General FP Question

Can we round everyone up and send mass emails to the FP Support crew? I'm getting rather pissy about not being able to see my traffic, and I'm sure others feel the same way. I think if we flooded them with emails we might have a better chance of them a) responding, and/or b) fixing the problem. :3

@Glitches

Is this a problem for everyone? I think I can see my traffic... I click on the page and it shows the data. Or is it incomplete?

I dunno if mine is accurate, but I do have traffic for August.

Seriously? Well then, it appears not everyone is being plagued with this. There are still a number of us out there, though, so perhaps I'll just track them down one-by-one and organize some email flodding. I don't have any traffic for the entire month of August, which is a horrible lie because I've been receiving plenty of reviews. So, yeah. Not impressed.

I will send an email, Gecko!

Thanks, Sheriff! I'll be sending them daily emails. If you know anyone else who's having problems with their traffic, please ask them to send some emails as well. :D

Review Marathon

@simpleplan13 - I saw on your entry list that you PMed one author when you didn't put a RM tag in the review. Am I able to do this, as I forgot to add it to the review several times?

Review Marathon

If I remember correctly, you are allowed to do this, and your reviews will be seen as legit, if:

you PM them before the RM is over, and

you make a note next to the link that you PMed the author as you forgot to mention in the review

Though it's probably best to wait for what Mini has to say, as I'm rusty.

Yes, you can PM the author as long as it is before the RM ends and you mention it in your RM post so the examinators know. I went the rules and I do not think we mentioned that in them. I'm going to add this... unless there are any objections?

Thanks, guys. No objections from me. :P

Writing Challenge Contest

Another question, because I'm certain I remember it being in the rules, but my tired brain has failed to find it. Before registration and submission is closed in the WCC, I can still edit my entry, correct?

Yep

Okie, so should I just post what I sent via PM so you can read over it?

Yes! Post away! I am here

Sorry about the incomplete review earlier, here is how it SHOULD have looked: I found a couple of errors that I thought I'd point out: "through the Victorian as" I understood that you meant Victorian house, but I'm not sure if leaving the word house out is correct... but I may be wrong. "WELCOME HOME' matt." only one T in mat. "Teagan poured the candies into his brothers hand" should be "brother's hand" I believe since it's a possessive noun. But I enjoyed it so far, good dialog, only I thought it was a little hard to follow off and on when you kept separating it by action, but that could just be me. I thought it was great that instead of just telling that there was an accent you showed us with words like "'eel". I would have liked to see a bit more description as well on the surroundings and maybe the boys as well. It would be nice to know if they are identical twins or fraternal. I couldn't get any sort of visual image in my head aside from what I could imagine to be devilish grins from them. I also really liked the relationship you've made between them so far, and the simple way you explain the situation through their casual conversation. It's easy to see the tense relationship between them and the adoptive parent, and how at ease they feel with one another. Looking forward to see where you go with it, especially with the 'horror' genre. So anyway, please let me know if this was better, and if it qualifies. :)

Alrighty, so....

SPELLING/GRAMMAR

DIALOGUE

But I enjoyed it so far, good dialog, only I thought it was a little hard to follow off and on when you kept separating it by action, but that could just be me. I thought it was great that instead of just telling that there was an accent you showed us with words like "'eel".

CHARACTERS/SETTING DESCRIPTION

I would have liked to see a bit more description as well on the surroundings and maybe the boys as well. It would be nice to know if they are identical twins or fraternal. I couldn't get any sort of visual image in my head aside from what I could imagine to be devilish grins from them.

RELATIONSHIPS

I also really liked the relationship you've made between them so far, and the simple way you explain the situation through their casual conversation. It's easy to see the tense relationship between them and the adoptive parent, and how at ease they feel with one another. Looking forward to see where you go with it, especially with the 'horror' genre.

So, yes, XD, I think we're good with passing. Go ahead and post your request in Depth and also that you reviewed Those Hands. Yay!

Also, if you want something that isn't as confusing, go check out Easy-Fix, it's usually what new people dive into first just to get the feel for things.

Yeah, this make-up review looks all right to me, as well. :D)

yay! thanks for the second eyes Gecko!

No worries. Four eyes are better than two... or something. Ha-ha.

@NEW OT

Maybe we should create a time-line? If the mod A hasn't made an OT within two days for example, the next mod on the list, Mod B, makes it, and Mod A's turn is skipped?

Frac, you know you're gonna be making a bunch of OTs. xD

But should this be put to vote, I vote, "Yes." This is a good plan.

I think 2 days from when the old OT closes is a good time lapse. But would Mod A's turn be skipped or postponed? That's what confused me last time when I thought my turn was skipped you had me do the next OT.

Skipped. Easier to remember the order that way

But should this be put to vote, I vote, "Yes." This is a good plan.

I second this.

Yep, sounds good.

Awesomesauce.

So we skip Lime now, and I'll go make it.

Usually a new rule wouldn't have retroactive effect, but everyone's been complaining and the OTs aren't that big a deal, sooo...

@WCC Problem

Dee wants to forfeit. I feel like I should allow it, since it feels unfair to force her to be able to win if she doesn't want to.

On the other hand there arent any rules about this so I just wanna see what the general consencus is first before I do anything..

Forfeits allowed, yes or no?

Forfeits = allowed in PJ's book. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Me neither, for what its worth. (It forces the outcome rather than having it democratically decided, but that's of secondary importance to the author's wishes, I think. You should be able to pull out at any stage. It'd just be listed as AuthorA winning because Dee bowed out, rather than whoever wins, wins. lol, does Author A get the option of backing out too in that case? will it be a race?? Sorry, i shouldn't be posting this late at night.)

It should be Web's decision, I think. While it's great Dee has forfeited, it can also be double-sided in making the winner feel like it wasn't deserved.
