July 26th [One Shot] by Star-chan

Author: Star-chan
Title: July 26th [One Shot]
URL:  http://www.winglin.net/fanfic/July26/
Reviewer: Mickey

Title : 4/5
` The title had me wondering what it was going to be about, but at the same time, it wasn’t eye-catching.
It’s a wonderful title, but you once get to understand what it actually means after reading the story.

First Impression : 8/10
` My first impression of the story, I didn’t that that it would be a super sad story. I thought by looking at the colors, it would have been more happy/sad, instead of sad throughout the whole story. The poster and background is beautiful though.

Forewords :  9/10
` Your forewords had gotten me absolutely hooked. Wondering what it would be about and also got me thinking about my true friends. It was a bit confusing to me though. I had no idea what was going on though. I had to read it about five times before actually reading the story.
Plot : 14/15
` Your plot was really good. I have never read something like this, because I usually don’t like reading sad type of stories. This is a story I would have recommended to anyone who was looking for a story to read. At first, I was very confused on what was going on. I literally had to read the first couple of paragraphs a couple of times. I didn’t know who was talking or who the narrator was talking about.
 
Creativity/Originality : 15/15
` Like I stated above, this is an original.

Flow : 8/10
` The flow was great, but while I was reading the story, I felt like it was dragging on. You wrote in big, long paragraphs which is a great thing, but because it was confusing and had to keep re-reading it, if felt long.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 10/10
` I have nothing to say here, everything seemed to be fine to me.

Characterization : 5/10
` Throughout the whole story, I had no idea who you were talking about it. You didn’t use any names but instead used: brother, sister, me, etc.
While I was reading, I just couldn’t keep up on who the narrator was talking about. The girl who died or any of the other names should have a name, just so it’s easier to understand about who the narrator was talking about. It was hard to catch up on everything with the characters.

Writing Style : 8/10
` Your writing style was awesome, although it got me confused on some parts. I felt like you crammed too much in one paragraph or too little in one paragraph. But your writing style was really clean and nice. You have a very unique/nice way of writing and by the way I read your story, I know that you’ll be even a more awesome writer in the future.

Overall Enjoyment : 5/5
` I REALLY enjoyed reading this Story. I usually don’t read sad kind of stories, so yours is actually the first story I have read that was a sad story. I like more of the comical/romance kind of stories, but this story was very unique.

Title: 3/5
So far, the title doesn`t seem to go along with the story as much. While I was reading your chapters, I had a hard time trying to figure out how the title relates to the story.

Poster/Background: 10/10
The poster is absolutely beautiful. It had a nice vibe to it, and I thought that it went really nice with the story.

Forewords: 5/10
Since the forewords had nothing but the characters, it seemed kind of plain, but it was actually somewhat interesting. You including not only what their like, but a bit of the story plot as well.

Plot: 11/15
This is my first time reading a plot like this. It seemed very different from other stories I read, because I don`t usually read stories that happen AFTER marriage. Also, with Danielle becoming a nanny for the kids, everything seems new to me.

Creativity/Originality: 11/15
Like I said before, everything seems to be original except with the parts when Yunho doesn`t have time for his kids, I`ve read a SOME stories like that. But excluding that, everything seemed to be fine.

Flow: 5/10
I thought the plot seemed to go a bit fast for me. It seemed like it would jump from place to place without you even describing what happened in between those times. You seem to skip times, like… “two days later—“ and stuff like that.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 9/10
I didn`t seem to have any problems with your spelling, actually. I didn`t bother me while I was reading, so that`s a good thing.

Characterization: 6/10
Honestly, I wasn’t able to figure much about the characters. Everything is pretty much that Danielle is a good person and so is Yunho but he doesn`t show it. Also, you haven`t mention that Danielle was a black person until later in the story. You should try to put that she`s a black person in your forewords, because the whole time, I have thought she was a Korean person. Although, I was really able to picture the characters in my mind, because you describe them really well.

Writing Style: 9/10
Your writing style didn`t seem to bug me at all. It was really neat and understandable. It was easy and you described what was going on in small sentences without really leaving much out.

Overall Enjoyment: 4/5
Yes, I really did enjoy this story. To be honest, I check up on your story couple of times a week to see if you have updated. This so far, is a really cute story ^^ I can`t wait for your next chapters ! I won`t be a silent reading, so look out for the username, “mickeyyyxD” because that`s me. LOL

Fickle by SandySsi

Title: 4/5
Your title was unique and it was something different. It caught my eye and that’s a good thing.

Poster/Background: 5/10
I can see where your poster is coming from. SIMS. I can see the resemblance with the game and the story. In the story, you could see Young Bae, Ji Yong, and Sandy partying around, making out, flirting, etc; which matches with SIMS. But, it didn’t really stand out to me.

Forewords: 10/10
I loved your forewords ! It made me interested in the story. You explained everything detail about the characters but not too much. You wrote not just their personality, but the details of background, goals, relationships, etc.

Plot: 10/15
This is not really a cliché story, but it wasn’t a kind of plot that made me go, ‘WOW.’ It just felt like an average plot. Though I like how Sandy isn’t pure Korean, so it shows the differences.

Creativity/Originality: 10/15
The creativity is different from others. It wasn’t something I read of Winglin. The plot is unique and you just added your own ideas into the story.

Flow: 8/10
The flow so far is actually great. It’s not going at a really fast pace, but it’s not going at a slow pace either. Though it does seem like your jumping around here and there.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 9/10
I spotted really minor spelling mistakes, but not to the point where it made me re-read the story over and over again.

Characterization: 8/10
You really introduced your characters really well. I was able to understand their feelings about everything. I was able to picture them in my mind while reading the story.

Writing Style: 7/10
Your writing style is really easy to read. Your explain what’s going on with major descriptions and not just talking wise.

Overall Enjoyment: 3/5
Not really enjoying the story so far. It wasn’t a story that made me go, ‘Oh my gosh’

My one and only Yoochun by Samantha

Title : My one and only Yoochun

Warning : The reviewer has nothing against the author. This is just an honest and strict review which will help the author to improve himself/herself in the next attempt of writing a story. Please do not get angry if there any unpleasant comments.

Title: 3/5
I guess the title fit with the story, although it didn’t catch my attention at all. If I were to see this on the site, I would just pass by it.

Poster/Background: 7/10
The poster was really pretty, but I can’t say it’s the best one. The green didn’t really go for my eyes. And when I saw the picture, I thought that Yoochun and Changmin were going to be fighting over the girl. Not Changmin being the brother, while Yoochun & us readers being in a relationship.

Forewords: 4/10
The forewords was really boring to me. It had a simple paragraph of what the story would be about, and I know that the personality for the readers is our own, but you could have described a little bit about Yoochun & Changmin.

Plot: 9/15
This plot is very cliché. Guy breaks up with the girl, girl gets mad so she gets another man to make her ex-boyfriend jealous. I’ve read this a lot of times. The guy is a nobody, but suddenly gets noticed by the most popular girl in school, cliché.

Creativity/Originality: 9/15
Again, no creativity nor originality. While I was reading, I was able to predict everything that was going to happen, and that’s NOT a good thing. Your trying to make the readers more into the story and make them want more.

Flow: 4/10
The flow was WAY to fast. In every chapter, you kept saying -one week later- or -two weeks later- etc. You should have described what happened those days. I didn’t know what was going on because the time just went by too fast. At first, Yoochun was a nobody and then all of a sudden the readers are already in a relationship with Yoochun.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 5/10
I saw A LOT of spelling and grammar mistakes. The spelling and grammar mistakes got in the way of me trying to understand what was going on. Try to re-read and proofread your writing before posting them.

Characterization: 5/10
This was really hard for me to find out. At first, Yoochun was a nobody but suddenly got noticed by the most popular girl at school. Yoochun is best friends with the most popular girl in school, but yet he’s not noticed. I don’t get that. The only one I was able to figure out was Changmin. He’s very careful and overprotective with his younger sister.

Writing Style: 4/10
Your writing was way to hard to understand. I had to re-read over and over again to understand what was going on. Instead of putting every together, there should be some space in between the lines so that it would be easier to read. When I was reading this, it literally made me go, ‘GAHD’ Also when you write about what the characters are thinking, instead of writing what the people are thinking in the middle of the sentence, you should put a P.O.V or something.

You wrote :
"_____________ I know its not anyones fault. *YOOCHUN* thought Changmin. So don't cry and I'll take you I told Yoochun I'll take care of you and my unborn niece or nephew so don't cry and lets go." smiled Changmin patting your head.

It could be something like :
Changmin’ s P.O.V
“___________ I know its not anyone’s fault, so don’t cry. I’ll take you to the doctors, so don’t worry. Plus I told Yoochun that I’ll take care of you and the unborn baby, who could be my nephew or niece” I smiled, patting my sisters head.

*UGH, Yoochun* I thought to myself.

Overall Enjoyment: 2/5
I didn’t really enjoy this story as much as I thought I would.

Keep up the good work ! And I know this is a bad score, but don’t feel bad about it. Reviews are supposed to help the writers with their writing.
