How To Review
Making a review is simple and easy to do, here is basically what you have to do to write a review:
Step 1: Make a SEPARATE page and call it, Review:Title, if someone has already done a review on it, just put a number after review. E.g. Review2:Title.
Step 2: Write the review, this is the format in which you have to do the review:
Title: Self Explanatory
Author: Self Explanatory, if you're having problems finding this, go to the first page, then click history, don't do anything in that page, just check for the author.
Pages: How many pages are in this story. If you problems with this, go to any page in the story, scroll down to the bottom and you should have something saying 'Category: Example'. Just click the word 'Example' or whatever the title is, and it will take you to the index, showing a list of all the pages, you don't have to count them all, it will tell you a number.
Preview *Optional*: A few lines from the story you chose to review. Please don't copy a whole page full, a paragraph at most. Previews must not have any swearing!
Review: Your review must be at least five or six sentences long. When reviewing you look for three things:
- Story (If the story is interesting, and how much they have written in one page)
- Spelling & Grammar (Self Explanatory)
- Choices/Endings (No redlinks. The choices you can make and if these choices impact in the story.)
Your review must talk about those three examples, if they are good or bad in the story, and why. You cannot just simply say "The Story sucked", you have to explain why it sucked. E.g. "Although, I did not find the story to be done very well compared to the amount of choices, since every page was only around three lines".
Score: Out of 10. E.g 7/10
Step 3: Write at the bottom of the page Category: Reviews (with the double brackets surrounding it).
Step 4: Go the reviews page, and under 'Latest Reviews', paste your link at the top of the list, and then write this above the link:
Title: Self Explanatory
Author: Self Explanatory
Pages: Self Explanatory
Reviewed By: Write your username, then the date on which you posted the review.
[Link the review]
Note: If you are having problems with this, don't be afraid to ask around. Or you can ask Me.
Some Rules
- Spamming, flaming or swearing must be never found in your review, otherwise, your page will be removed
- If you want to comment on a review, you must go the discussion tab, and say what you want to say there, though, I suggest you just tell the reviewer on his own discussion page, there should be a higher chance that he will reply.
- Do not remove, edit, or move reviews unless you are allowed, if you want to do this, you will have to ask Me first!
