Welcome one and all to this… thing. Challenge, game, something to pass the time, could all replace the word ‘thing’ I guess. Choose your pick.

So I’m just going to get right down to explaining this. This is to try and get some good constructive reviews for everyone on Booksie. The basics is that you review someone’s piece and then someone else reviews yours.

This is how it works:

The first person asks for a review on one of their pieces.
The second person then gives the first person a constructive review. They can then ask for one of their piece’s to be reviewed.
The third person then gives the second person a constructive review and then asks for one of their piece’s to be reviewed. This is all done in the comments below.

And on it goes.

Let’s give an example:

First person: Could someone please review ___.

Second person: I have reviewed____ could someone please review-----.

Third person: I’ve reviewed ------ could someone review …….

Hopefully you get the gist.

You have to review the exact person’s before you, not the one that was two or three above, only the one right before you. So using the example; the third person can’t review the first, they have to review the second. The next person to be reviewed will be whoever is the last comment on the page (please remember to press the 'Load more' button.)

It has to be a new review. So if someone asks for something to be reviewed and you reviewed it awhile ago, then it does not count. You have to give the review, after they’ve asked for it.

You can only ask for one piece to be reviewed at a time, and if it is a novel, only one chapter. You can specify a chapter but if no particular chapter is mentioned then let’s presume it means the first. If you have a story or poem or the like in two or more parts, you can only ask for one part to be reviewed. It's works on the same idea of a novel.

You can do it as many times as you like, there’s no limit to how many reviews you can give. The more the merrier really.

You can ask for someone to review anything; stories, poems, scripts, articles, novels, absolutely anything.

To get rid of confusion, when you mention a piece please state the whole title, instead of shortening it.

Now the review has to be constructive. A constructive review is not ‘I liked it. Keep it up.’ You need to state some particular things (more than one preferably, as much as you can) you liked about it and WHY. Also state some things that you didn’t like and WHY. Please do not state something you didn't like and not explain why, because they will not know how and why something needs a bit of work. And if you can, mention some things that could be done to improve it.

Some points that you could comment on:

Plot
Character’s
Dialogue
Writing styles
Grammar/ spelling- paragraphs, tense, commas, etc.
Opening/ middle/ end
Anything else

If you feel that you have been unfairly reviewed; so the person hasn’t been helpful and said very little, then tell me either on here or on my page (preferably my page) and I’ll take a look and see if it is unfair or not. If I the review isn't fair then the reviewer won't be able to have their piece reviewed. However if the chain has continued, then the reviewer should be obliged to return and give a constructive review. If they don't, then I'll give you a review to make up for it. However, they will be banned from the chain until they give a constructive review (and I will make a list to make sure everyone knows who is banned if needed). If I don’t judge it as unfair then things will just continue as per normal.
Please don't be afraid to say you've been reviewed unfairly, I want you to get the best review and something like 'I loved it, cool characters, keep writing' isn't a constructive review. Even if the chain has continued on please still say something to me. Howver if the chain has continued please don't ask for the next person to give you a review because then there will be a person being skipped. Please just tell me and I'll make sure you get a good one.

If there’s a mix up or anything, like you’re skipped or something, please say. You can say so here but I'd prefer if you tell me on my page. Regardless of where you tell me, I'll most likely comment on your page. I try to pick up all mistakes but I cannot promise to get them every time, and if you don’t say anything, then I don’t know.

I’m hoping all this makes sense. If anything is confusing or any questions then please ask. Even if you think it’s a stupid question, it’s probably the one that everyone’s thinking. You can ask here or on my page, either one.

Well I think I’ve had said everything I need to say.

Just a few reminders (so if you didn’t read anything else, at least read this):
•YOU HAVE TO REVIEW THE EXACT PERSON BEFORE YOU TO BE ABLE TO ASK FOR A REVIEW!!
You have to give the review before you ask for one. Do not say that you're going to review it, review it first.
•Make sure you’re review is constructive
•You can only ask for one piece to be reviewed at a time (1 chapter= 1 piece)
•Tell me if you haven't been fairly reviewed

Enjoy, good luck, and get reviewing!

Please give the review before you ask for one. Don't say that you will review it, you must already have reviewed it before you post here. Honestly this gets on my nerves more than anything else, and I'm not cutting anyone slack about it.

Please tell me if you don't think you've gotten a fair review. 'This is a great story, I loved it kmu' isn't a fair review, so if you get anthing like that, tell me, please. Please don't be afraid to say something to me, because I want you to and I will make sure something is done about it.
