Hello all!
This is the latest game that the Workshop Moderators have concocted for you, inspired by a thread Gotpika posted last year and he has given us permission to use it. The Review Game is fairly simple: User A requests for Chapter One of Story 1 to be reviewed. User B will then review it, post a link to his review and he can then request for Story 2 Prologue to be reviewed. User C can come along and review it and request his own fic, though he has to be quick, as User D wants to get Story 4 reviewed as well. It is a continuous game where you request for a story to be reviewed, someone reviews it and they make their own request and so on and so forth, but to clarify, it is only one person requesting a review at a time: in order to have your turn, you must fulfill the most recent review request and then make your own.
There are a few extra rules you must be aware of before playing:
- Reviews must be at least one paragraph or four full sentences long, original comments (not something you have posted before), be as constructive as possible, and try to comment on more than just technical errors. If you're having trouble, here are a Few Reminders about Reviewing.
- You can request a review for as many chapters as you wish, including the whole story. However, if your whole story or the total of your requested chapters is over 10,000 words, you must provide a shorter alternative. You can have multiple requests for different stories at once, but only one of them must be fulfilled. You may also request a review for a story that is not your own as long as it has not been requested in the game before.
- You must link to both your review of the last story and to the story/stories you want reviewed.
- You must wait three turns before making another request to give the rest of the forum a chance to read and review. If the game has stalled for 30 days, then this rule can be ignored.
- If, after 30 days, a review request is still outstanding, one of the moderator team will review to move the game on.
- If you do not receive a timely response, do not publicly solicit your post. If you're concerned, feel free to contact @Beth Pavell.
If you violate any of these rules, your post will be deleted. Repeat offenders may be banned from the thread at the discretion of the moderators.
The point of this thread is to encourage everyone to get into the spirit of reviewing and to experience new stories you may not have read before. Any story from the forums can be included, so this is open to everybody! Reviews don’t have to be long essays detailing an entire story, just simple things that will help the author and help you build your skills.
Now it is time to play! @Beth Pavell is in charge here, I am just laying down the rules, so bring your concerns to him but feel free to ask any moderators for help should you need it!
