Topic: The Review Game: Poems - Easy Fix

This is the place to come if you want reviews for a poem, and the review type is "easy fix", aka a simple review.

For Review Game rules and some fun facts, go to "Read this first!".

---

Moving on, this is the basic structure of the Review Game:

Person 1 says: Review "My Lucky Dream"!

Person 2 says: Ok, I reviewed "My Lucky Dream", ch 2. So can the next person please review "Stereotypes" or "Window"?

Person 3 says: Done (I did "Window" chapter 4), so can the next person review "Stranger"? Thanks.

This means the first one to post here doesn't have to review another person. Aka, first to come gets a freebie. So, hurry!

---

For Poem Easy Fix, your review needs to fulfill these requirements, otherwise you will not be seen as someone who has fulfilled their obligation and you can thus not participate.

REVIEW REQUIREMENTS:

You need to state one thing you liked and *why*, and one thing you didn't like/could be improved, and *why*. Giving more feedback is not prohibited, but giving less than this is. Flaming is also prohibited. Being constructive is not.

If you absolutely can only find good or less good things to say, then please state two things you liked and *why*, or two things you didn't like and *why*. The review will be seen as invalid otherwise.

Restating the same thing does not count as a why. "I really enjoyed the piece because I thought it was very enjoyable" does not count as a why. "I really enjoyed the piece. It was enjoyable because the subject was relateable" does count as a why.

Phrases like "no mistakes" or "good job" do not count as a like. If you cannot find a dislike then write another distinct like do not say "there are no mistakes." That will not count. Saying "good job" or other similar phrases will not count as a like on a piece either. It is not specific.

Here are templates to ensure your review clearly fulfills the qualifications, you can use any of them if you choose, but they are not required:

1) I liked... because.... I disliked... because...

2) I liked... because... I liked... because...

3)I disliked... because... I disliked... because...

If you are still unsure on how the review requirement for Easy Fix is viewed, look at this post for guidance.

I reviewed "Hang the Memories Up My Wall".

I know my concrit sounded a little strong, but I'd rather get a review telling me what to do better next time than something like "omg!!!11 that's so good/bad i loved/hated it!!!11"

why did you love/hate it?

Trust me, you are not bad.

Could someone review Little Vampires (http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2478980/1/) for me?

Or if you know, cutting really isn't your thing, I'll See You Again (http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2477668/1/) would be nice.

:)

Cheers,

Rachel.

I've reviewed the last poem of "A Hard Holiday". Appropriately titled.

since "leave/stay/wander?" is sadly unloved, i'd appreciate if someone could review that one- or "new age (saint) valentine".

thanks so much!

@doctor's diagnosis : if you and the person above you reviewed the same thing, you should follow Rule 10 in the Read This First! topic. It deals with this issue.

So, by following that, ilovetheopera should do a make-up review to writingxonxwalls , while the next participant reviews you.

Story to review: Boy or Addictions by doctor's diagnosis

Yes, you did your make-up review, so all is good. Now,next time you post in a RG that is not about that you are playing, put it like I do, in an off topic place, and then state who is up for reviewing. Yeah, that's actually a rule :P (the last rule, I believe)

-- END OF OFF TOPIC --

It's either Boy or Addictions by doctor's diagnosis
