h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am asking for six pages to be volunteered for critics to practice on.

They have to be what YOU THINK h2g2 are after and writen in your own style and not trying to copy the style of others.

I would like just 6 at this time. One page per person - DON'T BE GREEDY.

If you would like a page used in this experiment:

Type the page heading and it's link and that's all

Thanks vegiman

Have a go on http://www.h2g2.com/A54262 if you like.

You could try mine on Parenthood and if I've got the right one it's

http://www.h2g2.com/P91315

Although I submitted it, I have changed it a little since then.

Good - THREE DOWN WITH THREE TO GO
Then we can get started

Only one? Then I shall pick one of the three at random.

Fire - http://www.h2g2.com/P117749

This is an excellent idea, BTW, and I look forward to your comments. If anyone would like to look at Life (P116795) and Genetic Algorithms (P118469) in their spare time, please don't hesitate

TIA

FOUR DOWN - TWO TO GO:

Don't be shy - You could end up with a masterpiece - choose from any page you have already written / submitted / unsubmitted / or just finished.

Just type the page title and page number. Thanx

Well, I'm open to reviews on any page I've submitted, but my favorite and closest to my heart is -

Poetry - http://www.h2g2.com/P93584

When I wrote it I did not know there were other submissions for this topic(I wrote it my first day here), but.. O'Well ;}
Since I've dedicated most of my life to this, I kind of feel like I should be given ownership rights or something.

Not only do I think this is a great idea, I think I'll offer my humble services as best I can. I often review and critique poems, and have several people e-mail me theirs for this reason, so hopefully I can do as well with H2G2 entries. I think I possess most of ZachsMind's credentials, except I don't spell all that well, and I don't have much time to devote to this project.

Thanx Sparrow Hawk

With your entry I only need one more. Then I will get started on the links.

But will I be left adrift on a foreign beach (again)

Would this do? I think you have a right to know what it is your actually ordering from Grattans Catalogue http://www.h2g2.com/P118522 .

Thanks a lot guys. SIX DOWN and Ready to start.

There will actually be seven, I will be putting one in myself - Cooks perks.

I will be posting details over the weekend - I have asked for permission to use the h2g2 logo for this little jaunt. No response so far which is good news, I posted the request earlier in the week and said if I do not get their dissaproval, I will use it.

The page I enter is:
http://www.h2g2.com/P96851

and if you have a look at this now - I have started the critic fun run layout- when completed I will post links to you. Then we advertise the event wherever we can.

We will see what response we get.

Until then I wish you all the best and hope you will gain from the experiment. vegiman

Ok Vegiman! Finally got the right page. I did an article on poetry as well which was more light hearted. Try http://www.h2g2.com/p71128

Ok Ginger I'll slip you in - NO MORE VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED or it will be too long winded.

It shall be asking volunteers to post a few forums at the bottom of their chosen pages - Their names and what it initially says will be posted here soon. DON'T DO IT YET.

By you posting the first posting will make sure all responses will be posted on your home pages. This way you can keep an eye on what is happening.

Watch out for further postings here - Hope to start it next weekend and although the esperiment will be ongoing. I think a week of responses should give us a better insight to the success of the venture.

All the best vegiman

Hooks out, Fish caught. Breath bates. Crowd gathers. Wait is the cry, eat cake not bread. Moulding continues

We could always start the Mexican wave while we wait - but then again electronically it may not work, heres for nothing though - try copy and paste - see what happens!!!

I think this'll do - it was the best I could do - if anyone can make a better one, I'll be impressed!!

Hi gang, how's it going? I had a review a few days ago but I don't think it was a bona fide critique. Any news?

I am still working on it, and you can see the front page I am working on as I speak at:
http://www.h2g2.com/P90398

Still needs more work and checking.

Hi guys.
Sorry It has taken so long to get started. I have had an extra lot to do workwise and less time to organise this.

You will notice I have placed a number of Forums at the base of your chosen pages. They have links leading from the beginning of the fun run to the end (Thats noval).

It wasn't too easy and I had to make a few corrections. If you find any of the links incorrect, please let me know.

I will be putting one more forum there today called LINKS. If you could Copy and Paste the second Posting to the foot of your page, it will make life a lot easier for those following the links.

When you have altered your page with the new links please let me know on this forum, that you have done so. Thanks for being patient.
