Writing Style: It is my belief that I was born into the wrong generation as a writer, for I belong in the realm of the Old English authors. Meaning my writing tends to be Gothic and descriptive, relying more on the appearances and enviorment than the emotions. Originality is very important to me, in my eyes if you don't have anything new to say, then you should remain silent. It is, after all, a virtue.

Review Policy: Feedback can be a large part of writing. Writers who do not receive it fail to grow and remain stuck in childish and adolescent wring. Therefore, I expect a review, negative or positive, if you read one of my stories. I also hold the same belief of originality. Meaning I do not accept reviews that simply tell me to update, I expect other writers to have something worthwhile to say about what I have created. In return you may expect my respect and my reciprocation of the favor.
