Any errors in this review have been overlooked by the author as any corrections would necessitate a reread, and I'm just not prepared for that.

What a mammoth task - rather you than me! Just an observation on something you mentioned re titles and how to attract attention. Good point. I used to include the title of the thing being reviewed then stopped doing it, because I felt it made my own title too unwieldy and long. Also I believe that, yes I do add my own personality through the title, which with any luck, should get readers in. As for negative comments and ratings, my solution is simple (a) genuine constructive criticism, I pay attention to and may even act on while (b) gratuitous negativity gets blocked. Great review as usual. H.

About the rating... (Reply to this comment)

...this was pretty long and unwieldy without actually providing very much information.

That's not to say that I don't appreciate an effort to try to build something worthwhile in the face of such great constraints, but they definitely worked against you and doing so would have been a Herculean task.

Everything everyone does here is self-serving and useless, most especially your comment.

How have you formed an opinion of me in the one day you have been here? You must be truly a good judge of character. But wait, you were apparently wrong about me. Alas.

Thanks for the read. I don't get paid anything for mine either. Well... something, but it is hardly a noticeable difference.

Thanks for checking in. I did read yours, and it was very good as well. I'm incredibly jealous of the people who participated who have very few reviews to worry about.


Cheers!

I find that virtually all the fun I have causes me to want to close the blinds and put a wet rag over my face.........errrrr nevermind.

Not at all. I don't think I really thought it through before I signed up though. ;)

Cheers!

So am I, but I'm not quite sure how to disagree with you here.

Thanks for the read and comment.

I really enjoyed reading your comments on your titles, you have a great sense of humor.

"*Merely a lot of sex!* Flagrant use of the word ‘sex’ for no other reason than to use it. Shameless, almost degrading, tossing out of all respectability. This one only has about five times the non-member hits of other reviews." It is interesting how many non-member hits certain titles get, my review, My Vagina Itched Like a Trout In Milk, has gotten more non-member hits in the shortest amount of time than almost all of my other reviews. Go figure!

Actually someone told me that it came up first in a google search using vagina and itch as the keywords in the search. I wonder if your review had a similar boost from a search engine? Too bad I won't get paid a penny for mine! Oh well.

Loved the review.

So you did the how to choose a title angle, too. I couldn't have gotten nearly as far as you did in commenting on them. Well, maybe you've seen my essay. I too think I'll delete some essays. Great effort. I felt your pain.

That was a really rough read. I'm going to draw the blinds, put a wet rag over my eyes and pretend this never happened.

Oddly, it was at the same time fun.

I would have to agree with Mr. Disagreeable MattJoe. LOL

It was a very tough challenge and I very much appreciate you joining in the write-off.
