i dbt reallly like this since im not very good but i love to write and this seems to wet my my fire when i have to do all of this....
What exactly is it that you don't like about the system? It's designed to stop the same people always recieving critiques and nobody else and to ensure that every piece of work on here is critiqued. Its not fair of anyone to expect members to critique your work if you can't even be bothered to take a look at theirs.
The system is also designed to teach you to read with a critical eye. It is an essential skill for any writer.
Cogito is right. The skills you develop critiquing other people's works can be applied to your own, thus improving your writing.
This is a really good rule. I try to review those who manage to catch my interest and who are not getting that many reviews. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to read other people's reviews, story snippets, and then give my own reviews. I'm not yet good at it, since I've never reviewed original work before (except my friends), but I'll do my best. We shall see if I ever am able to post anything of my own for reviewing, though.
Uhm... I tried to post a review but... it didn't work. X[ Is that suppose to happen...? And yes, I tried to post in the general fiction area. :[ Helping hints?
You did successfully post one review, although a little more detail would be helpful. For example, say what you did or did not like about the piece you reviewed, and perhaps suggest what might have made the writing better. You will need to post at leat one more review before you may post something of your own for review; but first, why not introduce yourself in Newm Member Introductions. You might even get some helpful information about the site.
i havn't found any bugs or errors so far but i havn't been on for very long. I think that your review system is actually quite good and clever Becky
Excellent! This is a stupendous idea! It allows writers/reviwers to: 1. Encourages other writers to improve on their pieces of work 2. Learn something new (Vocab, facts etc) 3. Learn from each other A splended idea! I am by your side Daniel!
People, this is a very old thread. The Review Room upgrade took place a year and a half ago. Now go forth with constructive reviews!
