Do the payments and read the payment rules to ensure your album gets reviewed!
PAYMENTS:
- Permanent follow to your host & judge, Ravendipity (don't worry, I don't post announcements often, so I won't clog your notifs)
- Add this contest to a public or private library
Due to the amount of people who backed out of my summer contests, I want to emphasize that the follow is permanent, even if you back out. I have had to scrap three full novels worth of reviews (by word count) due to people backing out and deleting their books (without telling me). Please do not sign up if you anticipate wanting to back out or delete your book(s).
I'm sorry if this seems strict, but I think you would feel similarly if you've had to scrap over 100k words because of people not communicating with you and had to deny people slots in your contests only for others to back out and open up those slots that could have gone to those rejected individuals.
Also, I allow editing, so please do not back out for editing. You can do it while in this contest except for when I am judging your category.
If you are following from a different account, please list it here ---->
OPTIONAL PAYMENTS:
These are all optional and appreciated, but not required.
- Tag people in your forms to help spread word of this contest
- Post this contest on your message board to let your followers know about it!
- Consider voting on this contest if you like it and want to see more like it
- Consider leaving some comments to help boost this book in the algorithm
- Consider sharing the link to this contest to some friends you think might be interested
- Follow Seamlesslove to show thanks for her help with designing prizes for you guys, and also to thank her for her help in making this contest come to light! It wouldn't be here without her!
PAYMENT RULES:
- It is a permanent follow, meaning you must remained followed even after the contest is over. You will be receiving multiple permanent prizes from me, so it is only fair that the core payment is permanent as well.
- I do contests often, so if you like this contest enough to want to submit to it, your follow will be rewarded with access to all of my future contests, my review shop, my interview book, and all my other services. From now on, all of my contests will only have a follow and reading list addition as the two payments, nothing else, so I'm not kidding when I say following me grants you access to all of my future contests.
- If you do not do the payments before submitting the form (you don't even have to click off the book to do them, folks, please just do them prior to submitting the form), you will be delayed. I will not accept your form, even if you do the payments right after doing your form, for 24 hours.
- If you dislike follows in return for reviews, that is fine, to each their own, but then do not sign up, please. It is how I run all my contests, so your opinion on it is not going to change my mind. Please just don't sign up if you disagree with this payment.
- The library is not permanent, so you can remove it after I'm done judging all the categories you're in, if you'd like. It is mostly there for your benefit, not mine. It is so you get notified when I make announcements about this contest.
- If you are someone who is going to unfollow just because you didn't win or because the review isn't all praise, don't bother signing up. That is extremely disrespectful to all the time and effort I'm putting in to give you a detailed review and prizes. None of my reviews have ever been all praise. Everyone always gets both positives and negatives, so if you are not prepared to read constructive criticism, do not sign up. Not everyone likes or wants criticism, and that's absolutely okay, but please do not disrespect my time by signing up if you are someone who does not want criticism or is going to unfollow because A) you didn't win or B) you didn't like the review.
AKA: Not liking your review is not a valid reason to unfollow me.
- I am no longer doing public blacklists; however, I still have a private blacklist for all my award host besties and fellow judges, so if any of the rules are broken repeatedly, you will be added to the blacklist and barred from countless contests.
- Don't worry, you have to try to be placed on the blacklist. Just don't be mean and you should be fine.
- You will receive two warnings about unfollows within reason (i.e., if you unfollow twice then don't unfollow again for another, say, six months, then I'm not cruel, I'll ask you about it).
- If you unfollow me because of a glitch or unfollow then refollow spree and you inform me about it before I notice, it will not count toward your warnings. If you refollow before I notice even if you don't tell me about it, that also will not count toward your warnings, though I'd appreciate it if you informed me.
- If Wattpad deletes all the books you have in this contest, and you can provide proof of this (Wattpad will send you a message if they remove your books), then I have no problem with you unfollowing.
- If you delete the book(s) submitted here and/or back out, then you must remain followed as you are inconveniencing me.
- Please try not to back out, or at least find someone to take your place if you do. I understand emergencies and changes in mindset happen, though please try to avoid backing out if possible. In the event you back out, I will follow you on my second account and keep in contact with you since most people only back out due to lack of confidence, and I don't ever want to make you feel nervous about joining my awards.
- That being said, you are not allowed to back out while I am judging your category. I will announce what categories I am judging in this book when I announce results, so that's why having it in your library is beneficial. I will also no longer allow backouts when the contest is more than halfway complete because by that point I start judging every category. I don't allow this because of the whole review scrapping thing I mentioned earlier where I'm tired of having to delete thousands upon thousands of words.
- Some of these rules might seem strict, though I guarantee you I'm not as strict as I seem. You can send me a Jimin picture and I'd be wrapped around your finger. All I ask is please respect my rules and two payments, one of which not even being permanent. I try to make them as low as possible so it's as accessible as possible to everyone.
