I am here for you, not the other way around, and I am committed to giving you the best service possible. For that to go smoothly, though, we need to have a basic agreement on a few things. So, without further ado...

1) Accepted applications are completely up to my discretion. I may refuse your story for any reason, stated or otherwise, and I am not required to provide a reason. I might simply be too busy at the time. I will be as kind as possible in declining, though, if I do.

2) Please be polite to me. Even if you are not, I will be kind to you, but if I think that you're going to be rude, that makes me less likely to accept your request(s).

3) This one is more of a warning: I'm a fairly direct person. There are probably going to be a few suggested edits I give that aren't couched, sugar-coated, or even explained in a full sentence.

Ex: "verry beautiful features" -> "very beautiful features" or even sub out whole phrase for stronger word/phrase like "gorgeous features" or "exquisite features"

Please don't take offense to this; it's quicker and simpler for me, especially since I will be leaving many comments on each review.

4) Each request is for no more than ten minutes worth of chapter. If your requested chapter is longer than this, then I will cut off there. If you have several chapters in a row that add together to equal ten or fewer minutes, you can apply for me to review all of them. 

5) If your request is for chapters that are not sequential (in a row), then please fill out a separate form for each non-sequential chapter. For instance, if your chapters 1, 2, and 5 equal ten minutes together, you can apply for 1 and 2 to be read together, but you have to fill out a different form for chapter 5.

6) This rule is about something really important that is totally not meant to distract the people that are looking for the "p" word by skimming through the rules from finding it... Alright I think we're good. So, the spot for the password isn't included in the form chapter, so it's up to you to include it. I don't care what you put as the password as long as it's clean and doesn't give away what the password is. It also can't be whatever the person before you put.

7) I will try to let you know within no more than a week whether you have been accepted or not, but it will probably be more like a couple days at most. Therefore, please do not message me again—in my comments, PMs, or on my message board—until a week has gone by.

8) If you are third or more on the queue, then it may take a week or more for me to get to your review. Please don't dog me about when I will do it—if you're on the queue, then I won't forget you. <3

9) If I am going take longer than a few days on your review, I will do my best to let you know promptly. 

10) Multiple requests will not be accepted until I have completed the first request. These will be put into a "Pending" queue.

1) This one's obvious, but follow all rules/prices and fill out your forms correctly, please! I don't know that this needs any explaining, but if you don't follow the rules properly, I will probably not accept you.

2) Before you apply: Follow me, please. If you aren't following this rule, then I will try to ask you to follow before I accept or decline. If I'm feeling nice, I might take your application even if you don't, but know that it will factor in to whether I take it. Feel free to unfollow if I don't accept. <3

3) After I accept: Read one chapter and leave 3—or more! ;D  —meaningful comments (One-word or only-emoji/emoticon comments don't count) on my book "Moonrise - A Short Story Collection". If you would rather read one of my other books, be warned that my poetry is marked Mature for references to self-harm, and you have to read three chapters, but the overall comment amount is the same.

4) After I complete the review: Give me/the review shop a shout-out on your message-board and/or in the book/chapter that I did the review.  In the form, I will ask if you are okay with me using quotes from your shout-out as a testimonial, and if you say no, then no hard feelings. (:
