@Night Trap: It really is just format: as someone who tries to go through every submision at some point, I want to see what's the selling point, can they give even a small summary or overview before the text begins so that I get interested or know to look at the thing with the hindsight of knowing from the start that it may not be my type of story but that I will have to look past that and be neutral whilst reading. I decided I wouldn't take a look at grading content because it would depend on my personnal appreciation of the story for the main part. So yes, it was my main focus; the advices displayed in the first comment, mainly the two first with red warnings and capital letters were determinent in this grading.
@HugsAlright : Don't get too cocky, you don't have any summary or overview so you would've been in yellow, you're in blue because your usage of parser was great, that's all.
@Zat : hugs was bonified a little more because of his parser usage, althought his scene changes could be a little more obvious and he lacks a good summary/overview. Night trap would merely need a good summary/overview of 5 lines to be in green(it honestly was hard to pick between yellow and blue, it just ended up the way it did). hugs would need one too and add a table of content to upgrade to green (or just a longer summary/overview without a table of content). Also be it taken in consideration I looked at that at 10pm last night after a shitty 12 hours work shift outside in the snow, so I might not have done the best job at pinpointing what made it better or worse. Anyway, see it this way Hugs is in the bottom half of the blue and Night Trap in the Top half of the yellow: on another page, Night Trap would need less work to get from yellow to green than hugs would to get from blue to green; it's just because of the lack of summary/overview which was a medium flaw for Night trap which by filling it he'd get directly to no flaw.
@Gardeford : It's just sad and cause it's 1 page long you don't have any time to actually set into the feelings. (Because it was so short I had to try to base myself on something.... but there really wasn't enough anything to base myself onto)
I used a system starting from the best and removing grades with minor flaws, medium flaws and major flaws. If you have a major flaw or 2 medium flaws, you start in orange and if you have a medium flaw, you start in yellow. (up to 3 small flaws will be between green and blue) Note any submission might have been up one category if they originally used something that made it better:great parser/doc that is very very clear/an overview that would make pretty much anyone look at it and one awarded to the best title which I believe is currently: Illicit Reindeer Smuggling(which sounds hilarious if you try to picture it), followed closely by Be on your Mistle Toes(Which is a good pun) and finally, a pertinent usage of colors.
Small problems/unlikable things: -If I don't recognize the police of character and it looks other than very basic/police of character is size less than 11 or bigger than 12/ usage of parenthesis for parser AND into the common text/no title or a title like Merry Christmas or Xmas submission which is zero effort/ 2 links to see the doc(the separation is well justified)/etc.
Medium flaws/unlikable things: -Only a line or so that introduces the doc/ no summary or presentation page of any kind/ scene changes are very unclear or not noted at all/ 2 links to see the full doc/etc.
Major flaws/unlikable things: -Not a google doc/google doc that you have to download in order to see/ not enough paragraphs(like 20 lines for a paragraph that express more than one idea)/ No overview nor any context at all/ More than 2 links to see the full doc/etc.
