The Fanfic Reviewer Organisation – Review Topic.

It's back at last! As I said in the General Topic, it's better than ever! This thread is the Review Topic - this is where the Raters will hang out, where the Reviews will be claimed by certain raters and where the Reviews themselves will appear.

The seven reviewers for the FFRO this time will be:

mr_pikachu
Darktyranitar
Gavin Luper
Mistysakura
Dragonfree (who will be reviewing one-shots and short stories only)
Bulbasaur4
Weasel Overlord

What does belong here:

* Reviews by the raters.
* Questions about the rating process.

What doesn't belong here (belongs in the General Topic):

* Requests to have your fic reviewed.
* General questions about the FFRO.
* General comments, complaints, talk, etc.

Rating Chart (criteria for fic-rating):

-Plot (/20 points): Is the plot entertaining or captivating? Does it twist and turn, keep you guessing, and so on? How sustained is the plot … and how well does it work together?

-Plot Originality (/10 points): How original the plot and plot twists are. Is the fic a brand new concept, or something that has been rehashed so many times it’s redundant? Are we completely shocked at what happens and left in suspense, or do we foresee everything from chapter one?

-Writing Style (/20 points): The writer’s choice of words, use of description, dialogue, layout and so on. Does the story flow well or does it seem stop-start all the time? Above all, is it easy to read (not easy as in basic, but well written)?

-Spelling and Grammar (/10 points): How good the writer is with standard writing, spelling and grammar.

-Characters (/15 points): What are the characters? Are they realistic, good, emotional? Can we relate to them?

-Settings (/15 points): What is the world the story is set in like? Is it well explained, different and interesting?

-Overall Apreciation (/10 points): Overall, the big question – is it any good? Why/why not?

Final Result: /100 = % (as a percentage).

Closing advice: General closing comments about the fic, and, in your opinion, the writer could improve their fic. Be critical but fair.
