Here's a thread that will hopefully make getting reviews or giving reviews much easier and organized. There are two ways you can get reviews here: 1. PMing the volunteerreviewers or 2. posting a link to your story here, where people will go and review it.
This is how each system works.
1. The PM a Volunteer System.
All volunteers are listed here at My blog. If you want a review from one of them please send them a PM with:
A. Your Name.
B. A link to your story that has the label of its name
C. (optional) what specific part of it you want reviewed or helped with.
Rules for this System
1. No Spamming the volunteers! They have been nice enough to offer their humble services, so it would be incredibly impolite (and annoying) for you to spam them!
2. You can only ask for a review of ONE (1) story at a time.
3. If you want them to review a collection, please specify ONE (1) item in the collection to be reviewed.
4. A thread has to be up for TWO (2) days before a reviewer will review it.
If you break these rules we will be less likely to review ANY of your works, so please don't break them. I you continue to spam us (only spamming is affected by this) we will contact a mod and try to get you banned. (It is against Forum rules, right?)
To Reviewers: If at any time you want to be taken off of or added onto the list, please just PM asking this. Also, if anyone breaks these rules please tell me. Thanks.
System 2 (two): Requesting Reviews here
When requesting reviews please follow these guidelines.
1. Give a link to your story or poem with the title of the story/poem as the label.
2. (optional) Specify what you want to be reviewed.
3. If you want a collection reviewed we ask that you specify one (1) story or poem to be reviewed.
Rules:
1. No spamming
2. Threads must go one for at least One (1) day without a review to be suggested here.
3. If you posted here and nobody reviews your story in Two (2) days you can post again.
4. Please request only one rule at a time.
Rating System:
This is an experimental system I thought up. If it doesn't go well I will either try to revise it or take it away completely.
Rating will go along with reviews. This will be done in the same way as the Flash Portal. 0 (worst) to 10 (best) If stories posted on here (only if they are posted on here!) get a certain amount of ratings I will tally up the average. Unlike the Flash Portal however, Ratings MUST coem with reviews. No "Good Works" with a 10 and then no explanation.
The rating system will have a trial period of a week, if it doesn't work out, I will delete.
Thanks, and begin to ask!
