Hello fellow Figment member! I recently entered the Kiss Writing Contest (or better known as the Patterson Contest), and I was wondering if you would be willing to give me feedback on my story Loving Shards.
Now, I know that the majority of us don’t particularly like it when people spam our walls asking for heart swaps. However, this is no way a heart swap; I would prefer feedback on this and would greatly appreciate any feedback you have to give me (though hearts/reactions are greatly appreciated :D)
Please keep in mind that I may not be able to leave a comment/review on your story; I’m posting this same post onto almost 11,000 different people here on Figment. However, I can provide you with services. I can either make you a cover, teach you how to make covers, or leave you with a full-blown review (after the contest is complete). You’ll have to join the groups I’m in to get these services =/
So, without further ado: could you leave me some feedback on my story Loving Shards (and heart/react to it if you want to)? Just click the cover below to get to the story. Thank you for taking the time to read this long post!

Hello beauty. :) Could you spare 3 mins to read my story "Vengeance is Never Sweet"? It would be absolutely awesome if you could give me a free read. If you want to swap, I'm all for that too. Just let me know on my wall.
Stay lovely and have a great day!

Hello there, sorry for intruding on your space, but I was wondering if you would be so kind as to read my story, It's Not Okay. It's only a two minute read. If you don't do free reads, no worries, just post a swap on my profile and I will read yours as well. Thanks!
