The scale
I have created the idea for a scale of measuring how good a story is. It's grounded in five parts. They are as follows:
1. Spelling and Grammar 2. Description 3. Originality 4. Alibidonous 5. Length Yes, I've just coined the term "Alibidonous". Allow me to explain: 1. SPELLING AND GRAMMAR: (30 pts.) If you run a story through Microsoft Word, odds are you'll get some sort of red or green line underneath the words. True, there are some certain things like sentence fragments that are understanble. That's poetic licence. But for every incomprehensible error marking, we should deduct half a point from the "final score". So a post with six spelling and grammar errors will have three points taken away. Seem fair? 2. DESCRIPTION (30 pts.) Consider the two possible ways of describing a walk at nighttime. "It was night. The girl went out of her house, and walked down the street." "On that one beautiful moonlit night, the stars shone brightly. Jessica slipped out of her house, and stared into the sky. It was cold, and she wished she'd brought a jacket. The stars were pinholes of light in her dark mood right now. Jessica wore a blue T-Shirt, and a white skirt. She remembered the last time she slipped out at night like this- it always had a calming effect on her. She sauntered down the road, wondering what would await her..." Things to add:
(happy- http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/happy/) (go- http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/go/) (good- http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/good/) (like- http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/like/)
3. ORIGINALITY (30 pts.) How many stories involve taking pictures and blackmail? I know mine does. But within the story itself, mine is very different from, say- Insanity's (whose? never mind.) "Sarah's First Time as a Slave". So my suggestion for this is totally how new the plot or the dares or the ordeals are. Half should go to real plot (15 points for what major things happen- boy takes picture of girl. Blackmails her. Uses her as sex slave. Lets her go. She is changed, for the better.) and half should go to the things done (ex. ageplay, petplay, whipping, torture, etc...) 4. ALIBIDONOUS (20 pts.) I've created this term to mean "not neccesarily having to do with the libido." This basically means, not just about sex. If your story is a story solely focused around the ultamite rape or consentual sex of a blackmailed woman, it is taking away from the other peices of the story (e.g. how she reacts, his/her inner psychology, other horrible things he makes her do, etc...) It doesn't neccesarily have to do all with sex. Sex can be involved, but I don't think it should be the basis of the story. 5. LENGTH (20 pts.) Short posts are frustrating. It's common knowledge. It may be annoying, but post longer please. Thank you. But too long is also annoying. (Reallllllllllllllllllllllllly long- 15 pts. Very Long- 20 Long- 15 Medium- 10 Short- 0/5) TIPS
