June 23, 200719 yr Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. [hide=Story of the month and year contest info] Here here! I have selected three stories for the story of the month and year. Each story will either be voted by you, or if refused participation, Xewleehr, any [hopefully] employees, and I will. Then, it has to have a good reviewing score to get the title. Of course, one of these stories is mine, I'm the owner of the library, I choose! However, we need preliminaries, where 10 stories in the library will be chosen from you, or if refused participation, me. Then, only the top will survive, half will be cut, depending on the feedback you leave the story. Yes, in order for any vote to be valid, you must read the stories, leave feedback, and vote. More explained later. Then two will be cut, three left. These are the finals. Remember! I'm cutting a deal with you. Go to every story, read them, leave feedback in all of them, this will verify you read them [kinda]. I will also ask you a series of questions of what happened in the story so I know you aren't just leaving feedback and then voting on your story. Also, I anticipate people leaving false feedback, voting, then going to the story for the answers I ask you. Don't go with your first choice (Your auto favorite) unless it is your favorite. But there is always someone better, and thusly, don't choose the one you just read, read the others honestly, leave feedback, then your vote might be negated, depending on if you are true to it, or validated, depending if you are true to it as well. Remember these rules, you will soar.[/hide] [hide=Rules...Gotta have em.] Indeed. A bit of order won't kill anyone, I need these for balance (Obviously). There are two sets: For employee reviewers, or for the general tip.it library forum. So. [hide=Tipiters] So, you are a tipiter. Well, your rules are quite simple. Follow them and you get a cookie. Break them more than three times and I will refuse service to you. : 1) Patience!: Patience is a virtue, as we say. Uphold it, and we will get your review done. If you are impatient, we will refuse service to you. Llamster, keep that in mind. 2) The review policy: This policy will set up a new road that will give me and Xewleehr ease. I declare it this name because, since I have a life, and Xewleehr as well, we shall set up a date for your deadline. This means, we will set up a day where our reviews shall be posted and done, but they must, and if they aren't...I refuse to discuss that. We may also get to post it any day before the deadline date. For you three who are waiting, I will post them at the end of this post. 3) The ban/refusal Policy: Discussion is allowed here, only on stories. Flaming will not be permitted. Any form of bribery for your story to be done will land you in a ban. Any flaming we will refuse service. Last, 4) Finish Policy: When your review is done, Xewleehr or I shall pm you to tell you your review is done. If you don't like your review, that's your problem. These are yours to follow, my fellow tipiters.[/hide] [hide=Employees] Pay attention! You have one mission, and one mission only: Review asap, you have to exploit the weaknesses of a story, find mistakes, GET THE DEADLINE date. :wink: We evaluate based on the following: -Flow of the story (10/10) -grammer and spelling (20/20) -explaining the parts of a story (10/10) -and if is long, the length-flow relationship (If it's short-short chapter, disregard this) (20/20) [if short chapter, tha explaining parts of the story becomes ten more, and so does flow). ALL EVALUATED OUT OF 60! Abide by these rules and we'll get a long fantastically. :D[/hide][/hide] [hide=Urgent Notice Number One] URGENT NOTICE!!! For quite a while now, Xewleehr and I have been quite busy, unable to do any reviewing, partly because I need the help and partly because of me being busy. However, we need more reviewists, and if no one wants to be one, ah well :P But the help is needed badly, as too many people are compiling us with reviews, whereas Xewleehr is busy...With something, whereas I'm on, but would like the weight off of my shoulders once in a while. Sooooooo. We need exactly three reviewists, and I will have a system of assignments...Basically...I'm going to tell you what to review. :-w If you are an excepted reviewist, then I will tell you more later. Here's the last paragraph. Here, I explain no flaming is allowed with any of our employees, however, if you get the due date wrong... Here's an application for applying, short, sweet, to the point. PM when finished: Name: Date: Genre in writing (Sci-fi, fantasy, etc.?): Preffered reviewing Genre: You agree to follow the above rules of conduct, sepcifically designated for you, the reviewer?: Do you agree to follow the review rules? (Explained in rules section as well): Well guys, thanks, have a good day. :D [/hide] [hide=Urgent Notice Number two] Dear reader, I've made a few alterations to the library. No more voting polls, instead, we will all vote on the story of the month and year together. However, this requires plenty of reading in stories. I don't want you to vote for one you read, you must have read the above choices. Then, I will tally the votes up. But this requires participation, and if there is refusal, Xewleehr and I (And hopefully employees) will vote on one. That is all.

June 28, 200719 yr Author Well bluejayfan94, if you want I can review the first couple of chapters of your story...But unfortunatley, you need to post the request that you want the review. :cry: But do that later and I'll give it my all for a review. :D Hoping to get a new Signature (with matching avatar) soon. :D In the meantime...Steam username: )I'll rewrite it later (add me if you want)
June 28, 200719 yr Ok, I request for my story to be reviewed :mrgreen: New Part Added!!!Another Coming Soon!!! Finally :XD: HomerSPC's Lets Plays : : Minecraft, Portal, Halo and more!
June 28, 200719 yr Author Here ya go buddy! Oh wait... To explain how this works. I evaluate based on: -Flow of the story -grammer and spelling -explaining the parts of a story -and if is long, the length-flow relationship (If it's short-short chapter, disregard this). ALL EVALUATED OUT OF 60! I will post this legend/key in the main page soon---Anyway, enjoy your review! REVIEW: Draggneth, Sword of All Dragons Prologue The prologue is short. Short and sweet. 8-) Not only that, but your spelling and grammer is flawless! Excellent. Now to the story. However, I'm a tad bit confused to what time period this story takes place...After all, there is only one barbarian village within the true Gielnor ...So anyway. Every tribe gets along? I'm glad they won't slaughter each other relentlessly any time soon...But I fear the rush came when you skipped from the tribes to the Cities. I wish you could do a Lord of the Rings moment and explain how that came to be. But the end explained where the story was going, and I'm happy with that. Good start, but a teeny tiny bit longer would be great, after your writer's block is cleared. :thumbsup: Okay, moving along... Score: Great Your total score averaged 55/60, but the great mark is excellent. :D Chapter 1.1 - Grarth So far the character name creativity is excellent. But your punctuation needs work (Or maybe it's just your keyboard?) in one area, where you say "Ivorr one of his closest friends" there's no comma's. Don't worry, that's just one point off of your score. Dude, your in awesome shape! However, the grammer and spelling is, again, flawless, so a perfect on that my friend. I love the whole chapter-part thing, despite me not writing like that (I tend to write long chapters like a pro :P ), and it's always good to start short and add fragments along...But the length needs to be increased with all of them, add dialogue maybe between the characters so we can see interaction? Even talking to oneself and a bit of comic relief never hurt either. But I applaud you for taking your time. Now on. I guess it must be a must to have the main character the most popular in stories (Personally, I like the outcast to hero type of thing :P), but it fits! *GASP* Ivorr! Moltar! No! :cry: Oh, now I see why you made him the most popular. Well, that's that chapter. Very good start. Score: AWESOME Needs punctuation fixation, but your total score was 59/60. Other than that, awesomeness. :D Chapter 1.2 - The Vision The beginning is good, punctuation officially perfect, and grammer and spelling is overkill perfect. =D> Truly, I figured because of his popularity he was the strongest, so I'm not sure if that's needed at the beginning. But after that the flow is amazing! If the length were increased, the potential and greatness this story would be praised for...Good job. Even at the second paragraph, it leaves me wondering... =D> Score: FLAWLESS 60/60! GREAT JOB! =D> Needs length, and the whole "He's the strongest" things could be gone, but I refuse to deduct for that! It's excellent! Again, If you gave length to every chapter-part, it would be great. So hurry! Recover from writers block! :D Chapter 1.3 - Strange Happenings I'm sorry to say, your score won't be flawless. :( The name...I'd prefer something else. Strange happenings isn't that great together, you know? How about "Strange Occurences?" Now that's better in my opinion. But it's up to you. Other than that...The blood writing and the swordl is quite creepy, and why is it there? Explanation? That would be good, if you would do so...What I mean is, make a scene which scares the day-lights out of Grarth, then he finds the sword after a crash! But no more to critisize; all is left is to say... PERFECT GRAMMER & SPELLING!!! :thumbsup: Score: Great Average 54/60. Good job. Length! Length! Be like darkforaster, write that amount, and that's perfect for a chapter-part! Dude, this story is good, but it can be amazing! Get out of that damn writers block! FINISH! Total average: 57/60 AWESOME Excellent work so far! And, as Zeke would say, "Thank you for contributing...It seems you have passed the review with an AWESOME mark...Thank you for contributing the first book to our Legends of the Noble knight section! Whenever you add more, just ask for a review--however, beware--your score can drop." That's right, welcome to the section of legends of the noble knight section in our library! Our first story added. Well, good so far, add some more chapter 2's and I'll get to another review! Have a great day! Keep at it! P.S. Check later for rate, which is where we evaluate where you are thus far, don't worry, you'll see what I mean. The section is called "Ratings on your story!" So be sure to check in!

July 1, 200719 yr I'm on it! post it tommorrow though. I'll show you how terrifying a true Christian can be!It's Xewleer: ZEW le ar, got it memorized?Hermit of the Varrock Library and its proud guard.
July 1, 200719 yr mrph3r: Here goes my first Review! Your story is not a great work of literature if you follow a rigorus (I know that's spelled wrong, just my spell check is not working for some reason) guideline. However, there is no rigorus guideling for a known reason. I think I'll be bad cop, Sephy seems to be the good cop... You apparently have a story that involves your personal and cynical experiences in an attempt to satisfy some need you have. I did not LOL or ROFL in the entirety of your story, and that does not bode well. Be thankful that we do not grade on how much the story amuses us. To be encouraging, others received it well and it was nicely written in a plainer style than what some people write. Thus, it was easy to realize what everyone was saying and so on, among the context thingies. So... As to flow: there is none but that's okay because you did not write it to have any. So: I'll give you 3/4ths credit for it. It is a somewhat well spelt and grammatically correct piece of written work. So... I give you in all, a 19 for grammar In explaining it, you quite frankly left it to itself. Which turned out well for you, but is not a good trend to have in many stories. so, in an effort to ensure no one else tries this. 1/2 credit. So, you are given a 47 out of 60, in other words: a good story (thingamajig) Good job! I'll show you how terrifying a true Christian can be!It's Xewleer: ZEW le ar, got it memorized?Hermit of the Varrock Library and its proud guard.
July 2, 200719 yr ohnoes bad cop herted my felings :cry: :cry: :cry: But seriously, I was very interested as to how you would actually review it, since it really isn't a story at all (The first time I posted it on the official forums, I was told to put it in Locations). Thanks. =P NO MERCH - NO PEST CONTROL - NO SOUL WARSLowest combat (only sub-90) on the TIF high scores list
July 2, 200719 yr ??? that is my review... what do you want from me you demanding person!?! Don't make me open a can a whoop-character on your story! I have a phd in kicking other stories... Anyway... I actually have no clue how to review a story like yours. It has no true plot, only a subject, and that is the state of noobishness of Catherby. I cannot review something that is not a story because it is not one. It is merely what you have observed and put in a comedic form, much like 1066 and all that. It is a mere expression of something you liked to write. I cannot judge it like stories because IT IS NOT A STORY BY MOST CONVENTIONAL MEANS!!! important^ I enjoyed reading it as a thing to pass the time in some amusement, which I believe is your main purpose to writing it. If I am mistaken please tell me... Because your story is an odd duck, I cannot figure out how to give it a review. And I am still the bad cop. :P I'll show you how terrifying a true Christian can be!It's Xewleer: ZEW le ar, got it memorized?Hermit of the Varrock Library and its proud guard.
July 2, 200719 yr SEPHY COME BACK!!!!!! WE NEED YOUR GOOD COP REVIEWS!!! lol :pray: :pray: As for my story let Sephy review it as he already knows alot (or somewhat alot) about it, I like how he writes the reviews, and if somethings wrong he'll let you know nicely. Thanks :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Plus I like good cops better. PS- There is a hidden message somewhere in this post. HomerSPC's Lets Plays : : Minecraft, Portal, Halo and more!
