Yeah! 25 minutes to go and I got my partial and nonconstructive reviews in! Procrastination!

I can tell you now it will take me up to 30 mins to post everything, only then will I PM the winners and losers. |

In the future rounds, let's not say we submitted reviews or didn't. Everyone who reviewed so far used a distinctive style in going about doing so, and we know which few people submitted reviews -- so it seems a little obvious who didn't review which round, and therefore who wrote what story.
But we'll avoid that next time.
That said -- I'm actually a little disappointed in how few reviews there are. Maybe with six stories instead of twelve we'll get more. 'Cause. Just. Meh. If you expect people to read your stuff and review it, do the same back.

Yeah, I'm disappointed with the review turnout. On the flip side, I can never be disappointed personally because I know it takes time and people are busy. But still.
And yeah... Pete's gonna stick out like a sore thumb at the end of this (I got him right! Well done, me). And me.
WHICH IS TAKING -FOREVER-.

I hate Dragon for the order he chose to release these in.
It's 3:34 with no Charlotte. Asshole.

You got love those conflicting views throughout the reviews:
Scarborough - Ending was great / I think the ending was rushed.
Charlotte - I loved this story / Not bad, nothing special.
Alexander - Didn't spot a single mistake / Here's some mistakes
Every single year, without fail, this happens. When its your own story, it's funny. But as a reviewer for other people, I get quite frustrated.

But as a reviewer for other people, I get quite frustrated. I mean, that's how it works. Some people find Tolkien to be very dry. Some find it to be a work of immense depth and wonder. That's just sort of how the cookie crumbles. I never expect reviews to agree -- it's the objective stuff, like "no mistakes here" where another reviewer caught five that make me doubt the legitimacy of any given review. But I do hope to see better, and more, reviewing for the next round. Six stories is way easier to handle. Six, typically, -better than the first round- stories. |
