No It's cool. Deleted and Edited:

I agree TrainerCasey... I'm super excited to start training my Elekid so I can take on some dojos and gyms. I think I'm going for a Squirtle and then a Porygon next.

HAHAno. That wouldn't really solve, or help anything. Graders will still grade at their own pace and if people wanted to write a story then they can write it anyway and save it to their computer, then when one gets graded and an opening appears people will race for it, and bla and bla bla and blablabla. Just doesn't sound like a great idea to be honest, and will cause more problems than needed.

Your edit made that little bit really confusing @.@

Also, word of advice, don't write for mart mons if you can do story deals and get them free with already bought TM's :] (it's what I do)

Yes that xD. If you want a mart mon and your going to write for one, let me know and I can buy/TM one for you.

I can see your point. I just thought it might be a bit useful, but I understand what you mean. But there went from being about three stories waiting to fifteen in a few days!

Yep, writers got a little active. Just have patience and wait for a grader to come around to your story. Or do what I do and personally ask a grader to grade your story.

Well, it has been a week now so I guess I can look for a grader to grade my MAGIKARP STORY :D

This was a story deal.

I could care less about the money. My grade length was based on the most important feedback relative to the story. Taras Bulba made a very good post on the last page. +100 grader points to her.

Yay! But... I'm male...
(The Internet anonymity effect strikes again! Heh heh.)

Also, Zombie Muse, were you asking me in particular to grade "Mother?" I could if you wanted me to.

Oh, haha. I had asked Alaska if she would and she said she'd be glad to when she gets the time to, so I would say no because well... that, HOWEVER, I'd love for you to 'grade' it. Read it give me feedback via PM (you know, grammar, tense, type-os, and such) I've read over and proofread some of it, but not all, and it's always great for the story if a grader had proofread it and given feedback before the actual grade.

A proofreading run? Okay, I can do that. It might be a day or two though.

Perfectly fine, and also thanks!

I'd like to request a grade for The Morale Highground Part 2 and Haunted- The Prologue.

Also, could there be a list of which graders are working on stories, so we know who to request them personally from?

I think that it changes a little too often for a list to be much good; a better way would be to look at the most recent threads with replies other than the thread starter, and see if said replies are grades, or simply claims.

Or, you could just pick a favorite grader or two to request from; apparently some graders only do so on request. Having a list of those might well be helpful.

Perhaps a list of recent grades done by which graders (only successful ones, if people really care), sorted by level of difficulty of capture, similar to the list of successful captures. That way, people would know who would grade what types of work. For instance, I've noticed that Scourge prefers to grade the incredibly long ones, while other graders lean towards mid-length stories.

Personally, I think thats a good idea. If a grader is just getting started, They should be able to easily find a shorter story to start with. And if a grader has been here a while, they should be able to go to a story that provides a challenging grade.

I personally think that in this list or in a list they should put what graders will only grade on request or if they will just grade when they want to. Because if a grader only grades on request then that means that alot of talent is being wasted as no one would ask them as they wouldnt know who to ask.
