Title [ 3/ 5 ] The title is okay but I thinkyou should change it to a title thaat would suit the story better.

It Was Fate seemed pretty off-topic for the story though it didn't give anything away. Plus, I'm not keen on your capitalization for the title either. The first letter of every word should be in capital letters, excluding 'of', 'as', 'is', etc. Poster and background [ 5/ 5] The poster is alright and I like the background as it gives off the feeling of the story. Description/Foreword [8/ 10] Despite some grammar mistakes in the foreword, I thought the summary you wrote was very interesting and it is enough to make readers want to read and find out more to your story. But next time, please double check for mistakes especially in the foreword part as it is the first thing you readers will read. Also, I'd like to point that your author's note and credits shouldn't be too long. It's best to keep it short and simple. Content and main plot [ 18/ 20] Your main plot interests me as I am a writer too and I could relate to the story. The content is full of meaning and nothing was deemed unnecessary. The humor is quite good too. I like the plot of a writer trying to find her way back into writing and found the real reason she began writing. I also like the end where readers would speculate whether the story was based on the writer's true life. Characterisation [13/ 15] One thing I like about your story is your characterisation. Your characters were lovable and funny and it's hard not to like them. You made them stay in character until the end of the story. But there were moments when Eunsoo's character was undefinable so I had to deduct marks for that. Basic Grammar/Spelling [10/ 15] I thought there was something odd with the phrasing of your sentences. It's like the words you use are either not appropriate for the sentence or it is placed in the wrong position. Let me show you some example. Original: I have been writing stories for 5 years now. Well, not exactly writing for 5 years. Maybe, I haven't been writing anything for the past 2 years. Corrected: I have been writing stories for 5 years now. Well, not exactly 5 years. I haven't written anything for the past two years. You can't copy everything from the previous sentence to the next. Try shortening it so that it doesn't seem repetitive. You should read the sentence you just wrote to check the continuity. Original: Yes, you got it. I got it. I have writer's block. Corrected: Yes, you got it. I have writer's block. In this sentence, you don't have to repeat 'I got it' as it is repetitive. There are a few wrongs in your tenses too but not much. You should reread what you just wrote more than two or three times to minimize your mistakes. But overall, your grammar is quite good and I had little to no problem understanding what you're trying to deliver. Writing style [5/ 10] You only had one chapter that has Eunsoo's point of view while the rest are in the third person's point of view. In my opinion, the first half of the first chapter should be a prologue, kind of like an introduction so that it doesn't mess with the presentation of your story as this looks a bit inconsistent. Don't worry, I didn't overlook the fact that there's one other chapter in Eunsoo's point of view and that's fine as the whole chapter is only in one point of view but this is not encouraged as it points out (as I said before) inconsistency. Also, please add a divider between different time settings so that your readers won't be confused. As for the layout, I'm not quite keen with the paragraphing and spacing either. Please put appropriate spaces between long paragraphs and dialogues so that your story won't look too crowded. I'd like to suggest you explore more on layouts for your story if you decide to use colors. I see a lot of people use that nowadays and i think that if used correctly and properly, the story would be even nicer to read and also pleasing to the eyes. Colors are definitely not wrong but you have to learn how to handle it if you're going to use it. If you have a quote that you want to put at some parts of the story, you might want to try making the spacing and the style (e.g. fonts, size, etc.) a bit different than the rest of the text. You can even try using colors! Flow of the story [7.5/ 10] The story progresses very smoothly. You took your time with every chapter though when I reached to the end of the story, I thought it was quite rushed and it didn't help that you rush the end as well. You could end it with a short scene of them as a couple instead of telling it to the readers but overall everything was fine and I like how the story progresses. Entertainment level [7/ 10] I'd have to say, despite all the errors and your phrasing problem, your story was quite fun to read. I love the main idea of a writer who lost her way. I guess we, at AFF, can all relate to that and it's safe to say that most of us who writes in AFF or anywhere else also have the same reason to write. Bonus [2/ 5]

Overall: 78.5/100
