User blog:Leopardclawxx/A Message About the P:C from your Leader

Please, listen.

I think recently, P:C has got confused. I'm going to breifly explain the difference between Reviews and Critiques.

Reviews are usually for stories you're writing to see how you're doing, or ones you don't want a big critique on. To review, you just read the story, have a glance through it and give it a simple rating and comment. Example:


 * I give this story an 8! I loved it, but the grammar needs a bit of work. Remember capitals after full stops!

Like so. Not a big critique, doesn't take long.

A Critique, however is bigger, usually for finished stories that you want a proper review on, not just a sentence. For a critique you analyse the story, you write about the plot and the characters and the imagery. It has to be at least two paragraphs, according to the guidelines in the box at the top. I also bothered taking the time to write a big help guide for people who are stuck on how to critique. In the guide is a guide to critiquing stories and fanfic and has a sample fanfic that you can practise your critiquing on.

Now, I would like it if there was some more activity on the project please. I made two new senior warriors upon my leadership, and I haven't seen either of them edit. Me and Shadeh are flat out working our arses off to try and run this project, and we need your help. Even if it's just putting up stories frequently, or giving reviews and critiques now and again, the project cannot function properly without other users. And if activity doesn't pick up, as it hasn't done in a long time, I might consider shutting the project down, seeing as it'll seem no-one wants it. So please, do your bit.

Well? Yes, I'll try and be a lot more active I'll try and be a bit more active I'm going to join the project You're wasting your time, give up now
