Okay, I sold out. I'm getting reviewed. I am so ashamed! But nevertheless, here are the people I've signed up for:
Fortune Cookie Reviews: They Never Lie. - (83%)
She loved everything but my writing - oh! I'm so ashamed! I always prided myself on my writing, but I suppose I do lead a rather boring life. However, 83% is nothing to sneeze at, so hopefully my other reviewers will more appreciate my content ; )
Wide Awake Reviews - (74%)
Oh dear, I just seem to be getting worse marks . . . I lost marks for content (again!) and layout, but I don't feel it was that properly explained. She tells me my diary is everything a diary should be, but then only gives me 34/50. She says she likes my stark design, but then only gives me 19/25. Oh well. I'll hold out hopes for other reviewers to recognise my genius ; )
Quite Nasty Reviews - (90%)
Zonino! Finally, a reviewer who appreciates my writing! She says she loves me, I feel so spesh. However, I lost marks for my layout, which was too plain and too bright, and also cause my prev/next buttons were in a bad spot. A common complaint, I shall rectify it in my next layout. Honest!
r-e-v-i-e-w: clean slate! - (100%)
Woohoo! Another spectacular review! She has ordered me to write a novel, and says: "Either you're naturally prone to perfection, or you're really obsessive with your diary." A little from column A, a little from column B : )
Mediocre Reviews - (85%)
This review was a little . . . er . . . incoherent. "It seems that on your short entries all that you are doing is bitching about how is pissing you off because they are Tell us why they are pissing you off, and make fun of them for being so wrong." That only makes a half-sense . . . but anyway. They seemed to like me (my first guy reviewer, too!), but I get the feeling he didn't read the Design page . . . which is annoying. Go to all that trouble . . . *grumble mutter grumble*
My Reviews: For the Hardcore - (96%)
This review basically told me all my fears were true - the links are difficult to come to terms with, I am too preachy - but also that all I hoped was true - I can write well. I'm not quite sure why she gave me such a high score, but her scoring system's always been rather arbitrary. She said she didn't like my white-background layout, probably to get back at me ranting about her dark layout (yes, I did just get in a plug for my own review site there).
Critiques - (91%)
You know, I'm not sure why I signed up for this review anymore. I mean, sure, I got a good mark, but it wasn't exactly the most insightful of reviews - I got 37/40 for content with the following remarks: "Caught a couple cuss-words. Saw one title I didn't like. Your entries have good length; you tell things in detail. That's a plus." Yup, that's it in its entirety.
