Current Secret Submissions Post: here.
Suggestions, comments, and concerns should go here.

no subject
Part 1: What you liked and what really struck you as good writing. (If there is nothing good in the writing, expound on the idea. There's always something good. Always.)
Part 2: Comment on anything that "threw you out" of the story. If poor grammar or bad punctuation makes it difficult to be absorbed the story, it's not a "nitpick". It's saying "I noticed this enough that it bothered me". Anything that does that is a bad thing, and should be mentioned.
Part 3: Reiteration of good points, or other good points that you think may be worth mentioning.
Part 4: Profit.
See, good reviewers (or at least, those who do good concrit) know that it can hurt an author if the only thing they mention is what's wrong—and only mentioning what's right doesn't help anyone improve. Does it mean that the author must agree? Nope. Some things are relative, and that buggy use of 'this' instead of "this" might actually be a deliberate stylistic choice that everyone else adores. But if you only want to hear "yay give me more!" then it's your responsibility as an author to say that you're not open to concrit. The reviewers are trying to help, and to help in a nice way (which is something more people should do). If you don't want help, that's your issue, but don't blame them if you don't make of point of saying so.
Otherwise, the only one looking like an ass, my dear, is you.

105: Join the party, love. If we're doomed, at least it's going to be one hell of a Doomsday. :D (BTW, that pic? It made of awesome.) I think it can be applied to just about any couple with stigma against them—but slash seems to rock it better than others. I'm sot sure why. Still, win.
130: anime > manga. What happened, furuba? ;-;
136: Nah, homophobic is in the reasons. Just switching itself is cool.
145: OMGLOL.
167: No, I wouldn't say so. I didn't really bawl a storm either. The movie is amazing, but it's one long tragedy-fest. It's hard to work up tears for something that's not so much a punch in the gut as a shove down a steep slope.
