Have you all noticed that everyone is saying in the fall they probalby won't have time to review? What happens in the fall then? lol These are things we need to think about.

If we have enough people who want to do this, as in more than one per category, it could probably still work... as long as one person for each category could still do it in the fall.  But yeah, I know...

Well, as long as my reviewing can wait until the weekends, I can probably crank out one biweekly, depending on how long it is...

Julit said a lot of the others took longer than that, so I don't think it's too bad.

Yeah, that's true, as long as no one minds if we take awhile - a few weeks per story even - no one should really have an excuse.  If you really want to do it, it doesn't take that long to read a little bit every night, assuming the stories are not like War and Peace.  The War and Peace length stories (*cough*) can be given extra weeks to be read if the authors want them reviewed.

So basically if any of us want our stories reviewed, it'll take another week. :D

As long as you're not trying to read something all at once, it's really not all that bad. When it's all at once it does seem extremely long though...

Does anyone want to take charge of this?  I dunno if you're waiting on me to get this thing going or not, but I did post an example rubric that no one really gave any input on, besides the discussion about banners, so I'm not sure what else to do at this point.  So if anyone wants to take the reigns, feel free!!

I thought we were all getting together for a chat about it?

The weekend (aka Friday and Saturday) is still best for me.

I'm still on the fence about whether it's going to actually be done or not. I can see us all being into it for like a week and then no one wanting to do it anymore. lol

LOL I know.  I can see that too, especially since it's taken us so long to really do anything about it...  And the closer we get to school starting, the more "eh" I'm starting to get about it...

I still want my story submitted. :( Can someone just do it for me in their spare time? Like five minutes a month or something?

I should be good to review any old time - but I say this now, when I don't have a job - lol. But even when I do get a job, there's no way I can just up & leave fan fiction. Hehe.
