^ oh yeah I think it should only be submitted by the author lol That would be a disaster if it wasn't.

[Purpura Lipstick]

Yes it is a disaster Mare, I lived through that with my site. The story was not submitted by the author and yeah that was a HUGE deal

[mare]

Wow I can only imagine! lol

Oh, I definitely think grammar needs to be a part of the rubric!!  Face it, there are some people (like me LOL) who will overlook a story if it's terribly written in terms of grammar and mechanics, whereas it might be a very good story, content wise, if it was proofread.  Writers, no matter what age, need to know that it's important, and I do think stories should be graded down if they are full of bad grammar.  That's an area of improvement just as things like character development and continuity are.

And yeah, definitely, only the author can submit their story for review LOL.

I'd be interested in helping devise the rubric cuz Lord knows I've seen enough of them. I'm not sure about reviewing though cuz I can barely keep up with everyones stories on AC lol. Maybe I can do a lil bit now that summer is here.

For the rubric (and I'm sure my fellow teachers already know this) but there are a ton of websites where you can download a template and then edit it to your liking.

I have some left over from my term papers and a couple from creative writing, so...

And Rose, yup, just ask. I don't remember if I read the last chapter you wrote, but... everything that was up on Ethereality, I read.

[RokofAges75]

The creative writing ones might be helpful, Dee.

Purpura, do you have anything that you used on your review site?

We really just need to make a list of areas we're critiquing, maybe sub-areas too, and a point value for each one... then we could just add up the points for a grand total at the end.  Each subarea would be worth a different amount of points based on how important we think it is.

[RokofAges75]

Adding onto what I just posted, it would be helpful to also have a brief description of what each point value would look like.

Example: For grammar/spelling/mechanics (whatever we want to label that as), if it was worth 5 points, to get a 5, the story would have to be basically perfect (maybe a typo or two, but no blatant mistakes).  For a 4, a few more mistakes but still well-written.  3 would be average, not horrible but not stellar either.  2, pretty bad, lots of mistakes.  1, hardly readable LOL.

[nicksgal]

Yup, that looks just like my school rubrics.

[Purpura Lipstick]

those are like many school rubrics and make "grading" things soooo much easier.

[moppy]

  Oh Oh I'd be good at reviewing, BSB and TV show crossovers!!! lol of course i've only read 2 of them but they're fantastic so i'd definitely love to read more.

PS wat the hel is a rubric?  Damn you people and your big words lol

totally OT but ya know, every time I see you say Rose when I know you mean the other Rose for a moment I think you mean me lmao.

[nicksgal]

A rubric is basically a compilation of either:
~How a paper is graded based on a points system.
~What needs to be included in a paper.

Aww, I love you too Rose.

OMG as soon as I read this I had to go sign in over there.  I couldn't remember how long it had been since I had been on that site (January  ).  I was only up to chpt 4 over there, but I have up to chpt 6 posted on AC.  I'm going to try and get chpt 7 posted this week, but I'm worried it won't make sense because I'm trying to logically skip ahead a few months.

Whats the site?
