Hm, this could develop into something fairly interesting (I read the other topic posted, and I liked the idea of a "Story of the day" that everyone would pamper. Assuming the number of members grows that is ^^)

Here's my info

Penname: Fractured Illusion

Gender: Female

Favorite Genres: Mystery (not the who-killed-who type), Philoshopical, The Human Mind

Favorite Story of your own: Of a World Without Wonder

You are here why again: To participate

Sorry for making up the genres a bit, but at least I was honest. As this forum is fairly new (thus making the absence of other people not at all shocking) how many members should be part of before the Story of the Day can come?

*curious*

Count me in for as long as I have the free time!

#2 Jul 15th 2007, 7:41am . Edited Jul 16th 2007, 10:45am

hmmm, how long till the Story of the Day? i'm not sure, possibly after at least 5 people join? i dunno, what do you think?

#3 Jul 15th 2007, 10:36am

Good idea, boss ^^; Until then, we just...chill?

#4 Jul 15th 2007, 10:49am

ha ha, guess so. i'm gonna go see if i can find some ppl who like this idea, then maybe we can get Story of the Day up faster. :) oh, and dude, thanks so much for joining, i was afraid no one would like the idea, i've not had luck with making forums before.

#5 Jul 15th 2007, 2:48pm

Good idea, From the Earthen Ground (FtEG)! Sounds cool, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to review the stories of everyone who joins ... especially since I'm awfully busy editing my complete story and working on my other five. And college in two months ... if you guys are patient enough, though, I might join!

#6 Jul 15th 2007, 7:54pm

Ah! Serom you saw my pimping!

Well, about your worries I think that by extending the deadline it could help a lot. We'll just need to figure out *how* long once we're all filled in. (And if a tad too long; maybe we could have two stories in that bunch?)

*full of ideas*

#7 Jul 16th 2007, 3:10am

All right, just as long as you guys are flexible enough to bear with me ... I barely got on this website when I was busy during high school! College is going to be a whole other nightmare!

Penname: Serom Kim

Name: N/A

Age: high school graduate

Location: N/A

Occupation: Student

Favorite Genre: General (ordinary group stuck in not-so-ordinary situation through a bizarre string of events)

#8 Jul 16th 2007, 9:37am . Edited Jul 30th 2007, 9:50am

I feel your pain. It's hard to find time when there is school, a problem most users share.

Does anyone know how we can pimp this place (so we'll gain members and try this place out)?

#9 Jul 16th 2007, 9:47am

My friend, Whit5000, if I can get ahold of him ... I could talk him into joining!

#10 Jul 16th 2007, 10:14am

Awesome. I'll try to grab a hold of people too, though I am fairly new so I don't know too many. Worth a try though! Let's not give up! *marches off to make members grow*

derisive snort

penname: Derisive snort

favourite genres: general I guess, assuming were talking about fictionp ress stories, I'm not too picky.

YOu are here why again?: To review under-reviewed authors! *salutes*

I leave the other parts blank cuz I'm mysterious like that.

SO, is there a story of the *insert time period here*?

#12 Jul 16th 2007, 11:46pm

I actually wanted to join when I first saw it, but I was busy having to do a few things, like rewritting my profile, and a new story, etc...

Penname: concerto49 (wanted concerto, but might have been used - just in case, 4 and 9 are supposedly lucky numbers, though I haven't proven it)

Name: concerto (since you said vague)

Location: La La Land (I like saying that one)

Occupation: Student of the century

Favorite genres: doesn't exist - I like stories and how it's done, and not the genre.

Favorite story of my own: Would you like to find out for yourself?

Why am I here: I'm not. Sorry, I've been talking like that. I'm here to share feeling and experiences.

You are here why again: On recommendation, to review underreviewed writers (I know how much that sucks) and get some suggestions on my WIP.

So thanks, Fractured, for pointing me in this direction.

#14 Jul 17th 2007, 10:25am

hey all! omg, i'm gone for two days and we get 4 more members! sorry i was gone, celebrating my sister's b'day (we went and watched the fifth Harry Potter movie!)

urgh, and now my sister's watching Freaky Factor, and i just happened to turn around and saw them passing cockroaches through their mouths--and now they're eating them!! urgh..sorry, getting off topic (i have a mortal and unexplained fear of cockroaches).

#20 Jul 21st 2007, 9:14pm

Heya. Welcome (Note I stopped saying hi, hi because I used it too much for a while - that's creativity)

I'll go take a look at awake now, that's if I can stay awake. It's cool here, perhaps you'd like to look at the other threads, e.g. we've mostly been in the one that says needs little help or something as we're trying to sort something out.

Anyhow enjoy. Though I shouldn't be the one saying it, but it'll do.

#21 Jul 21st 2007, 9:32pm

Nice to meetcha, Kayla and Whit. What Concerto said, see you on the other thread! Teehee, I rhymed! I'm also very childish about now, so you can ignore me. Except for the hi part.

#22 Jul 22nd 2007, 11:17am

Hey, concerto, whenever you get here, you should know that it's your duty this week to find us a story of the week! Look at the Story of the Week forum for more information!

#23 Jul 22nd 2007, 11:34am

Hey, sorry for the delay here, but welcome to the Review Revolution! Man, props to Serom for recruiting you and props to you, too, Whit for joining!

#24 Jul 22nd 2007, 3:29pm

Hey, summerbee! It's great to see more people joining, and I'm sure you'll be a wonderful addition to the Review Revolution!

#25 Jul 22nd 2007, 3:30pm

Alrighty everyone! The "Story of the Week" has started! Please check out the thread with that name to know which stories to read! And also:

Welcome, everyone! Please feel free to be yourselves! :P (I know I do!)

#26 Jul 23rd 2007, 2:06pm

welcome Whit and summer, to the Revolution! so glad you guys have joined, like Fractured said, Story of the Week is up, and Concerto has already picked, so check that out. also, there's a new topic, "Our Members (a list)" where everyone is listed with when your turn is to pick Story of the Week, and what genre you'll have to pick from. any complaints can be voiced there.

You are here why again: well, okay... i'm not new to fictionpress, but i've never really been active on this site. so this community thing confuses me a lot... but anyway, this seemed like a really cool idea and i love reviewing and reviews and i think this in itself is turning into a story so i'll stop now.

hi =)

#28 Jul 26th 2007, 8:04am

Hello there Ali! Welcome!

Settle in and feel like home (yes you may even put up your feet on the table! :O Gasp!) If you have read the rules and other sticky topics and still don't understand much, feel free to ask in the topics! We're all more than helpful! ^^

#30 Jul 26th 2007, 9:35am

Hi DPK! :D Welcome, welcome! (wow, two new members in such a short time span! *impressed*) I hope you'll enjoy your stay as well! Any questions, just ask around! We're a bunch of friendly authors here! ^^

alirider827

thank you! i'm glad i can put my feet on the table =) i think i understand how this work- really cool idea again. i'll start reading and commenting soon... i'm trying to finish harry potter 7 first. xD

#32 Jul 26th 2007, 11:05am

I'll say hi to everyone too. Been annoyed by people earlier, so don't know what to say. Anyhow enjoy.

#33 Jul 26th 2007, 4:57pm

I'll say hi to everyone too. Been annoyed by people earlier, so don't know what to say. Anyhow enjoy.

Eh.... -.-

You're just spreading the love aren't ya? :P

Don't worry peeps don't be afraid of concerto. He be a "moody" artist

#34 Jul 27th 2007, 12:15am

Eh? I wonder. I'm someone that dares to say what I like, and guess that's how I'm able to review. I've seen many reviewers refrain to say some things about an author and hence the review gets vague and all. Anyhow, okay, I'll say hi again. Until then...

#35 Jul 27th 2007, 12:53am

*red code alert, red code alert!*

I just wish to remind everyone, that the Story of the Week this week is ending soon and beginning anew on Monday. Those who have not reviewed, run as fast as you might to the stories! For more information, check out the "Story of the Week" sticky and click the links on my first post!

#37 Jul 28th 2007, 3:08am . Edited Jul 30th 2007, 1:25pm

Hiya! I'm Blysse, or, as Fractured calls me, Blyssie. I'm the crazy one in the group. You'll find I mean that quite literally if you read any of my stories (which you will, in fact, do when it's my [coming up soon] turn at Story of the Week).

I think I speak for all of us when I say, Muffin! Er...I mean, welcome to the Review Revolution! It's great to see another member. Oh, and be sure to bribe/guilt/blackmail all of your friends into joining, too! Again, welcome and please enjoy your stay!

-Blysse

#38 Jul 28th 2007, 3:13am

hi, hi. Ha, you sound like me - too many. Yeah, if I don't like a story, I wouldn't write it.

This does sound like fun. *Says hi to cat* Welcome and find yourself at home. Visit the other bits around. We've been chatting a bit too much.

#39 Jul 28th 2007, 3:13am

Actually Fractured calls you DB most of the time, referencing Dragon Ball. Goku anyone? (note this was my personal comment and does not involve Fractured. So if they are any confusions then keep being confused).

Eh? I don't know about blakmailing and all. We're meant to be the good lot. At least, don't say that in the open.

#40 Jul 28th 2007, 3:15am

tabiscus

Awww, thanks for the welcome guys! *big foolish grin* i was already reading up on the other stuff...it's really great though that you guys are all serious about it and all, and if you're talking too much (which i dont think so, cause in my opinion i talk way too much anyway) then, oh well, at least it's on the subject. Er, I also messed up on my introduction-thingey. For favs I thought you meant for other stories...but, for my own it's Birds of a Feather. Silly me.

#41 Jul 28th 2007, 3:17am

No worries. Yeah it's your own story. Though we do say a lot, and it does get off topic. That's why we had a random topic just for that. Yet, here I am doing it again. It's more like a habit.

I've seen someone turn an RP with their friends into a story, perhaps we could make use of this too. Enjoy.

#42 Jul 28th 2007, 3:20am

God, I used to watch Dragon Ball when I was little. O.o But Blyssie's more fun than "DB." Though DB makes me feel like a secret agent...

#43 Jul 28th 2007, 3:21am

Yeah same, I used to watch it. It brings back memories. Seems like you like being secretive...

#44 Jul 28th 2007, 3:26am

Me, secretive? Nah, not really. I'm more of a joker, myself. As I fully displayed in my wonderful welcome speech just a few moments ago. XD

#45 Jul 28th 2007, 3:32am

*notices A LOT of forum alerts for the Introduction thread*

Thinks: OMG sooo many new members!! :O

sees: Blyssie and concon chatting -.-''

*smacks them both*

And yes concerto! I hereby name you concon!! HA!

And welcome tab!! You are GERMAN! I love germans! Please stick around (and for goodness sake! Act german! :3)

*will compete with Blyssie for title of being the crazy one*

#46 Jul 28th 2007, 8:43am

AJ, Cat, LittleGirl! (LG?) Nice to meet you all, sorry I haven't said hi yet. I'm Kat or Freaky. Fortunately, our two CKats spell it differently, so since we're not communicating out loud, it shouldn't be too hard to tell us apart. So many new members, it's so happiful to see you all! I'm bouncy in the mornings, don't mind me.

And the mornings are usually when I'm on!

#47 Jul 28th 2007, 8:52am

Freaky! I need to give you a less-than-obvious-but-still-there nickname (I have a disorder. It's called...err... MustNicknamePeoplePhrenia! Yup...

Soo... I name thee... Fran! FReakythANthou. See? Totally there. Wow, I am already lovin' the Fran!

#48 Jul 28th 2007, 8:56am

Fran? Oh, well. I have MustNicknamePeoplePhrenia, too. I call my friend Quark. She calls me Squid. Anyway, with that over, I shalt callth the... Phil! FracturedILLusion. Fill, or, more commonly spelt, Phil!
