wow
1,154 reviews and I finally dropped to 67 overall. It’s amazing, because I’ve been stuck at 70 for over a year.

Re: wow
It’s an attempt to make the top ten reviewers. It doesn’t give you superpowers or anything, just some bragging rights I guess. Maybe it does give you super powers. I’m not sure, because I’m only 67. (:

Re: wow
Used to be that top ten reviewers could sell their credits back to the site. Don't know if Sol is doing that anymore.
Top ten reviewers generally have amassed 6,000-7,000 credits, due to the sheer number of reviews they have done. And unless they have a stack of novels to workshop, they will never use that many to post their own work.

I just turned over 2,000 reviews today on JHawk's White Swan. I'm #27 overall among the reviewers.
I've been a member since February 4, 2009. I think it bodes well for the review side of the site that it takes some significant number more than 3.4 years @ 1.5 reviews per day to make it to the top 10 among reviewers. Those folks deserve a big hand.

Re: wow
Hi, All!
CONFESSION: I just inadvertently closed out a review without responding. Reason is simple spasticity on my part, but I owe the reviewer an apology & explanation. Trouble is, the person hasn't an email address listed and I really don't want to post a personal apology on a forum in the hope the reviewer will drop in and see it. Short of incorporating the apology into another review (tacky!) any ideas as to how to track someone down wihtin the site when they don't list an email address?

Hi Bonnie,
Is spasticity an actual word, lol, your so funny. Twice in 12 hours youve made me laugh so much; yeah okay I'm easily pleased.
Look firstly calm your pants...look down...are they calm....yes? Good, just post an apology, easy peazy. Like me your newbie, were allowed to f"@k up.
Bye

Re: wow
Watch out, reviewers! I have 300 in the 3 months I've been here, and have my sights set on the top 10. (insert evil laugh here)
No, but really. I have more credits than I'll ever need, is there a way to donate to a fellow writer in need?
