Meh, you guys are better than the Comedies Critics Club. I'm starting to think I might have to start it back up myself.
I do appreciate the review, and the insight was very good.

So.. when can I try getting my story reviewed again?
As I said in my post:
I'll also post to let everyone know that we are taking requests again.
Anyway, yes, we are now allowing requests again. We're going back to the assigning reviews to critics. As of right now, we are only letting in five requests at a time. That may change, however, but in the mean time, all reviews will hopefully be done within a week. Again, I thank everyone for your patience.
Critics: There were two critics I wasn't able to PM (I left a message on your profile page, Yukiko -- the other hasn't been active), and so if you didn't receive any sort of message from me, please PM (or email me: Toa_Velox@BZPower.com) me ASAP.

I'd be interested in any crticism for this one, if that's alright. It was a story I experimented with, so feel free to be as critical as you like. ^^

My review for Gathering Dust is up. Sorry, I have no such excuse for my lateness, as we have WiFi and ethernet everywhere here. The beginning semester homework hit me quite hard, but I shall adjust in the next few weeks and my review shall turn up in a more timely fashion.

Don't tell me which way I run.

While this is waiting for recovery, PM me and I'll give you a review.
Albeit, it won't be an official SSCC review, but I'll write with the same caliber I normally would for a review.

Alright! Glad I'm not too late to submit a story.
Divided We Fall by Grant-Sud
I like what I've written, but to be honest I feel like it gets repetitive. If I can get another opinion on that, that'd be great. Please and thank you!

Well, I don't know where Cap'n K is/if he's got a review that simply hasn't been posted, but I went ahead and filled in for him. Here you go.

Remember - Tolkien -- Assigned to Velox

If anyone wants to take some of the ones assigned to me, please PM me -- three critics haven't replied to my PM yet (or been online), and I didn't want to mess up the cycle, but if anyone wants to do a review every cycle (or two some cycles) instead of every other cycle please let me know.
Anyway, reviews are due by next Wednesday (Feb 15).

@ Kal Grochi ~ Sorry, we are not currently accepting requests. Check back in a couple days. =]
Anyway, I have reviewed All Our Sins Remembered; I'm giving Tyler Durden and myself a two day extension (Friday) on the last two stories (as we both were reviewing more than one). Reviews will be up as soon as possible, and then we will accept 5 more requests.

Yes, but you cannot use the advice we give until after the contest is over -- once posting your entry you cannot edit it. Otherwise it would be unfair, as it'd be impossible for us to review every entry.

Aaand last-minute family trip=driving all day straight from school=no time to review...I'll try to get your review done tomorrow, Tolkien, though that depends on what I do with family tomorrow.
Anyway, we'll allow 5 more requests, now.
