REVIEWER HONOR ROLL

Reviewer: Charles James
Submission: August 5, 2022 and August 6, 2022, Adult themes by Walter Williams
Submitted by: Walter Williams
Nominator's Comments: While most of the review was generally helpful, one line of it was a diamond. It made me think deeply about the representation of gender within the story and question my assumptions. I only wish I could thank Charles, as Charles didn't leave an email address.

Reviewer: Erin Stocks
Submission: O.N.U.G. (Part II) by Joseph Kim
Submitted by: Joseph Kim
Nominator's Comments: In-depth, intelligent. Erin sees not just the little details, but the big picture as well, the ebb and flow of story. Strikes a great balance between nitpicking individual sentences and discussing plot. Helpful suggestions abound along with a specific example on how the rewrite of a passage might look like. She's also very generous/productive in terms of promptly critiquing your work and having email follow-up with you. You can count on Erin.
