Friday Night Death Slot

The TVIV at SA has spawned a television review site! http://www.fridaynightdeathslot.com/ If you're an SA member and wish to become a writer or an editor for reviews, click the SA link below and read about how to contribute!

Also, you can just be a consumer and read it. I will be contributing a few articles myself. :)

Oh, cool. I like the design a lot.

Are you writing for it?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yes! I'm nervous about it, but I read some of the current ones and figured I can do just as good as they did. ;)

The setup from the inside (Writers Room) is really cool - you can browse through a schedule of shows (not just US, UK and Australia, etc as well) and reserve the ones you wish to review. Currently I can reserve three shows at a time (I'm going to be writing up Alphas and Warehouse 13 from Syfy tonight and the season premiere of The Mentalist), and there is a neat pinboard view that shows you what shows are reserved, who's reserved them, and if they're completed or not.

Also you can add a mini review on top of another writer's existing review, which I did for the Parenthood article. The neat part is that no one person will be writing the reviews for all episodes of a TV show, so there will be lots of varying opinions and such. I think 40 or so people are signed up right now as writers. :)

If you (the general you, not you in particular, Jenny) could, please plug the site on the Facebook and Twitter, it went live just yesterday so there isn't a great deal published right now but it should continue to be populated with new and interesting write-ups of a variety of TV shows. :D

Yay :D Let us know when your reviews go up!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I will do! :D

Niiice. :-)

I was wondering about that site when I saw it pop up in my fb feed he other day.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I wrote my first two reviews - one may go up in the morning, but not sure! I'm trying to find a sweet spot between simply recapping the episode and something else. So I'd appreciate comments via PM if anyone wants to send them. As long as you're gentle, I am a delicate emotional flower. :p

I have two articles up today ^_^;

edit: not just to blow my own horn (tooot), but I think it's a great site - did anyone check it out yet?

[Dasquian Belargic]

I've taken a look a couple of times, but I actually watch very little television so there's not a lot for me to read about ^_^;
