10 Free Rep Points

JennaGlatzer · Apr 7, 2005

...to anyone who posts a critique of anything on the Share Your Work board today.

(If you post a critique and I forget to rep you, tell me. I'll try to keep up.

)

I'd like to encourage people to give feedback to their fellow writers.

How about on the Screenwriter's page posting forum?

paprikapink · Apr 7, 2005

I'll take 'em! Especially cuz I was planning to do that today anyway. Today after I sleep and wake up, I mean. Not now while I'm all bleary.

If I post in fifteen different threads, do I get 150 rep points?

Free Red Shoes!

What's a rep point? Insider joke? Why am I always out of the main scene? How about anyone posting once in my thread 'Queen' get a free ride with me to watch the bridge across the Taag in Lissabon? And anyone hitting my 'Red Shoes' NOW gets 2 free rides!

[You know what? Some Virus has eaten up my 'Easy Upload FTP program'! I can't load up this 'bridge pic! So, go with Jenna and later come get your Red Shoe point, ok?]

Queen = http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10189
Red Shoes = http://users.skynet.be/spier/redshoes.htm

Jenna Smile, I'll post there for free! Just because you asked me! What's that song 'Slave for you la la'? Give us a link, we all'll go there. So get red for a lot of handout points (whatever they mean).

Share Your Work forum

is here: http://absolutewrite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=26

Ah, yes, Opti, I forgot that the Screenwriting forum now has its own "share your work"-type section. Sure, that counts, too.

JennaGlatzer · Apr 7, 2005

Aspier: Rep points are described in the FAQ link on top, but in short...

Members can give other members rep points for helpful/funny/smart posts, and take away points if they feel a member was rude/spamming/unhelpful.

You give/take points by clicking the scales next to a post. There, you can either "approve" or "disapprove" and leave a comment if you like.

You see those green boxes below people's names? You get another box every time you've accumulated 100 rep points.

Click the link marked "User CP" above to read any rep comments people may have left for you.

Jenna, what a great idea. And thank you.

(but I think you give out more than 10 now... I think it's probably close to 15? I wouldn't know since I haven't been rep'ed by you for a while now... *hint hint*)

MadScientistMatt · Apr 7, 2005

Ok, I'll bite. I hope that my comments may be helpful too.

First time I've done any critiquing like this.

JAlpha · Apr 7, 2005

Jenna,

I've posted a checklist to help with the fiction crits, but I wondered how I can keep it at the top of the line-up so it can be viewed and hopefully utilized without sliding down in the line-up?

Not sure what a sticky thread is, or how to create one, but would that be the solution?. I think having a common set of crafting points to reference will help keep the Share Your Work thread more active.

Poppy · Apr 7, 2005

Hey Janet, a moderator (Ray/maestrowork is the mod for SYW forum) has the ability to make your topic 'stick'.

three seven · Apr 7, 2005

What about people who post work in SYW?

<ahem>

rhymegirl · Apr 7, 2005

I critiqued a couple of people's stories today, Jenna.

Susie · Apr 7, 2005

Hi, Jenna & all,

I critiqued bjewel's cute story. I'll do others too. Thanks much for announcing that about the rep points.

Warm regards, Susie

Birol · Apr 7, 2005

SYW's been busy today. Now I see why.

zizban · Apr 7, 2005

How does one get a unique title under their names?

MacAllister · Apr 7, 2005

One goes into one's user CP (tool bar at the top, far left button) and sets one's own.

zizban · Apr 7, 2005

Thank ye!

JAlpha · Apr 7, 2005

Are we good or what!

Jenna,

As of 11:56 pm 4/7/05, there are no Share Your Work posts with 0 replies on the first two pages :Clap:

.

There are still a couple of 0 post replies on pages 3 & 4, but I think overall your

AW critters came through for you :TheWave:

Hey it's not like you had to bribe us or anything!

William Haskins · Apr 7, 2005

there's a great deal of critiquing that goes on in "poetry" as well. i say this not to grovel for rep points for myself or on behalf of anyone else.

i really just want to guilt more people into visiting that section of the site.

i hope it works and you all feel unclean and small until you go there and post a poem. everybody's got a least one.

reph · Apr 8, 2005

Deadline?

I started a critique at about 11 p.m. local time and finished it a bit after midnight. Does that count?

JennaGlatzer · Apr 8, 2005

Yes.

And William, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm going to finish my repping rounds... post here if I left anyone out.

In my best (worst) Maurice Chevalier imitiation:

One really bad poem, coming up!

Maryn · Apr 8, 2005

I don't know about anybody else, but I felt unqualified to critique Share-Your-Work too far outside my own area. Would I know a good poem or fantasy if I saw one? Perhaps not.

Still, this was a great spur--I hadn't done a critique here in months. Ten rep points helping someone write a little better (I hope) is much easier than blackmailing people here, or sending nude photos, in exchange for rep points! (<--it's a joke--you'd laugh if you saw me nude)
