Review League

A small announcement!

After some discussion, the team has decided to clarify the wording of one of the Review League rules. "Speedy Review" points are conferred to any review of a recently updated fic, whether or not the review pertains to the most recent update. Previously, this rule was ambiguous, as some reviewers found it intuitive that only reviews of new content would be eligible for this bonus. The new wording is as follows:
  • For speedy reviews done within 48 hours of a fic being released or updated, you will receive 2 extra points. Reviews need not pertain to the latest update.
  • For speedy reviews done within 24 hours of a fic being released or updated, you will receive 4 extra points. Reviews need not pertain to the latest update.
We hope this will encourage more reviews of longer fics that would otherwise not benefit nearly as much from the speedy review incentive!

also, you can mark one of those hh reviews i requested as fulfilled. thanky
 
Apologies for the delay; I set a reminder alarm to take care of this, ignored it while I was busy with something, then promptly forgot entirely that this is a thing. :p

@canisaries I couldn't quite figure out specifically where the three chapters were referenced (apart from 54 basically getting "no comment") so I'll count that as 1 point. Other than that, your points add up!

Same to you, @unrepentantAuthor Scoreboard updated.

Man, I gotta review more

Anyways, first time cashing in points, woo! Request is gonna be kind of long, so I'll put it in a spoiler, but its a character sketch prize.

Digital drawing (or scanned in, at the very least) of what is essentially a simplifed version of "Steamboat Willie", the old disney cartoon. Yknow, this guy:
126765

The sketch just needs to be a simplified version of this guy. No super defining features like the eyes or buttons on the pants, jut the general mouse shape with the hat and clothes. I was thinking just like a blank face, like you see in the backgrounds of cartoons and anime. A neutral pose is requested, along the lines of his hand/circle/paw thingies on his hips and him looking happily past the frame. As for the last detail, if at all possible make the whole image fit in a perfectly square border. This is technically for card art, so square would work the best. If it's too much for the points I currently, have, just let me know!
 
I'm basically giving up on logging all of them, but I at least want to log a few things of old.

I'll start with these four. They're all for the one-shot competition and I had dropped them... a long time ago, so if the logging time expired, I understand. But until then...

The Chemist of Grandbell
+2 base
One-shot +1
250+ words +1

Hey Hey What Can I Do
+2 base
One-shot +1
250+ Words +1

To See You Smile
+2 base
One-shot +1
250+ Words +1

Hope You're Proud
+2 base
One-shot +1

So that's a total of +15

And if the competition bonus is still in effect, an additional +16 on top of that.

My grand total used to be 170 and my lifetime total (including points that had been spent) is 240. I'll edit this post once I know how much I earned from these and hopefully I'll remember to post the rest next week.

Edit: I got the clear, so my new grand total is 201
Lifetime total is 271

@kintsugi @namohysip @canisaries you all check out fine, I've updated your totals.

@ogDG welcome to the League! You're missing a few points there, bud. Each chapter commented on is +1 points, the Secret Santa is worth 10 points, and I'm gonna toss in a point for wordcount on that review with 240w, since it barely falls short. Your actual total is 23 points, and I've added you to the scoreboard. Nice work.
