The Slender Review
Confused by the stupid amount of blogs? THIS TOPIC IS FOR YOU

A couple of you probably already know, but in the "Critical Mass" thread, people were discussing the exponential rate that Slender Stories have been coming out as of late. And I'm sure a lot of you are feeling it's getting unmanageable. (I know I'm having trouble managing keeping up with EMH alone. Granted, I'm mostly reading the thread for more news about Vince's beard.) A couple of countermeasures were suggested, including the rather draconian measure of limiting the stories on the forum. A terrifying prospect for people who've been thinking about starting a story.

Me and a couple people disagreed, and decided to do something EVEN MORE TERRIFYING.

That's right.

We started a literary magazine.

http://slendereview.blogspot.com/

We're here to review the cream of the Slenderblogs, so that you don't need to troll through the millions of "NEW SLENDER STORY OMG" threads on this forum. Hopefully, by doing this, we can get the undiscovered jewels of the format discovered; and thus, improve the genre as a whole. Yay us.

I'll leave my partners in crime to introduce themselves if they wish to. But, any time you discover a series that you think is good (yes, this includes all of you Slenderwriters who have 'discovered' a Slenderblog and are trying to get it some recognition), drop me a PM at these forums, and I'll give it a read, and hopefully, I can get it a little bit more discussion.

Meh, your review of SEESME sounds much better than mine Laughing

And, hi there! I'll try to review some of the stories, too. Feel free to suggest storys, which you want to see reviewed.

Why don't you also take a look at some of the lesser known vlogs as well? I've seen a few with some potential......even though most are crap.

Since they are lesser known, I don't now which ones you're talking about. Wink Just post the link to some of them, and we'll see what we can do.

*TERRIFIED*

This idea, it is awesome. Will you be focusing on the really good stories, or are you also going to be critiquing the mediocre ones and doing takedowns of the worst? I for one would love to see all three. Very Happy

Glad to see someone is trying to help offer a few insights into the swarm of new Slenderblogs and vlogs to help us finicky readers pick good ones. I pretty much read none of the new ones cause I never know which are good or bad.

One thing I would offer as advice: try to give priority to the lesser known. The lesser known a blog is, the more it deserves to be reviewed, good or bad. This is because, more well known ones like Observe and Report will already have a few people talking about it that others can draw opinions from. Some blogs don't have a single commenter.

Either way, good luck to you.

Personally, I'm just going to be starting off with the good ones; just because this is all about easy access to quality work. Plus, for the moment, I'd rather build up some of the good existing ones, then tear down some of the less good ones. It's just not constructive. Maybe a little further down the track.

Actually I'd prefer it if the Slendy Reader did a mix of the obscure and the popular. I follow a bunch of vlogs but I've barely gotten into the blogs because there's so damn many of them, I don't even know which of the popular ones are any good.

Having a mix of ongoing blogs and high-quality blogs that have finished would also be good.

Have to agree with awakeasaurusrex's assessment here. Please do some of the popular ones, too, and explain why they're popular. I've limited myself to a few of the blogs(Seeking Truth, The Tutorial, Testing 1, 2, 3, and Observe and Terminate, for the most part), EMH, TribeTwelve, and Marble Hornets, and those last three are forum-favorites. I'd like to see what the draw is to the popular ones, because that can help us explain it better to newcomers to the mythos.

Don't forget to hit the classics so newcomers will learn about them, like Just Another Fool.

Today, I'm going to review "Observe and Terminate". Disregard this, I'm stupid xD

Maybe I'll get into one of the vlogs when I'm back at home. Thanks for listing them up, Punk V



SolDL: Get out of my head Laughing

Looking for another blog to review, brb...

Okay, I'm gonna write something about "No Escape From Reality" and "Testing". No Escape is pretty short (and bad), so that won't be much work. Testing seems to be bigger, so it's balanced =) Of course it's up to Sol, if he wants to publish a "negative" review by now Wink

Aaaand: last edit. I'm finally done with my reviews. Still not at home, though, so reviewing a vlog probably won't happen today =)

TWITTER

I agree with you but from my personal experience, it bought 10000 Twitter followers from www.socialkik.com and they added them to my page in a little over 2 month. All the followers appeared to be real and some of them turned out to be great customers.
