PPC Posting Board - Re: On Permission (A Handy Tool)

Lease this WebApp and get rid of the ads.

Well, I don't actually consider myself ready to request Permission, mainly due to a lack of dedication. And I'm not sure how good my 'constructive criticism' was for the Royal Fanfiction Academy of Equestria since I didn't really get into characterizations or anything, but it was still there. And heck if I know how long I've been here, just vaguely around one year.

The test was a nice exercise, though. I just hope I didn't embarrass myself on the characterization question with the SO.

  Wow, this is actually really nice! Does this actually get sent anywhere when I hit "submit," or is it purely a mockup to help the applicant see the sort of things we're looking for?
- - It gets saved, yes. — Huinesoron, Thu May 10 2:25am
    
    But I'm the only person who can see it, and of course a) no usernames are recorded, b) you don't have to Submit at all, and c) GDocs spreadsheets are so badly formatted it would take a very good... more

    I could see the SO saying two of the three options depending on the circumstances, but there's no context, so it was sorta hard to decide between them.

    - - That's the point. ;) — Huinesoron, Thu May 10 2:24am
        
        If the questions didn't make you think, they wouldn't be worth answering. (For that question, as for several others, there is no 'right' answer - it's about whether you have the ability to reason one ... more

  I believe you asked the same question twice on the page called "Community Spirit: Let's All Get Along". The question in question is "Have you provided constructive criticism to a PPCer?" which... more

  Should you maybe put it on the Wiki, in some place that's easily accessible for people? And post it on multiple places? Well, in addition to adding it wherever you're going to put it, of course.

    Wow, that idea... that has shattered my whole perception of the world... ... :P I was waiting until people had pointed out the various inevitable mistakes/told me I'm an idiot before I went... more
