To answer your question -- for multi part fanfics I will decide on the spot
whether to review individual parts or not (or, to be more correct, the
members of the corner will choose now).  With a multi part fanfic project it
is easy for me to update my webpage with an addition rather than having to
rewrite any reviews -- and the same goes for the posts to the ffml.

One of the fanfics I was referring to in that message was admitted to be raw
and unfinished, the other was about to be rewritten and the author wanted
some comments before he started on the rewrite.  Both of those stories were
soon to be edited or improved, and I didn't want to have a review that would
be out of date and inaccurate in a week.  As for Tiger Claw, Mme. Hydra
never stated that she was going to rewrite any parts, and she didn't express
a lot of concern for errors, so I assumed that at least her individual parts
were complete.

Give The Corner some time to get situated (about 85% of the staff was just
added and we will come up with a concrete set of guidelines and post them to
the FFML as well as on the DRC webpage (which is still not ready to really
be announced due to lack of available content)).

As far as your fanfic goes, if you're not planning any rewrites or anything
major, you'll be okay.  The whole purpose of limiting submissions to
finished parts/works is to protect the authors of the FFML from bad
publicity that they don't deserve.  I think everyone should at least be able
to agree with that motivation.

Ja,

Some people have asked to submit fanfics that are either about to be
rewritten or that are not finished.  The point of Draxon's Review Corner

is

to let the general fanfic-reading public know which stories are hot and
which stories are not (with constructive C&C thrown in to make it

worthwhile

for the authors involved)

Eh... for multi-part stories, are you refering to the individual parts?
Because I KNOW you did at least one unfinished fic, if you aren't (Madam
Hydra's 'Tiger's Claw,' which at Chapter 6 looks at best half-done to me).
I believe I sent some things to the DRC where I had finished the chapters
for final release, but I had not finished the fic itself (well, in one
case, I believe it's a fic which I may never wind up ending, but would
instead hand off to someone else when I 'retire' from fanfiction...
something which I don't think I'll be doing anytime soon, mind).
