What do you think?

I think you need to read the Writing-Guidelines before submitting anything else to Peer Review.

The Edited Guide is intended as a serious(ish) factual encyclopedia, and I'm afraid there's no place for flights of whimsy.

That's not to say we don't encourage original writing on h2g2 - why not think of submitting your work to the <./>Underguide</.> or <./>ThePost</.>

We would kindly ask that you remove this from Peer Review and perhaps read some more Edited Guide entries to get a flavour of the thing we're looking for. Try this link: <./>RandomEditedEntry</.>

It's a bit too Douglas Adams Esq i think you should really get rid of this, try and write something more original story wise and put it in AWW. And please read the guidelines

I think Peer Review is the wrong place for this. I think you need to remove it from Peer Review and consider submitting it to the Alternative Writing Workshop. I think I may have liver and bacon for breakfast. I think I'll tidy up my apartment a bit today. I think I need to buy a slow cooker. I think I need a new sofa. I think I need to toss out that old wireless. I think the people who are putting up home-made posters of missing friends and family following the London bomb blasts are copying the people who did the same thing after the World Trade Centre attacks, and I don't think it's the British way of doing things.

Well, you did ask

I get the picture. Sorry about this, I was going to blame tha fact that I'm a noob, but that's a bit pathetic really.
And I think I should be careful what I ask.

One should always be very careful with one's words around h2g2 - there are a lot of pedants here Like me

And btw - when poetpaul says that you should 'get rid of this', I don't think he means that quite literally, as in entirely delete the entry from h2g2. You can write what you want here as long as it doesn't break any of the House Rules <./>HouseRules</.>, and as long as it's simply an entry hanging off your Personal Space. When you start submitting entries to review forums though you have to be sure to submit it to the right one. Nobody except the Editors can tell you to get rid of an entry, and then only in extreme circumstances.

I have a habit for writing things the wrong way

When commenting in Peer Review we need to be precise in our words, so perhaps it's a habit you should try and get out of if you're going to be a PR regular
