Comment from Bill Schott
This rictameter, Don't Panic, has the correct 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8,6,4,2 format and adds an ice pack for the writer with the headache having received less than supreme feedback from reviewers. Each reviewer has a viewpoint and MAY have help in his/her utility belt. We learn from everyone.

Comment from Joan E.
I have not read a rictameter in some time and yours is a good model, particularly for FanStorians. Your clever illustration is a nice touch too. Best wishes in the competition and have a pleasant Sunday- Joan

Comment from Liz O'Neill
Reviews reviews. That is what I'm realizing. I was a teacher so I look at the numbers a marks. 6 A+ 5 A 4 B 3 C...so very few 6's ...in this group, mostly A's...once in a great while a 4. It would have to be very wanting to give them a 3. I like how you chose this for the subject matter for your poem. It certainly draws the reader in on this site. You have accomplished quite a feat to write in the required pattern of syllables and come up with such a conversation piece. I enjoyed this and it got me thinking and elaborating upon my own experience. And that's one of the goals of literature. Sorry, I have to give you a 5 rather than a 3 or 4...it's just that clever.

Comment from Janilou
I really wish I had a six left to give you!
I couldn't agree more!
'Learn that fruitful three is better
Than a five given in civility '
Exactly! I would rather see a three or four star review with helpful and constructive advice than the "fluff" reviews that award five stars but actually say nothing really good or bad about the work.
Not to say I don't love getting those fives and sixes. But not unless they're earned. I would not have progressed as a writer to where I am today if I hadn't received those 3-4 star reviews by reviewers who spent their precious time pointing out where I was making mistakes. Still do make more than I'd like too.
I hope a lot of Fan-Storians read this especially the bewer members.
All the best,
Jan
PS I didn't see any errors or corrections needed in this piece. :-)
I once heard a very true statement.
"There's no such thing as good writing. Only good re-writing."
