Hi guys!

I'm brand new on lemonswirls! I was so excited to be hired for this site. I hope to get many, many reviews! (: I'm sure it's going to be fun working with every single one of you. Most of my information is under the reviewers section of the main site already.

But, to be more detailed, I would read anything (: Long to short, yaoi or smut. I just want to read a great story and if you think your story has the characteristics I'm seeking for, request from me!

Enough of that.

Rating Summary

95-100 - I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I was left thinking wow, I want to read more of this author's stories

82-94 - good, but has the potential to be a great story. Editing could change that.

70-81 - it was a decent read, not good, not bad

54-69 - your story is hidden in there somewhere, just organize it clearly. Write out an outline and figure out how you want to go from there.

less than 53 - I didn't enjoy your story. You need a beta, or even a better inspiration.
