I'm always happy to review a fanfic from any genre or anime/manga series,
but lately it has become painfully obvious to me that I may need some backup
when reviewing outside of material I am familiar with.  I would like to
build a list of people that are willing to submit ratings and commentary on
'characterization' for the Corner on an occasional basis.  Just send me an
email telling me what anime you are familiar with, and which you would
prefer to comment on, and sometime down the road I'll send you a message
asking if you can read a fanfic and deliver commentary on it.

The only requirement I have is that your commentary be worthwhile.  Anyone
can bust out with ratings on a fanfic, it takes someone with skill to back
up those numbers with thoughtful insight into the story.  As far as spoilers
go, I'll let you decide what does and does not ruin the surprise or the
first-time effect of the story.

There will be a little bumpiness in this system since I will be rating the
other parts of the story.  If the characters are off, but still interesting
and in a well designed story I may well give the story high ratings all over
the place and have a lower score from the submitted characterization rating.
Time will tell if adjustments need to be made.

Thanks.
