Nighmare Reviews- About the Slayers

I am the Lord of Nightmares, the source of all Chaos. I am the guide of this site. Welcome.

When it comes to reviewing fanfiction, I will not refuse to review. I will review yaoi, yuri, lemon, and any paring. I will not be biased on what kind of fanfiction it is. I will be an impartial judge of fanfiction.

What I will and will not read? Well, one of the few things I will not read
is yaoi or yuri. I can deal with implied but not all out extreme. I can deal
with lime and lemon. Strong language is fine as long as you're not cursing in
every single sentence. Other than that anything goes!

Will Review. Romance/ couples, Waffy (even though I would get sick from
reading it). :D Dark, angsty, (the more the better!, am I playing my
character too much?). Comedy (its a must, for a series with this much
comedy, I'll thought there would be more out there, unless I'm too dense to
find it funny). Songfics, Epic works (all those chapters after chapters
after chapters) Elseworld (not in Slayers universe, some of these are
great). Lime is okay, same sex relationships are okay (I don't go looking
for them, but its okay).

Won't Review. Lemons/PWP.

Well, I'll read practically anything as long as it's not yuri or yaoi. I can live with Lemons, but I prefer to avoid some of the intense ones. I am a big Zel/Lina and Xelloss/Filia fan, but I'll also read Xelloss/Lina, Valgavv/Lina and maybe a few Val/Filia fics. I love long stories, song fics, and continuing fanfics. So in short I don't care how long it is, I'll love reading it.

Oh dear... I'll read anything. I do mean _anything_ *L* When my brain is in
a masochistic mood, I'll voluntarily read even the few things that
completely squick me, and enjoy it. My friend says it's my Mazoku nature
acting up ^^; When I'm not in a masochistic mood, though, I'll read..ooh..
lime, lemon, no sex atall, adventure, action, humor, parody...
Basically--you find it, I'll read it. And maybe have read it before ^^;

I would love to review works that are Zel/Lina, Lina/Xelloss, Lina/Val, Lina/Original Character, Zel/Xel as long as the bias of the fanfic is NOT any of the Canon Couples. Oh, any works that pair Lina with anyone (besides Gourry, and Philionel ^^;;;) I would look forward to seeing. Works that are just plain funny, angsty or is simply Slayers where no one is paired with anyone, I would love to read them, too!

I especially will *never* review or even read works that are: Gourry/Lina, Zel/Amelia, Xelloss/Amelia, Xelloss/Filia (not really canon but still one pairing I can't stand), Filia/Val and fanfics that have either Filia and Amelia as the "star" of the story. Fanfics that have Original characters are the "star" of the story and pair them up with any of the Slayers Cast in particular Zelgadiss or Xellos are works I refuse to review or if I do review them, please expect me to be very critical. Self-insertion fanfics are one I will not review, I've had a bad experience with those kinds of fanfics and I have become woefully biased against them.

Slayers fanfiction for me revolves around the "Main" slayers cast. In fact, if I was going to be total Slayers Purist, I won't say the main star will always have to be Lina. ^^; She is the center of the Slayers story anyway...but I will read works that have Zel, Xelloss, Sylphiel, Gourry and others of the Slayers Cast (aside from the pair mentioned above: AKA Filia and Amelia) as stars of the story.

I will review: Almost any Odd-Couple fic (songfic, saga-esque, etc) Yes, even Yuri fics. Yaoi have to be well written. Relationships in the fic have to have a solid basis (Any relationship save Canon)I like humor, I like romances, and the long story types that really grab me.

I will NOT review: Canon couplings, Xel/Filia, self-insertion fics, badly written fiction and fics that have miserable grammar. I also hate OOC-ness (unless there is a reason for it in the story - say insanity or possession), and I won't go for PWP. Anyone who masks a fic as Odd-Couple but makes it Canon in the end (e.g. someone who starts it Xelloss-Lina but ends it Gourry-Lina) will get a lazer breath from me. Swearwords are fine, but don't use them every other sentence!

Stuff I will not do: Hmmm... Pretty much only PWPs. I can't deal with those, I seriously skip to the end. ^^;; Since there is nothing wrong with homosexual relationships, I don't find anything wrong with them at all. Love is love, and at the risk of sounding sappy, the plumbing doesn't matter. I don't even mind when you write me out of character: I can be a bit annoying at times. And fics that are blatantly mean to a group of people, be they gays, Lina/Zel lovers, Lina/Gourry lovers, blacks, anything. I won't read pure hate.

I won't review lemon, as the only computer I have access to is someone else's and she said I can't read stuff like that if I wanna use it (she's so unreasonable). I may or may not review yaoi or yuri, but I would really prefer not to if I can at all avoid it, so I only will if it needs just one more review to get posted. As for pairings, I normally would say I wouldn't review Lina/Zel, but as I got a weird flash of inspiration and wrote one myself, I guess I can't say that anymore, so I'll read about any pairing. Other than those, I don't really care what I review. I will be impartial
and fair and probably very strange in my reviews, but I'll try to stay honest with y'all. ^-^

Okay, I WILL NOT under ANY circumstances review: Yaoi, yuri, lemon, or lime stories (including even implied). Also, I won't read anything with excessive swearing, or risque things (sex, etc.).

What I WILL review: Just about anything else. Try not to be too overly predictable, I like a good surprise.

I am willing to read most of anything. I will not, however, will not read Yaoi/Yuri Lemon or lime fics. I don't want to read about same sex couples "doing it." I also won't read hard core Lemon fics. I will read Xellos/Filia, Zel/Lina, Zel/Sylphiel, Zel/Filia, Filia/Val, Val/Lina, Lina/Gourry, Lina/Xellos, and Sylphiel/Gourry. I will not read Amelia/Zel, Amelia/Xellos, and Amelia/Val. Don't even try to get me to read anything with Amelia as the leading character in the story because I will be violently ill. I will, however, read fics that include the princess and occassionally give her a spot in the limelight, but don't make it too bright for too long. Please don't make me review Slayers poetry. Adventure, comedy, crossovers, parodies, dark fics, depressing/angsty fics, romance, silly or outrageous fics, song fics, elseworld, long fics, yaoi/yuri (I'm not looking for it, but I'll read them if I have too), OOC (but realize I'll be very critical with these), and just about anything else. I will read fics where the main character is not always Lina. So the leading character can be Xellos, Zel, Val, Filia, Gourry, etc. (remember, no Amelia).
