Great idea -- I'm one of those who roll their eyes at long reviews. I'll give it a try, though I can't promise anything.

count me in. i hope many movie reviewers choose to accept as well, things have gotten a bit out of hand at times, with the length of some reviews, and it'll be nice to see some short and sweet ones. (though you should email artbyjude in case she doesn't read this - i would LOVE to see her try and be brief. NOT a slight jude, i love your reviews, i just think this challenge might be hardest for you... :)
good idea for a write-off, i'm excited.

Hey Don. Was that an acceptance of the challenge??
I hope it is. I wasn't sure. Let me know and I'll add you to the list...:-)
And 'call out' all your music pals. You guys and gals can 'write deep' with anyone. It'll be a real challenge for all !!

What the dilly? (Reply to this comment)
by d_fienberg
My movie review tend to average well over 2000 words each. So this should be a hoot and a holler! If this is my lowest rated review ever, I'll hold you personally responsible!
But I'm in...

666 words? That's just for the opening paragraph, right? (Reply to this comment)
by mfunk75
My movie reviews have been getting longer and loonnggeerr and looonnnnggggeeerrr ever since I got here. It's becoming a real problem.
So I accept your challenge, Tom. Is there a prize for the shortest review? Or maybe shortest review that still gets a VH rating? Just asking...

Count me in! (Reply to this comment)
by AEOakley
In fact, I've already submitted a book review!
What's funny (to me, anyway!) is that it's a revised/updated review from a couple years ago. I added information, and it's still well-under your word-limit.
I guess my reviews have all gotten lengthier as the years have gone by, but personally I usually like the short-but-sweet reviews better, especially when it comes to kid books.
This is a great W/O idea -- thanks for opening it up to everybody!

Are Make Up reviews allowed? (Reply to this comment)
by elainehn
If so, here's mine ... Elizabeth Arden Eyeshadow Singles - http://www.epinions.com/content_82069917316 which I believe comes in at 541 words included the ingredient list.
Let me know if there's anything more I need to do.
Thanks!

I admit it! (Reply to this comment)
by panguitch
I have a problem.
"Hello everybody. My name is Panguitch. And I can't stop typing."
I think I'm averaging 1700 words. My longest is 3600 (though it's in the process of being surpassed).
Reigning it in is a challenge for me--even though concision is something I value when rating reviews. After a point, the longer a review is, the less helpful it becomes unless it's very artfully written.
So, fully aware of my weakness and not entirely hopeful at my chances, I'm tentatively accepting the challenge. I just don't know what to review!

Hey Dan!
Just for you I 'counted' some 'VH' reviews in 'movies' for you:
Movies: 686 to 2202 words...average: 871!!
And yes, I threw out one of yours as one of the two longest...:-)
Glad to see you aboard !!

See my reply to Dan's comment earlier for my quick numbers on 'movies' reviews. I thought 'books' writers could be long-winded...:-)
