May 2021 Madness Round

Madness will happen on this post and in its comments. Thanks for playing!

Getting concrit - Requesting Now Closed
Ask for concrit by replying to this post (until the end of May 31 - NOW PAST). Anyone's welcome, whether or not you just took part in the April round. If you did sign up, you're welcome to ask for concrit on the same or different pieces, or ask for responses to more specific or different questions or the same ones. Concrit is not guaranteed.

Please include:
  • How you want to receive feedback - ie, by reply to your own comment, by posting a review where the work is published (AO3, ff.net, LJ...), or by another means. (Note: comments are not screened on this post, so if you post a contact detail, anyone can see it.)
  • Any specific questions you want concrit-givers to focus on, and what level of bluntness you prefer, if relevant
  • Which works you want feedback on, and if any of your works are "safe" or should be skipped over.
  • What fandoms and content, roughly, your works contain - especially if asking for feedback on just a few pieces.


You can comment asking for concrit until the end of May 31 - NOW PAST in your time zone.

It's okay to be more specific about the kind of concrit you want in Madness than in a normal round. You might not get anything, but feel free to ask.

Please feel free to leave constructive criticism for those who have requested it in comments!



General feedback


If you have thoughts on this community's events or the April 2021 round, please leave your thoughts on the previous post, which is a feedback post.

If you are willing to provide feedback on the feedback you get - "Yes, this was what I was looking for / I was surprised you focused on this aspect / Actually, that wasn't quite what I was asking / etc" - consider saying so. Please be constructive in these replies as well.

If you don't want any more concrit, reply to your own comment to say so.

Oooh, more feedback? Yes, please!

For the madness round, I'm asking for your general first impressions on the titles, tags, and summaries of any of these works. If you just scrolled through the page and shared e.g. would you click? what kind of story would you expect to find within?, I'd find that extremely helpful! The works are mostly Genshin Impact, Eyeshield 21, and Original Work, and most warnings are related to consent issues (though the summaries should be quite PG).  

Full feedback on any work is of course always appreciated. Since the concrit period, I've posted three new works, so I'm especially interested in hearing about these, but I'd be happy to receive feedback on anything at the above link.Please leave feedback directly at the work on AO3, or as a response to this comment. Please be as blunt as you like!

I'm not familiar with either of your fandoms, but your summaries strike me as succinct and fun! I especially liked the first one, with its combination of fun and menace. I also applaud your commitment to the slavefic motion :D

Same with the titles: they're sharp, to the point, convey the mood well, and flow well. I'm fond of the wordplay in Hypocritic Oath, but I also like the title/summary combo in Half Sunk, A Shattered Visage Lies, and the menacing, possessive underlay in Lightbringer Mine.
