This is a "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. review!



Hello, StephBee!

*Checkb*Overall Impression:
This is a classic, but it's still very impressive!

*Checkb*Title and Description:
The title is unique (although I'm sure everyone just called it "The Sandbox"?). The description looks like it fit well and gave WdC members the information they needed to determine if they wanted to check it out.

*Checkb*Content:
It seems the tools and code we have now weren't around when this was created (this isn't a jab at you; it's something I've noticed across the forums I've been reviewing for Game of Thrones). I do have to say the image took me back to when I first learned Photoshop and made my very first scrapbook. In context, though, and compared to the forums I've seen, it was an impressive decoration.

You've used color and spacing nicely, along with section dividers (thank you!) to help keep the content readable and easy to find. It's very cool you offered up your judging guidelines as well.

Four thousand word limit!?!? You are a braver person than I. That must have been a Herculean task to judge! The rules are all clearly laid out, but I honestly can't get past the word limit. That is so incredibly generous and had to take up a significant amount of time. I don't even have time to write a 4,000-word story, let alone judge a bunch of them.

I did want to check out the winners, but unfortunately, it was not to be, as they've become invalid items over the years. After scrolling down, I realized it's been eleven years since the contest went dormant. I swear, the older I get, the less concept I have over how long ago things happened —even though it clearly says it was last edited in 2013.

*Checkb*Final Thoughts:
It looks like this was a fun and generous contest, and I'm sorry that life demanded you close it. However, you're still here and active, and that's what matters most to the community.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!
