dolla dolla bill y'all

SHOUT OUT to Fellykins and Elysia for clearing the stories backlog! You two rock! Here are wages - let me know if anything's amiss! Thanks for working so hard!

@Felly; $24,750

  • Dye in the Sunshine [WaR]: Moderate, 7,500 (+750) = 8,250 + 1k WaR! (only WaR that wasn't also SWC so definitely thought to give a bonus here as well!) = 9,250
  • A Dream on Its Last Thorn: Strong Moderate, 7,500 (+1,500) = 9,000

    Definitely a strong grade here! I thought the points about the timing of the music in the YouTube video were a bit meticulous and overall would advise that grades focus more on the substance of the story or the little details of the actual story. Because the accompaniment in this case was a video the author had not created themselves, there was not much they'd be able to do to edit such an accompaniment issue for the next story. On the other side, you did an excellent job delving into time and consistency issues with the rest of the story by asking powerful, important questions for the author to think about. Definitely continue along this line! It might help to think about other things like: how well did this story come together as a crossover? What would you recommend them to change for future stories?

  • A New Day for Kricky: Moderate, 5,000 (+1,500) = 6,500

    EXCELLENT grade for this level! You were encouraging, helpful, and offered powerful ways for the writer to get on their way! This grade was definitely geared towards how you can help the author improve for future stories, which is one of the best mindsets we can have as graders seeking to help authors. Thanks for taking down the backlog in an epic way!


@Elysia; $27,250

  • Fish Out of Water (SWC): Strong Moderate, 9,000 (+900) = 9,900 + 1k SWC!

    WOW wow wow, it was clear in this grade that you've really been paying attention over the years to the growth of this author's writing style! Those acute observations allowed you to hone in on ways that the author can deeply improve. To note such crucial trends - that's impressive and admirable. This is what we do on the URPG Story section and the epitome of why there's nothing else quite like our reviews anywhere else on the internet. Thanks for doing what you do!

  • Patience is Rewarding: Moderate, 5,500 (+1,100) = 6,600
  • Just Like Me: Strong Moderate, 7,500 (+2,250) = 9,750
