Critics United :

This movement has been started because of having to wade through pages and pages of script format, Q&A/Truth or Dare, self insert, song fic stories that are being posted on FF. Net. We do leave honest, thorough reviews in order to help the writer. We point out mistakes, offer ways to fix them and better the story, and praise any good qualities of the fic. However, if a fic is breaking the rules and the author refuses to change it, we will report it. If you are interested in joining, these are the basics:

1. We must read something of yours (your choosing) to see if you actually can give advice to others. If you do not have writing on this site, we will judge by the way you carry yourself on the page and two links to reviews you have given two different fics. Preferably where you've given criticism.

2. Your work must follow all the rules of the site.

If you prove to be just what CU needs, the first thing we will ask you to do is have a link to our forum and at the top of your page have it say, "I am a member of Critics United". The members of Critics United will be listed on this profile with clickable links so others can find you. If someone asks you to join Critics United, simply direct them to this profile for this insturctions or to our forum.

Next are the basic rules of this group:

1. We point out issues and offer advice on how to fix them while praising them on what they did do right. Being blunt is just fine though as we do not sugar coat.
2. There is no set number of how many fics you have to critique, but do go in with an open mind and not looking for mistakes only.
3. We do report stories that break the rules when the author refused to change it.

Reason Why You Could Be Denied:

1. Your writing is breaking one or more of the FF. Net rules.
2. You have practices in your writing that are incorrect. Ex: Capitalizing words to emphasize or doing dialogue like this: "The horse slapped me." She said. That's incorrect.
3. Your writing has an amateur feel to it. (Ex: portrayal of story line, lack of visual aspects and characterization etc.)

-You will not be asked to critique anything you are not comfortable with.

We do ask the whether you are accepted or not that you act mature about the decision. Denial is not permanent. If you fix the issue that made it so you couldn't join, contact us again and we'll take a look.
