With few votes, mostly in favor of a grading rubric... how will we construct said rubric? I also want to include "merit" somewhere in it, as someone suggested it to make it more impartial.

I also don't want the rubric to turn into a clusterfuck like the one I have in place for Story Standards. Something short, simple, to the point please.

6123529 Sounds reasonable. I'd normally want to add canon to that list, but there're a bunch of AUs and crossovers out there that would demand attending to, and canon by itself is a very broad terminology.

6123576 Mhm, so if anything I may use it... but only for fics that aren't either crossover or AU.

Eeeyup.

Hey, I'm about to do a review for a fic, so I'll try to come up with a template review that can be more or less used as a model.
