Yeah, but who want want the responsibility of reviewing every new lemon that the authors wants reviewed? They'd have to be fair, open-minded and have a lot of time on their hands.

Quote:The only reason for the DHZ's popularity would be instant responce about lemon quality; the SoniScale. We should have a reveiw team, to whom Wolfe can forward lemons requesting a reveiw. Later, after a few reveiws, WEolfe could put up some discriptions of reveiw styles.When a new author puts up a straight lemon, I try to give it a review, if I have time. The problem is that most new authors tend to prefer yaoi and furry...not that there's anything wrong with the former (the latter has issues); I just don't want to read it. Someone else would have to review the majority of lemons. "I looked up and saw you; I know that you saw me. We froze but for a moment In empathy."-Rise Against

I review lemons for the 'seediest brothel of digimon porn', and I must say I do an accurate job in doing so, but the fact is the DaD can't handle a review team. Its too nice. Too kind to its authors. So spare yourselves the humility of having a real reviewer critique your works...

We need SOME kind of barometer, though, something to gauge how well we're doing, and if anyone at all likes what we submit. Right now, we're not really getting a lot of feed back, and some constructive criticism would go a long way in helping authors get better at it. At the current rate that work is coming in, it wouldn't be hard to start reviewing them now as they come, but doing the backlog of lemons that are already here...yowza.

I'll do it. I've wanted to become and ediotr anyway, so this place is a good foundations for it. Any one who wants constructive criticism could contact me via email when they send in a lemon. mailr3dsnip3r@yahoo.com
Reviewing backwork is redundant and often irrelevant, considering it is the author's new work is more a prevalent style. I have no bias towards certain lemons (unlike Wisemon), so anyone can send their lemons to me via email (mentioned above) I'm going to warn you that I offer constructive criticism in a harsh, yet subtle manner.

It's not bias it's just some people don't want to read about two guys. Simple as that. But hopefully you'll do a good job reviewing.

A very sencible aproach. Wisemon and I aren't overly "nice". I'm perfectly blunt. Here are some reveiws I wrote, but never postec (I sent them in as comments to the DHZ, but I didn't know you couldn't be negative when commenting.) Herr Mullen Wrote:I just read AGZ's "Jewels On The Water" and "We're Going To Be Friends". Let's review. Jewels was short, and sweet, and so shall the review of it be. The use of metaphor and simile, which seem strangely absent form many other fiction writers, bring this short event to life. Short, but romantic and stylish. If a chap should have a few minutes of boredom to fill, he should read this fiction, and find himself entertained and peaceful when he is done. Friends the first in a series, the coupling of which I am not in agreement with. I do not like incest fictions, but I do like the story leading up to it. However, toward the beginning I thought Tai seemed very out of character; I just watched Series One of Digimon, and by the end of that Tai was no-where near as self-serving as that. What I did love about the masturbation episode, was the reference to " one of the many transdimensional vortexes that occur naturally in a young person's bedroom" because that's just the kind of humour I enjoy. Kari's outburst against June was hilarious in the description of it's impact, but still out of character, like her water fight with Davis. I did like Davis's appearance, mostly due to this comment;" both felt that, somehow, they were meeting in the wrong place and the wrong time, that they were in some way going against an unknown and unspoken rule that governed the universe." What a fantastic humour this fellow has, and what poetic imagination and literary ability he has to put it into practice. If any new writer should be wanting to see how writing should be done, have a gander at this fiction. What I did not like was that, though punctuation, grammar, and spelling were correct for the rest of it, he insisted in placing thoughts and stresses in between asterisks. Asterisks are not for writing, they are for maths; they are the proper symbol for multiplication. Overall, a very amusing and fun affair.
