Well, the way it's been going for quite a while (And I haven't heard of news of changing it anytime likely), there are no "critcs" persay, just people who critique other people's works. You don't have to be out a select group of people, anyone can do it.

Yes, anyone can do a critique. But critics (as for now anyway) get some special recognition for taking the extra time to really dedicate themselves on helping people who aren't getting critiques, as well as giving out some well thought out ones. They'd get their names up on the wall...It's not much but I'm thinking of a way to give thanks for people willing to do that. >>;

And the place will be updated when I return from my trip. I'm just thinking on how to well...do this so it runs smoothly. I'm trying to gather feedback but honestly I can never figure out how to make the polls up and running. They always give me double answers, or suddenly chop off answers I placed in turn with answers from previous polls and what-have-you. It's so very annoying.

I liked your form! It was very sweet and sad. My only critique is to watch your sentence structure: for example, avoid starting sentences with "But," as it makes your sentences run a little awkwardly. A good technique is to read your writing out loud; you'll catch awkwardly phrased sentences. There are also a couple of spelling errors, but nothing a run through a spellcheck wouldn't fix.
Section 1, paragraph 3: drowsey= drowsy
Section 2, paragraph 1: arking= barking

Quick bump for the night. And a small reminder to use the forms. I mean it's just for order's sake, or do you think I should get rid of them?

I, personally, think the forms are very helpful. c:

That's very precious to me. And astronomy is,
in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of
looking inwards, you are looking out, to things
beyond our grasp.

I think it's more organized, but not really needed. What I would do is just quote the form and write out what I think about it. o3o

I put forms there so that when you scroll through the thread the color will pop out at you and you know at a glance when someone is asking critique on a form, a story, or giving a critique out. But I guess quoting a form isn't too bad either.

Well, I think a form for those asking for critiques is good, but one for giving one? I don't think there needs to be one.
