@de mon ame

Sorry, but you won't get any reviews. You GIVE reviews to GET reviews on this forum. I can't stress this enough. And also, you need to state what piece you reviewed. You did not state and you did not review. Thus you are not going to get any reviews yourself. Reading the rules only gives you benefits, because only then can you actually get reviews. I suggest reading them.

-SOMEWHAT OFF TOPIC-

I'm trying to review Robbertomo Jerome Straightpen, I Am Radiance, but due to its epic length, I've only done one chapter. May I "reserve" a spot in the game? If not, please delete my message, Frac. I'm sorry for spamming.

@BeautyLiesInLovexx - sorry, but you cannot be counted as a participant for the following reasons:

1) you only gave one review. In this Multi RG, several chapter reviews are required

2) it was to the wrong person

3) current one is Dexterity, and she needs to specifcy what story and how many chapters she wants reviewed (and I allowed her time to do so)

4) your review did not meet the review requirements mentioned in the first post of this topic.

I see this is your first time here. I suggest trying out Easy Fix first. It's, well, easier to do it right and fulfill the review requirements. Don't forget to read the rules, and check who is the actual person to review (or you won't get a review)

Dexterity is up. We are waiting for her to make a post and clarify what story to review and with how many chapters

Now, Robbertomo, be nice to the newbie.

Kino, I suggest you read the rules in the Read This First Topic, as well as on the first post of every topic you wish to participate in. The Review Game is about giving reviews first, then receiving them in turn. If you wish to participate here at the RG, please abide by our rules.

--END OFF TOPIC--

Kyllorac is up with 2 chapters of ARCE.

*slaps Robbertomo*

Always state who is next! Making fun of someone while not making things clear is not helpful and won't make newbies learn (however amusing it may be).

Now, Kino, RG Multi is no charity. Read the rules or you won't benefit. You want a review, you give a review. You want three, you give three. Easy as that. I even link to the rules in the first post. This negligence is just shameful since it was so easy to not get into this situation. If anything, you've only attracted negative attention onto yourself and your story. :/

Edit: Ah, thanks Sparkles :)

Idid three chapters of Did not Recognize (Chapters 7-9)

Can someone pretty please do three chapters of 'The Awakening?' You can do the first three chapters (skipping the prologue - but you can read it if you want) or you can do the last three chapters (I'd prefer that since they're the most exciting and I need more reviews on those three.)

groovi, to play in Multi your story needs to have at least 4 chapters unless mods gave you permission to do otherwise. You were given no such permission. Thus you are not next.

Three of I Am Radiance. Again, start at 4 or 7, please.

Four chapters of Fortune's Fate, please

I reviewed four of Orange, 'cause I didn't know if I should do that or three. Recommendation for people; Orange is a twisted story about twisted individuals in a twisted world. Read it if you enjoyed Pulp Fiction, the work of Harris in the Hannibal Lecter series of books, or the gonzo style of literature and journalism. Dark and somewhat filthy, but definitely worth a read - if only to remind people of the lightness of the rest of the world.

Can someone review chapters of MechKnight, please? I have four chapters up, but three of them are over 4000 words. Does than mean I get 4 chapters or three? I dunno.

@Morohtar

"Orange" was up for review on page 1. We are now on page 2. The current player is B.J. Winters with four (4) chapters of "Fortune's Fate". This is a newbie mistake, so if you wish to be the next player, please review the current player.

Morohtar

Blast! And I'm normally so good about making sure I am on the right page! Anyway, it was a good story.

And so is Fortune's Fate, which I have now reviewed four chapters of. So that makes me the next player; MechKnight, please - there are four chapters, but three of them are over 4000 words, so I guess that means it's just three?

Okay, Morohtar. I'm in the process of reviewing chapters 2-4 of MechKnight, and I reviewed the second chapter, but then I discovered that chapter three was the same! Could you please put up the missing chapter so I can finish all three reviews?

Morohtar is up with MechKnight, which I'm currently trying to review.

-OFF TOPIC-

Narc, I apologise - I made a number of changes to the chapters last night, and re-uploaded the whole story - but I uploaded chapter THREE into chapter TWO's space! This explains why (when you reviewed chapter two) the opening made NO SENSE!

I am VERY sorry.

I have now uploaded the chapter two (which you have not read) into the correct space. Please take another look at it, I am VERY sorry indeed. I must have slipped while uploading chapters.

Three chapters of The Temple Well, please.

--- OFF TOPIC ---

(Am I doing this right?)

Nope.

First things first: you need at least 4 chapters of your multi-chap before participating, Rule 16 (and also blatantly stated in the first post of this topic). Your story only has three chapters. Only reason you could play with such a number would be if the moderators gave you permission (but then you'd have to ask BEFORE playing). Since I am a mod, and I have given you no such permission (and the other mod would surely tell me if she gave you) you have fault on this ground.

Further, this is DEPTH. Depth review requirements, and they are blatantly stated in the first post of this topic. Your reviews did not meet them by far!, FOUR areas in total are needed per review. And 2 sentences per area in the least.

Because you seem new to this, I grant you permission to play again and give Narc true depth reviews, but only for this one time. Otherwise, normal RG may be good.

Narc is up with Roanoke (3 ch)

Forgive me. I read the rules a week ago and forgot a lot of the finer details.

I was planning on posting another chapter later today. (Actually, I just did.) I didn't think it would be fitting to join the "story" game if I wasn't writing a short story and another chapter was due soon.

I also have some issue with the "four areas" critique. Many of those areas, such as 'characters' are areas that I would not feel comfortable critiquing unless I read at least ten chapters, not only three or four. In addition, the strict format of the expected critiques reminds me of a classroom assignment. I comment when I see a problem or have something to say. Anything else would be filler.

In addition, the author seemed to have a good grasp on the craft, so there was very little I could say without simply imparting an invasive bias. It's his story, his characters, and his style, not mine--I would only feel comfortable telling him what to do with them to a certain degree.

I will continue to play the game (according to your rules), but I will wait until a different story comes up that actually REQUIRES a heavy critique, so that I will not have to BS in order to follow the rules.
