Question: Can you bump threads if you've received no criticism on them and it's in the second page or lower?
View ArticleRe: Read This First! Forum Rules and Guidelines
I'd say no, but someone else can correct me on that if necessary. If the forums are going really slowly, you can (and should!) head to the IRC chatroom and get critique there, or ask people there to...

When "This forum is for full drafts only." is said, what exactly defines a "full" draft? I have an SCP in the works right now and I'm almost done with it. I have not had it critiqued yet because I...

Well, if you post early, you might be scrambling to fix issues that you were already going to fix anyway. A "full" draft is usually a draft that the user feels is ready for critique. It's best to put...

Thank you, that was the most helpful advice I could have asked for :)

You're welcome! If you ever have further questions, feel free to contact me or another staff member. :3
View ArticleRe: Read This First! Forum Rules and Guidelines
Almost a necropost, but which Staff member(s) should be contacted, and how long is too long to wait for further critiques?
View ArticleRe: Read This First! Forum Rules and Guidelines
You can check the Guide to Newbies to see which staff would be most suitable. A week is the maximum for me. Very few drafts go through that don't get at least one review or opinion.
View ArticleRe: Read This First! Forum Rules and Guidelines
It's for any and all drafts that would go on the site, be they -J or-EX articles, tales, essays etc.

Instead of replying to your own comments, edit your previous post using the "edit" function under the "options" tab to the lower right of every comment. That prevents spam buildup, and it's in the...

I've tried posting in chat but no one seems interested, its slightly embarrassing that no one looks at them. I'll also use the edit on posts too, thanks for the heads up.

The site's been flooded with new members and drafts lately; it's possible that you joined during a too-low or too-high activity time. Also, your draft had a significant number of errors. Generally the...

Can someone look at my tale? I can post the link here right?

Sorry, but could you specify what you're asking? Edit: didn't see you wanted a tale critiqued above. Just click "Create New Thread" in this forum, and add your sandbox link and other info if necessary.

Will there be a wikidot message for every post on your thread, or will you have to check often?

Wikidot's forum functionality doesn't allow you to subscribe to threads, only pages, at least as far as I know.

It depends. If the draft thread has been sitting for a day or so without any responses, I'd say wait until an established writer makes a post. If it's been there for three or more days and there's...

You should read the second paragraph of my post. I'm assuming you're joking, but frankly that last comment doesn't really boost my confidence any.

Of course I'm joking. I would never threaten anyone seriously, ever, unless they threatened myself or my family. That's why I put the LOL at the end, because I am painfully aware of how difficult it...

You just leave it. The D&C forums move pretty quickly, and yours'll be buried soon enough.
