Reviews
Good stories concealed in excessive wordiness.
Loloreads
Some good stories in here, on unusual subjects, but obscured by excessive verbiage. I constantly found my focus drifting while waiting for anything that progressed the plot, and eventually, I had to skim read some of the stories online on Project Gutenberg to find out what actually happened.
