How will we go about grading stories? Individual merit, or by some sort of rubric?

6119464 The group was dead for 28 weeks since its founding until I showed up and started promoting it and such. So I'd like input from the members thereof before I do anything.

6119467 Alright. One for merit, none for rubric so far.

Though if I start reviewing fics in here, I may default to scoring them (I've been hanging around in Story Standards a bit too much as of late...) If I do, though, I'll prolly stick to the standard x/10 overall for the stories' entire merit.

6119475 Which story?

(One for rubric, none for merit.)

stories i read that would be in this group, i usually judge based on the potential. Intent behind it, and rather the potential behind it makes a good story in my mind. tell me again what rubric is?

6119488 A grading rubric, in this case, is a mathematical spreadsheet that you judge a story with. How well or poorly it scores would then determine what folder it goes in, if we're looking at the handful of subfolders I've made. You can have a rubric with as many or as few categories as you'd like.

6119565 Moved it (it copied in the Edge folder, so I had to delete a copy to round off the number.)

6119567 De nada~

Having a rubric for stability would improve our ability to review fics, although I believe that merit could play into the rubric somehow. Merit could be a category or perhaps bonus points allocated after and on top of the rubric.

Some categories could include: grammar, sentence structure, prose, dialogue, characterization (in the event of a story involving canon characters), etc.

6119702 Two for rubric, and one for merit.

Thing is, if we were to do the rubric, I wouldn't want it to turn into the clusterfuck that the one used in Story Standards has become. So... as far as grading with said rubric goes, what would you suggest?

I have literally no idea how to construct a cohesive rubric, but if I were to attempt it I'd modify an existing English one.
