Hi there, I need people who will read and review other people’s stories. So, if someone wants their story read, they can write it on this thread, and I will tag every giver from the list in PM to let them know this is the story we will be reading AND giving feedback on. if you want to join this group, come on, what are you waiting for?! We will judge based on 1-3 episodes or however many a member chooses to review. Is this a full detailed review? Well, the thing is, you don’t need to provide so much feedback if you’re a giver, you can just write a fan-mail saying what you loved and perhaps give them one short point on how they can improve. That’s all. Any contribution matters. I also want to point out that this is something that should be fun. It will be one story during each time period where we all get all our final thoughts in. Also, if you’re not available, it’s fine or if you don’t want to read a specific story, you have a right not to do so. Just let me know privately, if you’d like, or you can mention it in Our Givers PM, whatever swings your boat. The great part of the givers club is it’s totally up to you whenever you want to review! A low stress club. Join today! We’re always looking to expand our family and I want everyone to have a great time helping out, it’s all appreciated

Description: A dreamy trip to Paris for the holidays seems like the perfect getaway, except for one small detail. Or two, if you count the southern boy you can’t seem to stay away from.

Our Review(s) for the story Soul Searching by @camie.writes
Nessya's Review
Overall:
The characterization of the characters was well done.
A kind of slow-burn romance, I like those, how you are taking time to have Olivia trust Zac but had in dept with both bringing skeletons to the relationship. Good use of zooms, good display of the relationship between Olivia and her father. I liked how you made clear to us that she feels lost but wants to find her way.
Some pointers:
I noticed some characters scaling up leaving the scene, more noticeable on the scene where Olivia is about to leave NY and refuses to talk with her ex. The use of Default outfits and randomized characters usually isn’t noticeable but in the beach scene, there were several redheads while panning across the beach.
I felt like the characters didn’t move much in the first episodes.
In the beach scene, as they are close, they go over each other, like Zac’s finger behind Olivia’s head, or Olivia’s head covering Zac’s face.
Okay thank you so much for reading and taking the time to write a review! I really appreciate your feedback and I’ll definitely work on your feedback @nessya
I’d love a review if you’re still doing them here are my story details:

Nessya's Review
Overall:
I like the use of zooms. They gave the impression of the rush to settle everything in two weeks like we were in Ariana’s shoes.
It was a funny twist, the mix of Paris in France with Paris in Texas.
The whole friendly atmosphere and the maturity with which Mason and Ariana handled their first encounter is well done. Even when it was for the sake of winning the competition.
All these, while still keeping the rivalry.
Some things I noticed:
When Leana starts to speak, it may be better to let the zoom finish before she does, as the speechbubble skidded in front of the two characters.
In that same scene, Leana stays at the end of talk_apathetic. And as I am slightly faster reading, my MC was still doing talk_shrug when Leana started talking.
In episode two, at the reception, the documents are in the layer above the MC.
In the over-the-shoulder scene, the MC is bigger than she should since she is standing farther away from the screen.
Loose means not tight is often confused with Lose that means to be defeated.
