All right, Aderia: Toa of Ducklings has been assigned to your epic. Expect a review soon, and thank you for choosing the ECC!

*sigh* Done. I'd be totally proud of myself too, if it weren't for the literal two and a half hours of trying (and failing) to get the stupid formatting to work for me. I'm about ready to throw my laptop at the wall. I just couldn't afford to lose the whole review I'd typed.I'll get in there to clean it up as soon as my schedule allows. Apologies in advance.

I'm sure Parazan can overlook some format inconsistencies for the excellent work you put into your critique. I can understand wanting to retain work that you put 2.5 hours into looking...proper. Thank you as always, Aderia.

I am proud to announce our newest critic, TNTOS. Having been an active presence in the library and a competent writer, he is a terrific addition to our team.

Dear ECC Critics,

I was thinking today, the ECC has never taken a request directly from a critic. I recognize that might feel awkward, asking one of your fellow reviewers to examine your work and post their conclusions. However, I encourage any and all writers to come here - even our members. I just want to cover a couple things regarding critic requests. First of all, a request placed by a critic to the ECC will be treated like any other - with professionalism. Interpret that as you will. Second, if you are a critic assigned to review an ECC member's work, you will have 3 weeks to complete the task, rather than the standard amount. This is a failsafe to ensure that, in the unlikely event we suddenly become very busy, that critic can be assigned a non-member request without being pressed for time on the member request.

I've updated the initial post to address the important parts of this message, but like any other request, I still ask that you adhere to the agreed upon format. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know. Thank you!

-Cederak (ECC Director)


1.) Dynamic Paradigm

2.) Review Topic

3.) Number of Chapters: 40

[joev14]

Edited: Since these two books go hand-in-hand, I'm hoping it's alright to have somebody review both of them (If at all possible it'd be great if the same person who reviews the first one also reviews the second one). All the chapters should be up by Saturday. Thanks for your consideration!

The Gorge (EXO-FORCE) (If you don't know a whole lot about exo-force, you can find out more information at my wiki here, Perms to link given by B6)
Review Topic
Chapters: Intro + 5 (Expect them to be all up by the end of the week) (each chapter is 800-1200 words)

Golden City Origins (EXO-FORCE)
Review Topic
Chapters: Intro + 6 + Epilogue (Expect them to all be up by the end of the week) (each chapter is 800-1200 words)

EDIT 2: Actually at this rate I think I'll have them all posted by the end of today, if that makes a difference I though I'd just let you know
EDIT 3: By that I meant I might have them up earlier then usual (They're all up now).

I've got four different epic series to post here, if at all possible, I'd like to get the same person who reviews "The Gorge" to review "Golden City Origins" since they sort of go hand-in-hand. Please add/edit to your review as I add chapters!

Shadows of Miserix, I don't expect to get a super good rating on this since I wrote it back in 2010, but I can hope
Review Topic
Chapters: currently 16, but since I'm only allowed to post once every 12 hours, there's only 4 right now (expect all 16 to be up by the end of next week) (Each chapter is 300-500 words)

Hmmm, I think you should select one of them, as ECC takes one request per person.

1.) Only one of your epics will be reviewed at a time.

Hello, joev14. I'm glad to see what a busy writer you are, however, to be fair to other authors here on BZP, we will only accept one of your epics. Once a critic has completed their review, you may return with another request. Once you decide which epic you'd like reviewed first, please edit your initial post to reflect the decision and I will have a critic assigned to it as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.

-Ced


EDIT: Regrettably, I still cannot accept your request. Your chapter amount given does not match the chapter amount in the actual epics. I would begin reading these immediately if I accepted the request, and those last chapters wouldn't be up yet. So, if you're willing to have part of the epics reviewed right now, to expedite the process, I'll take them personally. Otherwise, I would understand if you wanted to retract your request until the epics have been entirely posted. Especially given our other rule on epics only being critiqued ONE TIME. Think it over and edit your post to let me know.

EDIT 2: Okay, I'll probably have a review up for you around Sunday some time.

Woot! I've been looking for an excuse to sit down and read some good stuff in the library Perfect for a long weekend.

[Cederak]

As a note to all ECC critics, our little group is now a little more than seven months old and to celebrate your hard work, I wanted to give you each a small token of my appreciation for what you provide to the epic sub-forum. As such, any ECC critic is allowed to request more than one review for an epic. The intro post has been modified to reflect this decision. I trust you won't abuse this membership benefit.

Thanks,

Quick question: If I post another chapter before my epic is reviewed, does the new chapter get reviewed as well?

[TNTOS]

Quick question: If I post another chapter before my epic is reviewed, does the new chapter get reviewed as well?

I'll answer this, seeing as I am reviewing your epic.

The answer is no. I'm only doing the three chapters you asked to be reviewed. If you post more chapters maybe you can ask for another review, but right now just expect me to comment on the three chapters you asked to be reviewed, even if you post more chapters.

Thank you for being so timely on this TNTOS. Also, to TNG Prime: as per the ECC rules, you are allowed to make an appeal for another review if we believe substantial work has gone into your epic since the initial critique.

What exactly is the system for another review? I could use one, but apparently I have to do...er...something.

I did take into account the advice of TNTOS and use it in all further chapters.

As stated in the main post (please read through the whole first post, as most questions will be answered there):

2.) An epic will only be reviewed one time by the ECC. However, if you believe a substantial amount of work has gone into your epic since its ECC review, PM me to make an appeal on the matter. ECC critics are exempt from this entire rule.
