I wrote my first ten reviews :o) How is it going for you?

[---------X]

Who are you asking?

Whoever wants to share their progress. It's not too busy today, so thought we could share some updates.

     Oh ok. I've rated all the stories already (I had most of them rated before the contest started lol), and I have a few reviews although I rated some of these when my account was even younger, so they suck and are a paragraph long so I'll have to get new ones for those.

I don't think I have any, I've been stuck on the Tower of Riddles for a while lol

     You don't have to read the entire thing, if you're stumped on the puzzles you can rate it (I'm sure you can already tell it's great!), start on this contest, and when you're done here you can go back to trying to do the puzzles. Or maybe puzzle whenever you're not reading.

EDIT: Oh wait you did rate tower of riddles- so you're probably just trying to solve it then?

No I've finished it, I have been stuck on it in the past though. I'm gonna go ahead with As Ink, lol

     Oh ok. I was stuck on the last page a while too lol, I misinterpreted the clue and so looked in the wrong place.

Same thing I did XD

How would you know you misinterpreted it unless you figured it out?

I did figure it out, I've been stuck on it earlier though. I finished it already XD

     Oh, ok. From the clue, I thought they changed the color of a link to default and removed the underline so I was wasting time tracing my mouse across ALL THE TEXT IN THE STORY trying to find a link. ... ;(

LMAO

Couldn't be me, honestly. /j

It's one of the bad parts of being a tryhard...

*pat pat*

Tryhard is good. 

Nevermind that that was cringe. ><

I finally did a count and turns out I only reviewed 10% of the games listed before this, which is somewhat surprising and means I still got 90 to go if I want to get them all done. At almost 8 a month it doesn't feel like much given they're mostly on the shorter side, but I have other plans for next year that might eat into what time I will have.

Doing all of them is a hell of an impressive goal. Given your work with the Review Bored, however, I'm sure you can do it.

I'm not actively aiming to do them all, but I expect to inevitably do a few and then see since I will be continuing my reviews in 2026 anyway, but under a different schedule.

Going pretty good. I'm at 5, not counting all the other stories I've read before the contest started.

How are you doing Fab? How was your sabbatical? Hope everything's going well with you!

Rating or reviewing 5? Or both? Just wondering.

Rating and reviewing, so I'm sure it'll take a bit of time. But that's ok!

      Well if you do 5 in the amount of time since the contest began, and do at least 5 within that amount of time over and over, even if you didn't have ones already rated and reviewed I think you'd finish in time.

Thanks for the encouragement Avo! How is your progress?

Eh, I've rated all the stories but I'm pretty dead on reviewing.

Nicely done! Any standouts from the list that made you go, "Damn, that's a really great game"?

I think probably As Ink, although it's hard to remember them all.

I'm planning on writing some over the break! I'll try to rate all the games first before writing my reviews!
