I shall have you know that if I end up reviewing your prolonged story ("Demigod" is it? I can't quite recall the full title), I shall be most grumpy.
I won't let this affect your score, but I might just decide to decline you halfway through. =O
I do hope, however, that it's a nice read.

You dislike stories of book length, *h?
It's only 185 posts, whereas Prevalence is 300 or so. Calm down.
And hopefully it's not so bad that you grow so disinterested with it.

I really do enjoy stories of standard book length; what I dislike are stories of standard book length with sub-par quality. I trust in your quality of a writer, but I don't know if it's enough to satisfy my rapidly developing critical side.
I would use an "evil" emoticon, but these forums don't offer one.
What I'm most afraid of when reviewing your story, is that I'll let mistakes overwhelm your review, and that it won't be as high-scoring as you would like. Longer stories usually translate into more mistakes, and whilst I appreciate the difficulty of proofreading a thirty thousand word story over a three hundred word story, I cannot say that this much excuses the usage of these mistakes.
Please note that I deduct points for the variation of errors made and not necessarily the repetition. This means that with a longer piece, you have more chances to commit a mistake. I hope that you don't, but having read several professionally edited stories today with errors in them, I am having doubts. I mean nothing personal.

*h, it is rife with typos. It is an unedited, 55k word story. I can't get all of 'em.
But the score's not what I'm interested in. I'm interested in the stylistic comments you might have about what I could do better.
So if I got good advice but a 50% I'd be happy (though I might question the quality of you as a reviewer if it were that low.
