He is, but I don't think he would be opposed to us at least claiming to be an AC affiliate even if it's not right on the site right away. If someone has a domain they can put it on for now until we get the chance to talk to him, it might still work as an AC subdivision.

If it's "My Imortal" you're asking about, I've read all of it, so... If you want some help, Rose.... :)

I may take you up on that. I've been kind of stuck. I hope to have the next chapter done soon. I've rewritten it several times. :)

That's why I stopped doing it. I found myself beta-ing more than working on my own stuff lol
RokofAges75:
I can put it up on my domain.
And I have an idea... once we come up with a sort of rubric to use, maybe everyone who wants to review should review the same story as sort of a trial run (maybe a story outside of AC) just to 1) make sure we're all on the same page with how we're rating things, 2) test out the rubric; see if anything else should be added, and 3) get a feel for reviewing and see if we like doing it.
Purpura Lipstick:
The thing about not pointing out the grammatical errors though is that they won't learn how to correctly use the language. Sure maybe not make it a HUGE deal with the rubric but it still needs to be a part of it. The whole point of a review site (in my opinion) is to help the authors grow as authors and if you don't take the grammar into consideration they'll never change it.
I do get what you mean though about not making it something that could drag the story's "score" down if it's not perfect.
I might confuse myself and you all (something I find I do easily now) but point out grammar corrections/errors so the authors can improve but don't give a scoring if you'd like ... but grammar is in most writing rubrics but it can be weighted lighter. That might make sense to the other teachers in the forum, I hope at least. :-D
Was this discussed. Make the AUTHOR submit their story because it would be sucky to have your story submitted for review and it to get reviewed when maybe you weren't ready for that step yet.
