Then again maybe he could find a way to disembowel your legs, bears are sneaky like that...I mean bears and wonderful and great and please don't hurt me

I don't know. I like bears. I mean, not the whole mauling, claw-your-face-off-for-a-picnic-basket part, but bears are cool.

And ok. NeighbourhoodGuest told me it would be a senior person, but I wanted to double check who that was. I suppose it would have to be senior to read my 71,000character story :P

Most of the newbies avoid stories that long. I actually have my eye on it... I'm attempting to beat Neighborhood's grader wages record ('cause he stole my old one) next grading period. That involves ten or so Extensive-level grades, which need 50k+ level stories. SO.

Well, I have a story I'm working on for two Aron, which'll be around 50k; I'm also in the market for an Absol, Scyther, and Aerodactyl, so I'll totally help you out best I can. :D

Because we all know how true it is?

Well, partly because of how adorably condescending it is; partly for how true it may be.

At least, as one of the newest graders, I'm still at the top of the bucket. :D

How come if a story needs a regrade, it gets thrown to the very top of the list?

If you're talking about my list, it doesn't. If you mean the thread, they probably just posted in their story that it needs a regrade, but either way it shouldn't matter. The person who first graded the story is the one to regrade them.

I mean, I've seen storyies written, and then graded. Then I see them rewritten after other stories, and then they are regraded way before others are. For example, say I write a story in May. It gets a bad grade, and I rewrite it in June, and it then is graded, while stories in May are still waiting. I don't really see how that is fair.

Good point. At least for me, a regrade is quicker than a grade, since I already know the story from before. But i guess if it was a major plot change or something it wouldn't be fair, but if it was something like paragraphing and grammar, i can see a quick re-grade.

Though, its somewhat like a person who posted a incomplete story on May 25th, but then finished it June 16th, so i see the concern.

But then, regrades can only be done by a specific grader, while ungraded grades can be picked up by anyone.

Another grader could give a regrade to a story if the origonal grader has dissapeared, or something.

Also a regrade is an informal grade that usually is about as long as this post (unless the grader still sees some problems and contiues to fial the story then it's probably longer), it's quick and easy and a grader can do it in about 5-10 minutes.

It's good to know I am unique then :P I don't mind being in between two graders, as long as I get my Dragonite :P
