Invincible Summer

Content: 36/40

Um...let me see. Well, I read all of the entries I read all the way through (no skimming), so that is a good start to the review, right? Today's entry, the zit one, was disgusting. Bleh. I didn't need to read about that. Haha, the rest of your entries were far less zit-y, and I enjoyed them far more. I could identify, agree, or think a lot about the things you wrote about, and on several entries, I couldn't decide whether or not my comments warranted a comment to you for it. But I figured, the review is enough to get my comments across. I'm trying to figure out though, how this design matches your writing, because I obviously found the writing interesting even though you are a stranger to me. You got LOTS for Christmas! Wow.
Anyway, I think your entries are very well written, simply because you remember lots of details from things you write about, and that is far more interesting to me than hearing a half-remembered story for an entry. Nice job!

Literary style/Grammar: 8/10

Grammar, punctuation: yes. Literary style, I would say you're good because the entries are all unique from one another, and quite unique from other diaries I review. You're frank and interesting and, yes that's all I have to say.

Layout: 11/15

I'm trying to figure out the point of the "spring/summer/autumn" links... oooh, they're prev/next links? The colors are bright and summery, hence the name of the design: "invincible summer." The navigation is a little funny with some links in parentheses and some not, and why is that stopfcc.com thing not on a links page? It seems out of place. Colors all look good, design has big font (to me, as I am a size 1 or 2 font person). Why are there more links on the bottom?? Good good though, I like the design because of how...summery it feels :)

Ethereality: 10/15

Hm...this is a difficult one for me. I like the font at the top of the entries, so there's some points for that. Individuality, eh? Hm...I like how you call him Boy. I like your copyright at the bottom. I would say those are enough original things for some pointage.

Will I return? 2/5

Theoretically, probably not, just because I don't feel like I know you that well from your entries.

Total: 82/100 --- B
