It's me Dark Dan. This idea came to me when I tried making my own sp site. It didn't turn out the way I expected. (Note: Buy a web editor! Never try to write html by hand!) Well I still reallywanted to review fics so here it is. Enjoy!

Dark Dan's Fanfic Review Guidelines

	-corresponds to South Park
This means that you can imagine this happening in South Park. For example you
would get low points if one scene was like this:
-Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny are at the bus stop-
Stan: Are you gentlemen happy that it's hug day?
Cartman, Kenny, and Kyle: Yeah!
Cartman: Everyone Group Hug!
-They hug-
Now if this is what I reviewed you would get a 0 in this category and I would
print it out and burn it to ashes!
10-9. You lived the lives of the characters.
8-7. You've seen all of the episodes good job.
6-5. You've seen most of the episodes.
4-3. You have some catching up to do.
2-1. Strap yourself in front of the TV and watch South Park for one straight
month.
0: Jump off a cliff.
	-Originality
This is very important! To get a good grade on this you need to have an
original plot, because I've seen a lot of fics like Mecha-(Enter Celebrity
here) And the visitors return. Also I've seen a lot of fics that the Author's
can't think of original sayings, and have sayings from the real South Park
episodes and the actual writers just put in "if" "and" and "of".
Here is a list of possible fics that would get a 0:
The revenge of the visitors
Mecha-(Enter Celebrity here)
Pip goes mad
South Park vs. North Park
etc.
(note: Catch phrases are okay.)
10-9. You should write a novel.
8-7. You will get a lot of positive feedback.
6-5. You have some good ideas keep it up.
4-3: Try and think up some original plots.
2-1: How many times have you've been in trouble with the copyright police?
0: Jump off a big cliff.
	-Is it better than South Park?
I thought of this when reading a South Park script (I don't have Comedy
Central. It's sad isn't it?) Anyway halfway through it a thought popped into my
head "Hey wait a minute this is a real episode!" I though I was reading an
average fanfic. Then I found that a lot of fan-fic writers can blow Trey and
Matt (Unless they have writers) right out of the water.
10-9: You should have access to Trey and Matt's secret lair.
8-7: What's the point of watching South Park if your this good?
6-5: You should start writing your job application.
4-3: You fanfic is filed under "fanfics".
2-1: This is no good. Why don't you work for Trey and Matt?
0: Jump off a very big cliff.
	-Balance
This is not a real biggy all it means is that all your jokes are evenly spaced
out in your fanfic. If you have all your jokes crammed at the end you might
lose your readers in the boring parts.
10-9: (How would you write a joke about balance?)
8-7: (See 10-9)
6-5: (See 8-7)
4-3: (See 6-5)
2-1: (See 4-3)
0: Jump off a huge cliff.
	-Humor
A good fanfic needs good humor. (Actually I made that up.) But it's always a
good idea to have a funny fic. (Actually I made that up too.)
10-9: No fair us fanfic writers can't compete with comedians.
8-7: Maybe you should try making a British royal guard laugh.
6-5: Your funny. (What else can I say?)
4-3: I think I smiled for a second.
2-1: Have you considered writing fanfics for soap operas?
0: Jump off the end of the universe.
	-Overall average
After I gave a score for each category they are averaged into your final score.
	-The scamps reviews
This is just a little bonus. Here is where Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny write
their own review. (Note: If you try and shoot for a good score from any of the
boys,  your fic can get screwed in my review.
Well that's all if you would like your fic to be reviewed I STRONGLY suggest that you e-mail me it! Then in my next fic at the end I will post a review. E-mail me at: [email]

Your post gets a 3-4. Maybe you should work for Matt or Trey. :)

Actually, shouldn't originality be about the actual plot, rather than a one line description of it? I'll give you an example.

Mecha-Streisand: Barbara Streisand turns into a Godzilla-like monster and destroys the town.

Mecha DiCrappio (This one's mine. For the record, it was the first fic sequel to it.) : Leonardo DiCaprio turns into a Godzilla-like monster and destroys the town.

However, ALL they have in common is that. I thought Mecha-Streisand totally sucked ass, but it had a good premise. I made the premise into a decent fic. The plots were completely different; for instance, in mine DiCrappio wasn't seeking it his whole life, it just flew into his bedroom and hit him in the head. He took a trip to South Park to sign autographs and captured all the women of the town under his insidious hypnotic spell, then used them as power to try and rule the world. He didn't even become a monster until very late in the fic -- the great majority of it was just about the kids trying to deal with all the girls in the town worshipping DiCaprio. Mecha-Streisand was basically plotless did not explain the Diamond, the Keepers or anything else. I did. The intent of my fic was to take the great premise of MS and turn it into something good, rather than the abomination that MS actually was. I'd say it deserves a 6 or 7 on the originality scale, rather than the 0 or 1 your scale would give it immediately. Judge things by the content, not by the surface.
