Oh how terrible! I'm so, so sorry to hear about your brother's best friend (who you were close to as well) That is just shocking.
Warm wishes to you, your brother and your friend's family.

Hi there

Oh I knew you were so busy with with study - I didn't think you'd be able to get to this. But thank you!!
Let me know which of your short stories you'd like me to critique - will do 2 :-)
I've forgotten what kind of critiques we're doing, so I'll go from yours when you're done.

Still waiting at the moment for HC review - being that it's now the weekend, I'm thinking they won't do them for a couple of days yet. It's great of them to do the reviews - it's time-intensive.

If you don't have time to do as much as ten chapters, don't worry - I know you're flat-out busy too!

Hello, I was wondering if you might be able to check out my work. I wouldn't mind doing a read swaps. And I return all
those who review my work with reviews on their work as well.

I'm trying to get this book ready for publication this year, and I'm looking for any suggestions on improvement.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank for you time.

Sincerely,

Nataliya Maize

Hi! I'm writing a novel, Winter Child. Please check it out when you get the chance! I'll definitely return the favor.

Here's an excerpt from the sixth chapter:

"A wolf was chasing me. It was long, perhaps three meters, and from the ground to its shoulders, it was a good meter. A thick coat of bristled fur shone with the colors of night: blues, blacks, grays, silvers all blending together in one rippling sheen. Wickedly curved fangs peeked out from bruised gums, but it had no eyes.

Where there should have been eyes were gaping holes as black and empty as the hardest heart, maggots crawling in them and feeding on broken flesh. The faster the wolf's slender feet pounded on the musty forest floor, the more globs of half-crusted blood dripped out the sockets. It was impossibly swift; the powder of dissolved bones rose up in a fog with each smack of paw on ground.

I screamed as I ran, as breath tore out of my throat, until the only scream I managed was a wheezing gasp. The wolf, too, screeched, but unlike mine, the banshee noise never stopped. Its desperate shrieks of agony and rage curled the leaves into black shadows, and even as it shoved me to the ground, crumbled dirt and beetles filling my mouth, it screamed. When the fangs were biting into my skin, and the maggots fell to my flesh, the shrieks were there, hollow and bursting, nowhere and everywhere, and at last it consumed my heart."

Thanks!
Izzy

To all my friends on Inkpop, a message I’m sending out.
To those who don’t like these messages, fret not and do not pout.
This message is only for those, whose work I’ve enjoyed and read.
So don’t mutter at the screen, or shake an irritated head.

To the stars who’ve picked my book, a big thank you I say aloud.
Thanks for all the helpful comments. I hope to do you proud.
For those who’ve yet to read it, your support would be just great.
And to those who didn’t like it, that’s life, I’m still your mate.

With Sunday midnight looming, it’s starting to get tense
The stress is really mounting, no more sitting on the fence.
If you have me in your Watch List, now’s the time to read.
For if I’m to stay in the top five, your support I truly need.

The Carrier of the Mark sits pretty at number three
Getting the editorial review means everything to me.
Will my book make it? The answer, I know not.
But with your kind help, I might just have a shot.

Thanks everyone.
Leigh Fallon

Hi there! I was wondering if you could check out my new book: 'The Connotations of Butterflies'. It's a fairly dark novel but I hope that won't bias your immediete impression of it. I would really like to hear your own personal opinion on it. I'll be sure to return the favor in whatever way can benefit you most. Thank you so much for your time! I hope to hear from you soon :)

Hi there
I read and commented on your work a little while ago. I have your work queued in my favourites for a place on my picklist. I'd really appreciate if you could check out my book The Carrier of the Mark as a return read. It really would mean the world to me to hear your thoughts on it and perhaps get your support too.
If you do, please let me know how you get on I'd SO appreciate it.
Thanks and talk soon.
Leigh

Hey!
Here's where I insert something clever to make you laugh and want to read my work...I'm fresh out of ideas though, so I'll just cut to the chase.
I know you probably get these types of messages alot, but I'd love to read your work if you'd take a look at my SS "Just Us"
Thank you sooo much!

Hi!
My name is Sarah and I was wondering if you would be willing to read my work in progress, "For Something". Originally, I posted it to see if ANYONE would like my work but then became shocked with the response! Now I am sincerely curious as to how many people may actually like my writing. It's hard to tell sometimes if my friends are being biased and liking it just because it's me, or if they truly do. Please consider reading "For Something" and feel free to add it to your watchlist or Picks if you do. Thank you so much for your consideration! :)

Hi my name is Sarah and I would be honored if you could take some time to read my work, "For Something". Ever since I was little, I've wanted to be an author, friends told me I have potential, but I always question their judgment because it may be biased and I would really love to have some feedback of any kind. I will return the favor. Please consider reading "For Something". Thank you! :)

All the best.

Writing a thesis?! No wonder you've been short of time.
I was just checking if I was meant to go first in the full-critique swap. I was wondering if i was meant to, though didn't quite know what style of critique you had in mind.
I've got to go away for a few days myself now, so please don't even think about reviewing my book - concentrate on your thesis!!!!!
I'm most probably going to be doing a major change to my first few chapters, so it's likely to be very different by the middle of the month.
