath taking diary enteries, filled with love, tenderness and sorrow. And Demi's flashbacks, and memories, of her time spent with her best friend.
And every step along the way, the reasons why become clearer . . .
Hey Sarah,If you're still up for doing a R4R, I'd be interested! We could maybe just swap books and set a time limit on when we both have to leave a review for it? Let me know if you might want to do that. :) It's easier if you private message me.
Hi,I'm Kendra! And I really really enjoy reading (well duh that's the whole reason I'm here but anyway!). I have always found reading as one of my greatest hobbies and I have always been amazed by how books could transport you to a whole new world. So one of my favorite types of books are Fantasy and Si-fi things like that and I have been working on a little project for a while. My Book is called Wonder City
Description:Thousands of generations ago the world was plagued with crepuscule darkness caused by the Human's ignorant actions destroying their own world. Everything around them started to crumbled as the Earth started to get torn apart by war,greed, pollution and poverty. Humanity was in a desperate time of need, and everything was in chaos. Humanities hope and future was very bleak everyone feared it was truly the end. But, coming to save them were the Visionaries. They convinced the people to join them and their new shining era of hope. Now the world is pure ridden of poverty,hunger,sickness,and drought. Thanks to the Visionaries no one has to worry about trivial things of the past. Wonder City holds everything you could ever want in your perfect happy life. Huge towering walls block everything outside, keeping them safe from the desolate wastelands there ancestors called home. No one ever has to worry about the horrors outside, they are safe being ruled by the Visionaries. Everything seems perfect in Wonder city...but is everything really how the Visionaries say it is?

So! I really would appreciate it if someone would swap with me and give me a run down in what they think. Because I really like my story and have grown fond of it I would love whoever decided to click the link and give it a read! :D I am open for a book swap. Whoever reads my book would they mind reading all that I have? I think it would be best to give me your thoughts on the whole thing.

Just wanted to inform all the BDB (Black Dagger Brotherhood) fans in here that the 4th chapter of my fanfiction sequel, Lover Realized is up and ready for review. Comments and constructive criticism are greatly appreciated. Note: I have been putting off reading Ward's Lover at Last as I don't want it to interfere with my own ideas for our fav BDB couple :D So please no spoilers in the discussion of Lover Realized.
Thank you for all your support!

I am an avid reader of paranormal and historical romance as well as teen fantasy works. Any writers of those genres are welcome to private message me their stories with description and i will (at the very least) read the first three chapters and provide an honest review. Thank you!
Just realized I failed to provide a description for my story.***
Sequel to my fanfiction, Lover Possessed. A stranger, yet oddly familiar, woman has entered Blay's life in Qhuinn's absense, and he can't help but be intrigued. Who is she? Where did she come from? And as a gay man, he shouldn't feel attracted to her...
She has no name since she remembers nothing before stumbling into the streets of Caldwell, NY a few short weeks ago. But she is inexplicably drawn to the youngest warrior, Blay, for he has haunted her dreams for as long as she can remember.

Would anyone like to do a Read 4 Read with me? I posted one chapter of my story on my page and I will read anything (:Here's a short description:
Deligance Maple, age 17, realizes it's now time for the Career Attachment Ceremony in her underground city, The Underling. The Underling was created by corrupt government officials whose intention is to keep the citizens locked away, controlled, and kept under 24 hour surveillance to insure there will be no escapes. Deli walks around like one of their puppets but soon realizes she’s different than the rest. She experiences dreams of forests and different environments that are supposedly found in the Above Ground…although she’s never been there. Deli learns secrets her parents kept locked away, all while trying to survive the suicidal career she gets chosen for.
Not sure if this thread is still going. If it is I would be interested in doing a Read4Read.This is my first chapter of my new book - all comments are gratefully received:

The stories are all inspired by a friend and one of my favorite actors, robert englund who I have met this year. Please give them a check out and please let me know what you think. I just write for fun and for the love of it and I only write horror short stories. If u want me to read and review your stories, please let me know. Thanks. The storieson the link on my writing thread on here is: A murder in the rain-about a girl who discovers a murder in the rain, Chrysalis-a vampire story, and darkness within-a short serial in 8 chapters about a school that is haunted during a high school reunion. The story I posted in the thread is called halloween nightmare.
If u read my stories, I'll read yours and give an honest review. :-)
I could really use some feedback on my story. I'm not finished writing it yet, but I have posted all the finished chapters. I'm planning on finishing it around March, the story's anniversary. Anyways, if someone could read it and tell me what they think that would be great!Here's the summary:
For many years the Night Raiders have been terrorizing the village people of Pine View. Ransacking the markets, setting fire to houses, and destroying public property was just the beginning. That was until Peacekeeper stopped the Night Raiders from destroying all three villages completely. But now the villages lack a Peacekeeper and the Night Raiders are at it once again.
Sixteen year old, Avalon, has been called upon to help restore order and balance to the three villages, only she doesn't know it yet. Her once proactive grandmother recently passed away; leaving a necklace with a clear crystal strung into it. Avalon's grandmother had told her numerous stories of her childhood; stories that people would consider as fairy tales. Avalon made a promise that would protect the crystal and not let anyone get ahold of it.
One fateful day, while in a forest taking photos for a school project with a classmate, Avalon's necklace begins to glow. In a matter of seconds everything changed, her grandmother's fairy tale stories were no longer thought of as hallucinations.
Now, Avalon has been dragged into a civil war between the villages and the Night Raiders. The creatures in the forest refer to Avalon as the 'Peacekeeper'; the savior of the forest. Avalon doesn't even know what it means or what kind of problems she will face in the future.

Read, comment, vote, share!
I've noticed in a lot of groups that people post their writing, expecting it to be looked at. But not many people, or sometimes no one, look at it.
That's because everyone is selfish.
Right? Everyone! I am, you are... When you think about It deeply. You want your writing to be discovered, more than anyone else. It's only natural! You can't blame people.
Well have you ever thought that everyone else feels that way too? Everyone is just like you.
So I've decided that there is a good way, or a few good ways, to make everyone get their writing known a teeny bit more.
***********************
We will hold Read4Reads. In this discussion, you post your story with its description, and state what you want (comments on one chapter? Three chapters? Four? Etc.) Then someone else comes along with their story and description and their wish for it.
For example, "Hey Bob, if you read a chapter of mine and give an honest comment, I will do the same for you."
O.kay? So the person who arrived in the discussion second will go to the person's story who arrived first. Once the person that owns that story has seen that that person has dropped an honest comment there, they will thank them and head to their story, and do the same. You can also 'like' each others stories if you enjoyed them.
That way, everyone will get more reads as time goes on.
Please note:
Comments such as "It was good." have the right to be ignored by the author, and that person has the right to ignore the other person's request for them to view their story. This is because short comments are not helpful, praising or proving that the person has actually read the story. If you can't help someone else properly, then they won't do the same for you.
Abuse will be reported to me and then I will report it to goodreads and the abuser will be blocked from the group.
Comments may only be written on the chapter of the story you have been requested to read. Do not write them on the discussion thread or they will be deleted. It also makes the author think you have not read their story really.
Likes without comments should be ignored.
(All this applies to only people who have applied for the Read4Read thing with your story. Everyone else has the right to do what they want.)
