Opinions and suggestions for the Critique forum. Page 3

A good way to give feedback is the method that is used in thousands of toastmasters public speaking groups across the globe - it is the sandwich method ( which obviouly will appeal greatly to Lee)

1. Something you enjoyed.
2. Something to improve (the bulk of the feedback goes here)
3. Something you enjoyed.

Hence you start and finish with something postive.

Of course, this is easier said than done and people write what they want anyway,

That's a really good idea
I wrote much the same in the other thread this morning
That's a really terrific idea:D

Can't see that being upheld either really.

Tbh, I think the thing most needed is traffic. Traffic begets traffic so if the regulars pass through more then it makes the place busier which makes others more likely to want to engage with it etc etc.

Also, once the skit comp has finished we could then have critique of the various skits.

I read the critique rules. I'm sure other people will read it too.

Hopefully, writers who post their work will be prepared for both the positives and the negatives. I don't know that a voting system would work, unless it was carefully moderated. There's always room for trolls to wrongly vote people down.

Regarding the long scripts being typed out/pasted, I'm currently setting up a web page that will allow people to send me pdf files they would like to direct people to. I'm busy for the next few days, but I will post an email address that scripts can be sent to.

I am completely normal and trustworthy (ask my parole officer), so anything I get will be kept safely on my hard drive unedited. If you think about it, anyone willing to post their script here, shouldn't mind it being posted elsewhere.

I have a new service.

I have cloned a gorilla with the DNA of Brian Blessed.

And built it a cage ontop of the London shard.

For a small fee my 600lb robo simian Welsh actor will shout your script to a 30 mile radius.

It's still in the beta testing stages as the scripts keep coming back covered in faeces.

Well...that was my original plan, but I decided against it as it seemed so complicated. However, now you've set out in such a logical and easy to understand manner...I'm seriously tempted to give it another go.

Hands off my intelectual property mush.

Hmmm...I know...how about you protect your hard work by sending it in a PDF file to me at:

I dunno I heard these guys are the business

I feel you are mocking my services. I don't know if I can ever get over this. I'm deeply hurt and distressed. <cries>

Write a sitcom and I'll have my vulcsan gorilla abomination roar it across london whilst beating its chest

<still crying>
Going to bed now to soak my pillow with tears! OHHH!!

Ok, this is still the critique forum, so if you wouldn't mind staying on topic please?

:D

Sorry, yes, I'll stop posting now...but he started it.

Did I mention the beast rides a unicycle?
