Review Mega List
Here is my mega-list of reviews over a variety of websites, and of a variety of qualities – I like to focus on the amount I’ve grown since I started writing one-paragraph reviews on livejournal. Apologies if any of the credits on this page are wrong: many were written from memory mixed with google, as I didn’t have programs for all. They’re sorted by year and then in alphabetical order; you know how to use crtl+f.
