  • IWT8 Ratings Thread

    Deadline for submitting ratings is usually 3 weeks after the contest so get them in by February 6th.

    Scoring will be on a 1 to 10 scale in these 4 categories

    Writing Style
    Plot/Creativity
    Enjoyment
    Theme

    Weight one category that you think is the most important so it will count for double for all stories.

    PM your ratings to Usoki and he'll calculate everything to see who the big winner is.

    Remember if you participated in this contest (and actually submitted a story) you need to rate everyone else's stories. Failing to do so, will make Usoki VERY unhappy and bad things may happen to you.

    If you didn't participate (or you're just a SHAMED participant) you can still rate stories, but again rate all of them, not just some.

    Here are the stories.

            I'm with Mizal in the central time zone. Granted, I'm not End, so my opinion means jack...

            And there's the word of authority. Alrighty then.

            And it's embarrassing when you make any noise at all.

                I'm just watching Mizal squirm. I'll allow a bit more time for those slow Central folks.

                  I feel like there should be a cracking of the bubbly and falling of confetti for everyone involved in the contest but....I doubt that will happen.

                    You laugh but this is almost exactly what I did...among other things.

                    It's funny this was the contest that was supposed to erase SHAME but I feel even worse now after what I just stooped to. I probably should have just said fuck it and lurked for the next three months instead.

                      Unless your story had an extra terrestial horror eat a newborn baby in front of it's mother, then your ok in my book. :


                      I'm just happy I get to read a bunch of sci-fi stories from the users of this board tbh.

                          Okay, two questions:

                          1) Does it matter whether we send the PMs via forum messaging or via the infinite-story messaging service? (I just want to make sure before sending it to the wrong place).

                          2) We're not expected to rate our own stories, right?

                          3) The most important category - is that being rated out of 20?

                          (Sorry if these are really obvious questions. It's been two years, so I've forgotten most of the details).

                            1. Usually people PM the ratings on the main writing site rather than the forums. Apoth and Ryan used to like it for some reason. Not sure if Usoki has a preference, though.

                            2. No, you don't rate your own story.

                            3. Scoring system is 1-10 for all categories. You weight one category which you think is the most important so it counts as double the points.

                              Okay, thanks! Just wanted to clear things up before I got to work properly on the ratings.
