Critic Wanted

Try-Outs Closed

As of 11:59 last night, these open try-outs are now officially closed. Any scripts sent in after the precise time will not be accepted.

Once again, I'd like to thank all of the participants for sending in their critiques. Your involvement in this project will definitely benefit from your talents. So stay tuned; now we need to decide...

Wait, is the contest to find a new story guy? I wouldn't turn a recruitment into a contest, I'd be up front about it instead of trying to do whatever you guys are doing. But eh. I would review but I am on iPhone at the moment, plus I am not too interested in taking part in this... Especially when you are not upfront in a recruiting thread :/2011-05-10 15:11:00

No. This job is for someone who can provide 100% honest feedback on both the script and pages, so we can make sure the comic is the best it can be.
We're definitely not getting a new story guy, Outlaw could neeever be replaced!

Okay, I re-edited some things to make it more clear to read.

And to anyone whose reading this... really, we could use all of the help we could get, and I really need someone to help me edit these so we can make this comic project a whole lot better.

Thanks mods for moving this.

Meh.

I'm kind of busy, so 100% is something I can't guarantee. But I'll be happy to give my 2 cents on the script.

LMAO! This is awesome! I read the whole thing and it had me laughing out loud at some moments!...I'm not a troll am I?! D:

Are you turning this into an actual comic, or keeping it as a story? Anyway, I think it's awesome!

Sorry I can't offer much for actually evaluating it properly, but why not post it up on some other writing sites though if you haven't done so already? From reading it once through though, I spotted no problems (grammar, spelling ect.)

Not sure if you're familiar with the comic project "Fatal Fantasia" that we had going a few months ago...This is that. So yeah, it's going to be PART of a comic.

Oh, ok. I've seen it knocking around the site, but never really looked at it. I'll check it out properly now!

Well, ah, actually...A month or two ago, the original thread was locked due to a certain 'mishap' that occurred, and there was a lot of fuss. A lot of people thought the project was canceled after that, but this is the first time we've said anything about the comic in public since then. We'll have a new thread and lots of info once we've got the ball rolling again.

Well, the way you can help is to read the script, and then send me a PM with your feedback on it.

And just remember guys, send me a PM with your critique, some info on yourself, and your reasons why you'd benefit us. You got until next Wednesday to do it.

And don't worry about me not being available: next week is state testing for me, but tests for me are like drops in a bucket. So that means less homework, and more free time to prep.

AND remember than you have to be absolutely 100% honest and as harsh as needed. The comic isn't going to benefit if you don't give it anything to improve on!2011-05-12 18:07:00

And after a couple of days anxiously waiting for someone to send in a critique... nothing. ;_;

Come on, PEOPLE!! This is your chance to finally bash me on something I like to brag about!!... and to be brutally honest and unrelenting in your words and have no consequences!...

Just think: you'll be able to get the inside look on this epic project we've been working for the past few months on. You'll be able to see the in-depth process that we do when making the comic itself, plus access to the main story itself and other unrevealed stuff, waaay before anyone else. And, when you think about it, you can brag that you're part of this epic comic once it hits big... and that much, I can promise you.

Maybe we need a picture to draw some attention back to here...

By all means, go ahead; at this rate, you might be the only applicant.

Well, let's look you over for a minute:
- You're quite active around here, so no need to worry about you being gone for long periods of time
- You participate in The Console Wars (heck, even more than I do xD), so you got a good comprehension of story flow and other elements
- I'm certain you already have half of the team on your friends' list (and on PSN as well)
- And... well, it looks like you haven't gotten anything better to do!

Just give the story a read. At least then, if you're not competent enough to apply for the critic position, you'll get a nice hint at what we've been working on (and a good lil' story to boot, imo).

I have already read the story, and I'm thinking on how and what to critique. Maybe I'll try later. (or tomorrow)

I finished up my critique, but I fear sending it in because I don't want to spoil the entire story for myself. But at the same time, I know it will be so rewarding when I get to help/work with you guys.

Ok, I'm re-reading the script and taking note of the flaws I may find. Then I'll develop them and send the PM. Might not finish today, though.

EDIT: Sent.

Jack: (whistling) Dupa-dupa-dooo...
*Jack looks over inbox, sees tidal wave of critiques*
*Jack cringes at the sight, with one eye twitching*
Jack: (seething) FFFFFFFFFFFF-
*Jack furiously presses several different buttons on the webpage, redirecting his attention to the "New Position for Comic Project" thread*
Jack: (typing, mad) FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, I'M GONE FOR ONE DAY AND I GET ALL OF THIS!! I SWEAR, I-
*Jack stops for a moment, rethinking statement*
*Jack suddenly realizes situation, feels much more grateful*
Jack: (typing, relieved) Thanks for all of the input. Now... gotta get readin'.
*Jack diverts attention back to critiques, now rather embarrassed at his outburst*

Just remember that you can only send in one, so make them count.

I've read through the script before and I have half an hour now before I need to leave for my exam, enough time to produce something of decent quality...

Okey-dokey. I don't wanna sound critical or anything, buuut...

If you haven't turned in your critique yet, you've got t-minus 3 hours and 31 minutes to send them in.

So, if you're still interested... GET CRACKIN'!! This officially closes at 11:59 PM PST!

Read below.

Sorry for the double-post bump, but I just wanted to say something before people start to get crossed or upset.

The team has made it's decision, and... MrFunctionality has been chosen for the spot. It was quite difficult to make a decision since, arguably, everyone's submissions were good. However, in the end, we felt that MrFunc had the best credentials, and is now part of the team.

Once again, I'd love to thank everyone for their participation in this, everyone who's been supporting this project since the beginning, and the team for allowing me to do this (tbh, I thought this was gonna end badly like last time xD). If it weren't for the generous support and participation of you guys, all of our hard world would be dead in the water.

So on behalf of Refugee Publishing, thanks for your help, and... see you next time.

Lol, the guy who spent a half hour on it got the job.

Anyways, congrats MrFunctionality. Hopefully this can speed up production.

Can't wait for the first issue.

Thirty minutes was a tad optimistic, especially after spending half of that time allowance on a shoddy piece about myself. So I allowed myself around fifteen extra minutes on my critique, missing my pre-exam briefing in the process :/ Thank you for the congratulations and I can assure you that these guys aren't just banging rocks together back here
