Midsummer Knights is going to get updated again?

Wheeee! ^0^ *Runs into a wall*

...

I'm okay, honest. Seriously, that fic is the most under-appreciated one in this section. Well, with the possible exception of TurtleKing's anyway. Besides, I think it could use a review from someone who is capable of maintaining a more should I say professional approach to it? I can't put my finger on any particular reason, but reading that fic just awakens the fanboy inside me, which makes making proper in-depth comments a challenge. x3

It's not nearly as long a read as it looks like either.

Anyways, yeah, plagiarism bites. T_T Hanako is already on the case, though, I see. ^^

And...I enjoyed (re-)reading the reviewing guide. One thing, though: about the 'rating' reviews. I've seen a fair bit of cases where all the 'reviewer' says is something like:

Scary review example #1 said:
Plot 7/10
Characters 8/10

I like the fanfic keep writing.

or

Scary review example #2 said:
9/10 *Filler**Filler**Filler**Filler*

I think we can all agree that these aren't really useful reviews by any stretch of imagination. I mean, number scales...sure, if you actually have some kind of criteria for the different ratings and motivate each number with properly detailed feedback, but I've seen a number of people give nothing but a number and possibly a few generic comments like in the first quote. Maybe emphasize that just a number isn't really a review? Okay, that's sort of covered in the shortie, but still...

That's the only thing I was missing there, really. :3

Skii, there ain't a point asking for a review now you're in the revision bin. Only evaluators are able to post there as well as the authors... They'll get to you.
 
...you and a number of others. Seriously, was the whole "read before posting here" sticky really not ringing any bells? Read before posting, honestly. -.-

Anyways, as an evaluator I'll get to your fic eventually, but before I do, I'll start by saying this: slow down. Seriously, give us reviewer folks time to catch up and review. Going beyond one chapter per week really isn't recommended even if you have them written and ready for copy-paste; posting multiple ones in a day is completely insane. Besides, your fic got binned for a reason, you know, I'd strongly suggest waiting for evaluator feedback before rushing onto more chapters and repeating the mistakes you've already made while writing the previous ones in the process. :\
 
Or grammar... Or both...

For a start, take time before posting chapters, read over them and make sure they are grammatically correct by looking up a guide or two...

That's what I did and I wasn't arrested for fraud.

I can wait a few days for another chpater anyay as I will plan and get ideas for it.

Also, I only did that next chapter becuase I was half way through before I was binned.
