Winterfox...
I read the start of your elf-trapped-by-necromancer story to get an idea of your style and overall writing skills. Doesn't take long, as I'm sure you know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'm not saying you're pretty good without even peeking, trust me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Oh.
Sorry; I'm a pessimistic female... canine, and this kind of comments is usually made as a pat on the back as part of diplomatic attempts. Glad to see someone who actually looks at the thing. (I've received reviews before that say, "I haven't read your story, but I guess you're pretty good..." *slaps own forehead*)
Edit: People asking for a critique don't always
mean it, you know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I always figure better safe than sorry on that one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Granted. But they really shouldn't ask for something they're not prepared to accept, and y'know, on the 'Net there's no facial expressions or vocal tones to go by, so... (I also warned the person that I'm brutally honest, and the person still gave the green light.)
