Round Two Reviews - Special Edition - Classic Who

[azriona]

Today, We Bring You a Special Feature:For this round, as we established the comm and found our feet as reviewers, we focused on the New Who categories, as that's where we're most comfortable. Two of our reviewers are familiar with Classic Who, and were able to review a few of those stories. Thus, we bring you the following reviews. With luck (

Thanks so much for the really lovely review! :)

[wendymr]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked it - and I am very glad I read your story, because I loved it.

Thank you so very much for that fantastic review. I was absolutely thrilled to receive it.

[wendymr]

You're very welcome! I'm really sorry - I don't know which of the reviews was of your story, because I don't recognise your LJ nick. So, of course, I don't know if the review was written by me or dark_aegis - but, regardless, I'm glad you liked it :)

[theformofstars]

Yeah, I just had the realization that you might not know. The thanks was left for you though! I wrote 'She Will Not Die...' and just felt like telling you that both the reviews you left were so appreciated and left me bouncing.

[wendymr]

That was yours? I'm so thrilled, because - as you can probably tell from my comments on Teaspoon as much as the review - I loved this story. It left me seriously moved, and with such a strong visual of Romana in that situation. This story deserves a lot more appreciation than it seems to have had (on Teaspoon, at any rate; I don't know about LJ), and I hope the awards will make that happen.

Congratulations again on your nomination!

Thank you for the review of Loves them all, I hadn't expected to be getting one what with it being in an Old Who catergory so it was a lovely surprise to find.

You're very welcome! I loved it - Three was my very first Doctor, so I almost felt like Sarah Jane in my excitement at 'meeting' him again. I'm glad you liked the review :)

Hello

[wendymr]

Hi :) And thank you very much indeed for coming back, in all sincerity. I'm delighted that you're glad to see these reviews. Honestly, I'd love to be able to review more in the Classic Who category - as I hope you can tell, I really enjoyed the stories I did review, and they took me back to very happy times in my childhood watching Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker on screen. But there's a limit to what two of us can do (and, while dark_aegis would have liked to review more in this section, she had surgery on her eyes recently and is still recovering).

You were absolutely right to comment on our introduction last time around - I think we all agreed that it could have been better-worded to avoid misunderstandings, and I personally take some responsibility for that as I read it over before the post went up and just didn't see the potential.

Since it's obvious that you love Classic Who, and you also appreciate good fic, I wonder if you would consider reviewing for us? With a bigger staff next time around, we really hope to cover all categories - and

I'd like to re-iterate what Wendy has said above - thank you for returning, and thank you for commenting, both times. You were right, things could have been worded more appropriately - and I took your comments to heart, and this introduction is what resulted.

We really do hope to have more reviews in the next round - not just Classic Who, but Torchwood and SJA as well. I hope you'll continue to come back and see how you do.

Or, perhaps, help us. You can write well, you obviously care about Classic Who and how it is presented, and you have a sensible head on your shoulders. I hope you'll consider it. We'd very much like you to give us a hand.

And if not -- then your feedback is always appreciated. Not just now and then - but every time.

Thank you.
