*If I can recommend anything, it would just be to try to keep any sarcastic comments aimed away from the author's abilities. Comments like "do your homework," "have a cookie," and sighing sound about 4.5% condescending. While that's not a lot, why have that 4.5% detract from the 100,000% awesomesauce that is your grade (while possibly discouraging the author)? You have a fantastic, humorous dynamic between the author and your critique, so continue that while making sure the sarcasm is aimed towards your own metaphors and not the author's. Anyway, excellent work as per usual!

Claimy thanky!

 

Meeeeeeep. D: Pinky promise, none of those were intending to insult nitro, even if they looked like it DDDDDD: (the "my homework" bit, which I think was regarding "my homework for you is to use less of this sentence structure" is a verbal quirk I picked up from my sister, but it's literally just meant to be "hi I'm going to ask you to do a rewrite in a bit and this would really be a great thing to keep in mind when that happens." The cookies were when I realized that the grade was predominantly negative and I was like but there's so much good here how do I reward people puppies no that's animal abuse I know cookies! And then the "ugh" was honestly because I felt bad for the verdict (although I still stand by it) because I recognized a lot of good, along with a lot of fixable things, and I'm not particularly keen on giving out failing grades to mostly-good stories/authors but felt like I needed to in this case.

Tl;dr: I pinky pinky promise I don't mean to sound like a jerk to my writers. D::: I'm too young to be the old crotchety grader ;-----; I will try harder plz

Oh and claiming. Thanks! ^^

 

Thank you! That's the first grade I've done that well on!

 

hehe, I thought so! And I knew you would never sound even like 1% condescending. Something just didn't sit entireeeeeely right with me when I read the grade so I thought to address it just in case. But yeah, awesome grading as usual!

And lol look at me trying to be like 1% as good as legendary Galleon giving grader feedback back in the day 8DD HEROES LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS!!
