Hello,

I have written 2 reviewers so far seeking greenlight without any replies for over a month (both of which say they will get back to a writer within a week). I tried using the discord but the toxicity on the there is so insane that I left the server after 1 week, and trying to use chat room is all kinds of difficult for me. Id ask you but it says u don't really enjoy my story type and rarely give a green light, are there any other suggestions I've missed possibly?

Have you tried asking to swap reviews with other authors in the mainsite forums?

I haven't had anyone send a reply on my 1st initial request and only you have replied on my initial forum post advising me on what I needed to correct.

Of note, the user has a forum thread here: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17164022/seeking-greenlight-the-vault which originally exceeded the maximum wordcount, and also has multiple post bumps.

Also, when I asked Discord staff about the user, it was noted:

Same user, same profile pic

Dude claims to have used the discord, but he never sent a single message in his time there

So if he DID contact moths, he was ignored because he obviously had no thread nor greenlights

The most recent exchange with the user was:

Again, have you tried asking to swap reviews with other authors in the mainsite forums? Also, whom have you reached out to, and when did you post in the Discord?

My apologies, i dont know what you mean by ""swap reviews with other authors", This is the 1st time ive ever done this on the site baring the anomaly i wrote in 2007 on 4chan (not the Sculpture). But so far i've written to PlaguePJP on 7/25 and before that i wrote to Dianaberry on 7/20, but i didnt want y'all to think i was spamming or trying to bog down the reviewers so i stopped.

In the discord i am very…hesitant to say the least, to write anyone. The reason for this is because the amount of toxicity on there is quite staggering and i am uncertain if someone will mistaken my simple exchange for trolling, i have watched 3 people get banned for very odd things that dont seem like trolling so i figured the best bet would be to just remain silent for now until i get some guidance on who to message and how to approach them…

"My apologies, i dont know what you mean by ""swap reviews with other authors","

Contact an author via private message and ask if they would be willing to review something you have written, in exchange for you reviewing something they have written.

"But so far i've written to PlaguePJP on 7/25 and before that i wrote to Dianaberry on 7/20, but i didnt want y'all to think i was spamming or trying to bog down the reviewers so i stopped."

You can avoid the potential issue of spamming by spacing out your requests, and if you haven't heard back from a reviewer by the time you contact someone new, just sent the previous reviewer a quick message noting that you'll also be contacting someone else for critique.

This is something you would need to speak with the Discord staff about; I don't have any jurisdiction over how the Discord server and its policies are managed.

Sent me another PM:

-Contact an author via private message and ask if they would be willing to review something you have written, in exchange for you reviewing something they have written-

I could try this but I thought I had to have had at least one green lit story to request it?

-You can avoid the potential issue of spamming by spacing out your requests, and if you haven't heard back from a reviewer by the time you contact someone new, just sent the previous reviewer a quick message noting that you'll also be contacting someone else for critique -

I'll remember to keep this in mind for the future…

So I was wondering, I know you don't Greenlight many but what would you say about reviwing my anomaly? It seems to be right up your ally…

If you are asking for concept critique, you don't need greenlights. Are you not asking for concept critique?

"So I was wondering, I know you don't Greenlight many but what would you say about reviwing my anomaly? It seems to be right up your ally…"

What about your material is "right up my alley"?

Mine isn't just a concept critique. I've already written the whole thing (well most of it), from what I understood of the guidelines to get a Greenlight for a new Anomaly and I've never officially had a story greenlit, I thought I had to go thru the whole process from beginning (critique), to the end (the full article on sandbox). I was just trying to do it the right way… Unless of course it's all wrong and I totally misunderstood, then I apologize.

As for my Anomaly being right up your ally, for one it's not horror, it's under 3000 words, I thought my clinical description seemed to be what you might like and it's definitely a fantasy type genre, which according to your butterfly squad thing is what you enjoy. The only thing that might not be to your liking is it's not a super short one m. I tend to be very meticulous in my articles and try to make them make sense in the world of which they are portrayed from.

"Mine isn't just a concept critique."

Previously you asked me for assistance finding greenlighters. Greenlights are only given on concepts, not full drafts. I recommend that you go through the greenlighting process first, before asking for feedback on a full draft.

"As for my Anomaly being right up your ally, for one it's not horror, it's under 3000 words"

Sorry, I don't review first-time drafts that do not have greenlights. Furthermore, your messages to me consistently have several simple writing errors, which is a significant reviewer deterrent.

Lmao ok… That's what I thought. Thank you for this, it has really helped with a decision I needed to make, that will be all. I request no further communication from you and I hope you have a good day.
