Submit Your Manga Review to AAW

AAW is looking for a few good, well-read fans to stock our new manga review section, and maybe you can help.

Guidelines: Although we appreciate all the input we get, submissions using this form will be held to a reasonably strict standard of quality, which you can probably get an idea of by looking at some of the anime reader reviews. If you've got enough to say, your review will probably be selected and published as the (or one of the) Reader Reviews for the title, and you'll be given proper credit. If and when an "official" review is written, your review will remain as an alternate opinion.

Also, if there is an anime adaptation and you've seen it, at least a quick mention of how it stacks up to the manga version would be appreciated. This is Akemi's Anime World, after all.

Disclaimer: Submissions that are selected may be slightly edited for grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and will be chosen by the whims of the editorial staff; if yours isn't selected, please don't take offense--it's really not personal. Posting may also take a while, so please be patient. All that said, if you're up for it, get writing--we're anxious to see what you've got to say!

Formatting Tips

Typing your review in a text editor like Microsoft Word is a very good idea, since you can save it as you go and check your spelling, but "curly quotes" don't work well on the web; please turn them off if you can, to save us having to manually replace them.
Lots of paragraph breaks make writing easier to read; to make a break just leave a blank line. Please don't do indenting, though.
Text will be automatically processed with EtText; because of this, if you want to include bold or italic text, do so by writing it like this: **bold** or __italic__ .
If you prefer writing your own HTML, you're welcome to, but we'll probably edit it to match our formatting guidelines.
