Requirements & Requests
To give honest, constructive feedback. I love this idea, as most with their novels, but I've never been the best with writing, and I am an autistic writer, so I struggle with telling instead of showing a lot as I think very literally and struggle with emotion in my writing. So honesty concerning that is important to me.

Trigger Warnings:
