Who participated in the thread?: Dark Delights
Number of Posts?: 15
Full Rubric Judgment?: No

Feedback Rewards: (Post Length of Thread/10) * ((EXP Needed to Level)*0.05) EXP

Critique Guidelines:

1) Standard rules for etiquette apply. No spamming or off-topic posts, no personal attacks or trolling. Focus on critiquing the thread, not the writer. Use constructive criticism and try to speak in terms of "strengths" and "weaknesses". For example: "Your story was strong, but the action seemed a little weak. Try using more adverbs to describe actions or use a thesaurus to spice up your word choice."

2) Likewise, those who have asked for a workshop should take criticism gracefully. Use it to better yourself. These are not intended to offend or belittle, only show you opportunities to grow.

3) If at any point you notice improper conduct, contact an administrator immediately. Bullying of any kind will not be tolerated. Arguing will also be regulated heavily. Polite, constructive debate is permitted within reason.

4) In order to receive EXP for your feedback, a critique must be helpful, elaborate, and considerate. It is suggested that the review be at least 3 paragraphs and focus on strengths, weaknesses, and overall content. You may use the Althanas Rubric as a guide.

5) Those that leave an exceptionally detailed review with plenty of constructive advice may be eligible for double rewards. This will be up to the judge's discretion. The authors of the thread may request the additional reward be given if they found a review to be particularly helpful. The request must still be approved.

On a personal note, I will be adding my own review to this thread as soon as practicable.

You can just bury this. It was a half-baked first attempt anyways and I'm already on to another piece of writing I'm invested in that I think is a better showcase of my work. If full written judgements are still suspended by the time I'm finished with it, I'll submit it for a workshop instead. Thank you so much, and I hope I didn't waste anyone's time!

Any helpful criticism is still welcome, in the form of suggestions on how to score better in threads!

Hi DarkDelights

Just confirming you want this closed.
Your last comment sounds like you would want it open, just not full commentary.

Ok, no problem. I'll close this.

If you still want my feedback, I'd be happy to give you something over PM. :)

By the way, we auto-score workshops at 65 and "basics" (non-feedback) at 55, which means you get more rewards for a workshop than a basic. This has technically reverted to a basic, but I won't change the rewards on this occasion. This is just more for your information going forwards. :)
