| Subject: Guidelines for Submitting Works, Giving Reviews, and Asking for Reviews Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:22 pm | |
| These are some basic guidelines and rules.
Submitting Works:
Include in your subject the title of your work and a rating (if over G). Include a warning for your work in the actual body (before the work) if there is any. Warnings would include language, description of sex, and anything else you would consider possibly offensive.
Asking for Reviews:
If you want a review, please put in your post "R&R". I know this means "Read and Review" and only would apply to Literature, but it's better than just having "R" for "Review" in your topic as this might lead to some believe it is an R rated work. If you ask for a review and someone gives you a review you don't like, don't whine and complain about it. If it's slanderous or isn't constructive criticism, then get a mod/admin; we'll go from there.
Giving Reviews:
As a reviewer for a person's work, one must bring forth the good and bad in a work. Granted, there are some works that are really horrible and don't have anything good about them. This is where the term constructive criticism comes into place. Constructive criticism is where you bring up the faults and may even say how that ruins or takes away from the story, but it also means that you need to tell them what they need to do to fix it. Just saying the work is a piece of crap and never bringing up how to fix what you perceive is an awful work will be considered inappropriate and will be removed. Finally, if you don't like a particular type of work and are biased to that before hand, don't listen to it or, if you do listen to it, don't leave a review. It'll save some annoyance and will make you look better. | |
