inzilbethPhew! I've just left my very first review at the MEFA's and feel ridiculously proud of myself so I thought I would come here and tell everyone! I didn't know why I've been so slow to get involved with all this. Once the initial hoo haa at the beginning was over, I've hardly been back there and have just kept putting off getting my head around the whole process of [A] how to find stories [B] how to review them, and [C] how the voting actually works.
Well I now know how to write a ten point review so that's a good start. My plan now is to write one review a day until the end of the month. I doubt I've read thirty stories this year so hopefully I can still pick up on a few new ones once I get the hang of browsing the categories. Either that, or I'm going to be very busy on New year's Eve!

Date: 2009-12-01 10:03 pm (UTC)As for getting reviews done... for me, it worked best to start with the short stories and drabbles. They're a little easier to review--I don't usually leave the big 10-pointers for drabbles unless they're really outstanding. So that could be a way you could eke out more than one review a day if you're wanting to leave as many as you can in order to find the most new stories.

Date: 2009-12-02 09:06 pm (UTC)I have to confess I'm still feeling like that - somehow, writing MEFA reviews is much more intimidating than writing normal reviews. *g*
