Scoring Points​

The point calculation formula is unchanged from last year.

Points = [Number of chapters reviewed] OR [Total Review Wordcount/250, rounded down], choose lower.

Wordcount calculated by this word counter. Review wordcount does not include quoted words from the story itself. If you plan on quoting from the story or from a different source (i.e. any words in the review that were not written by you), please use the TR quoting feature in order to make verifying your word count a little easier.

Sample Scenarios:
  • I write a 250 word review of a single chapter. I receive 1 point (1 chapter reviewed = 1 points; 250 words = 1 point; between 1 and 1, 1 is lower).
  • I write a 500 word review of a single chapter. I receive 1 point. (1 chapter reviewed = 1 points; 500 words = 2 points; between 1 and 2, 1 is lower).
  • I write a 250 word review of two chapters. I receive 1 point (2 chapters reviewed = 2 points; 250 words = 1 point; between 2 and 1, 1 is lower).
  • I write a 500 word review of two chapters. I receive 2 points (2 chapters reviewed = 2 points; 500 words = 2 points; between 2 and 2, 2 is lower).

Still confused? That’s okay. All you need to do is post a link to your review in the logging thread and we’ll handle the rest.

BONUSES
  • Repeat Bonus: for every three chapters of a chapterfic you review, you receive an additional bonus point!
    • Keep in mind that this is subject to the constraints of the point calculation formula. So a 500 word review covering three chapters of a story will not net you a bonus point, because the formula only counts that as a review of two chapters. However, if you reviewed again with a 250 word review, you would receive your bonus point for having reviewed three chapters.
    • This one is also calculated automatically, so no need to tally how many chapters you’ve been reading.
  • Weekly Theme Bonuses: these are claimable once per story per week, and are worth 0.5 points each time you claim them.
    • Week 1: New Faces! Review a story you haven’t reviewed before.
    • Week 2: Short n’ Sweet! Review a oneshot.
    • Week 3: Spread the Love! Review a chapter with less than four reviews. (Any chapter with less than four reviews at the start of week three qualifies.)
    • Week 4: Friendly Fire! Review a story by another participant in Blitz. (Anyone with points logged in this year’s Blitz at the time of your review counts as a participant.)
