Hi Alexander!

Thank you very much for your interest in peer reviewing! Help with the queue is always valued and appreciated. Before we proceed to approve your application, I'd like to make sure you understand the peer review guides. To do this, I'd like you to review the following thread:

https://atharen.com/viewtopic.php?p=5349#p5349

That's Cobweb Respite by Moop!

Please post your review here instead of the thread itself for the time being as I would like to double-check your work. Let me know if you need any help or have any questions!

Build to last,
Ruin

Comments:
Hunting weasels with Mentalism? Why didn't I think about that? Interesting utilization of the magic. Love to see what other unorthodox ideas that Moop will come up with when she progresses in her Mentalism magic. Skills are played to the appropriate levels for both Moop & Joop. Aside from the few grammatical errors (one or two), it was a great read. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, let me know. Enjoy!

Hi Alexander,

That's a good review! I'm happy to approve you with a couple of notes to keep in mind:

1. It's ideal to post a placeholder on the thread: This prevents others from reviewing something you're in the middle of reading and can save you an awkward situation or two.

2. It's better to address the grammatical errors you find so that the writer can improve. In my case, I didn't know I was supposed to start a new line of dialogue when someone new started talking, and only learned such a thing from a review on Atharen! The point is that the writer might not know they're making an error, and we're all here to improve as writers.

The second point is more optional than the first, mind you. With those kept in mind, you're free to start reviewing at your leisure! Congratulations! Feel free to post that review on Moop's thread, too.

Build to last,
