Greenlighters
Sky3 ⬤
Will Crit: SPaG and Concept. This is really broad, so feel free to come to me for anything not mentioned in Won’t Crit.
Won't Crit: Literature, primitive pages, canons, CSS/JS stuff, overdone concepts with no salvageable qualities.
Active?: Yes.
Open to PMs?: I rarely, if ever, check Wikidot PMs. Please ping me in the Discord.
Will Crit: Mostly anything, I really enjoy reading new things.
Won't Crit: Writing that is overwhelmingly full of SpaG errors, get some crit first before pinging me.
Strengths: I'm good at helping with flow and spicing up word choice!
Likes: Levels, Horror, Creepy entities.
Dislikes: Pages that don't try to hook you right away.
Contact: Ping me or you can message me on the Wikidot. Ask first if you want to DM me.
Response time: Usually pretty fast, depends on what day it is due to my class schedule.
Note: If you are a new author and have gone through a couple rounds of crit, ping me. I love helping new folks! That being said, I will be strict on my crits. Come willing to make changes and keep an open mind.
Position: Object J-365 - green lighter (those who know)
Preferred Contact: Ping me. I will not respond to DMs for crit unless I know you.
Response Time: Nowadays I could take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days so don't count on me to be the fastest.
Will Crit: Mostly polished works would be preferred. Have confidence in your draft and revise to the best of your own abilities before coming to me pls.
Won't Crit: Unfinished works, unformatted/poorly formatted works, etc. To reiterate, make sure your page has a little polish to it.
Strengths: I'm pretty strong everywhere, minus the actual site formatting stuff and CSS since I'm majorly rusty in that department.
Weaknesses: As mentioned above, my CSS and the like are abysmal right now.
Likes: I'm picky, and it's complicated. If I like your work I'll make it obvious. I'm into a variety of things as long as they're done properly.
Dislikes: Messy works; works that are written without purpose. Big fan of the Chekhov's Gun principle.
Crit Status: 🟢
Notes: I do not have a queue, but I also don't get a lot of crit requests so first come first serve.
Eyo I'm back!
Please contact me to be your 3rd critique, otherwise, I'll turn you to another person or put you into my slush pile.
I have a full-time job and gotta manage the staff here, so I'm not going to be fast to respond.
Generally, I'll look through the forums and if your page interests me, I'll help you out :)
Also, if you wanna make sure your draft avoids the slush pile, read this:

Name: Forest
Position: Non-staff Greenlighter
Preferred Contact: Pings and WikiDot PMs. Only DM me on Discord if I either have you friended or you asked prior.
Will Crit: Most things.
Won't crit: Pages visibly beyond repair.
Strengths: Concept, Tone, WikiDot syntax and, to an extent, CSS.
Weaknesses: SPaG (uuh, kinda), though I will absolutely critique that as well.
Likes: Mystery and about anything that breaks the mould.
Dislikes: Supposedly "glorious" pages that instead try to sweep under the rug fundamental flaws.
Queue: (2/2) 🔴
Notes: I have got a few requirements for my critiques. These are:
- You are a new writer and want a bit of guidance in regards to the concept. Otherwise,
- The article is somewhat close to its final stages of critique. If I agree, I'll take care of it.
- If it is SPaG you are looking for, the concept must NOT require major adjustments of any kind. In any other case, I may leave a few notes regarding the most glaring things I could find but nothing else.
- If you no longer want my critique, tell me before you receive a clear/greenlight.
- Not a requirement, but I may not look into an original article should the intended goal be a clear. In other words, you are better off with the regular system, but feel free to ask. Never settle for mid.
- I hardly use the queueing system, so I may not add you even if the list is half-empty. Should you happen to be the second, it may take a pretty long time.
Name: Aki, Akimoto, DrAkimoto
Position: Greenlighter
Preferred Contact: ping me in your thread or in the Sandbox Critique channel
Will Crit: Anything
Won't crit: Nothing.
Strengths: I have a lot of experience with clinical tone. I will tell you if your narrative isn't coherent or interesting enough but I will always try to suggest how to improve it. Themes and making sure they are coherent enough for the reader to walk away with your desired effect. I'm decent at SPaG but I do have a good eye for clunky wording, clinical or not, so I can help you find and reword stuff like that.
Weaknesses: There are still aspects of lore I haven't gotten into yet, so I may lack the context to judge certain things that require that knowledge. If that's the case I probably will refer you to someone who does, before giving any sort of go-ahead.
Likes: I like a little bit of everything. Bonus interest points for animals, mythology, social commentary, the Eldritch, and/or abstract concepts. If your page has to do with B.N.T.G. I'll almost definitely wanna see it
Availability: I accept almost all requests so I have an ever-evolving queue. If I think it will take over a week to get to your thread I will decline until I have more free space.
Note: Please try and get some eyes on your stuff before you ping me for a greenlight. That said, if you can't find anyone to crit your stuff, especially if you are new, feel free to ping me for some assistance.
Preferred Contact: Discord ping or DMs (I can also do Wikidot but it'll be slower)
Will Crit: Most things, including but not limited to: levels, entities, objects, POI, tales, canon pages, general narratives, and clinical pages
Won't crit: Joke pages and poetry for the most part
Strengths: Concept and execution, as well as dialogue and narration to some degree
Weaknesses: SPaG (if it's minor things and hard to notice), poetry, and CSS
Likes: Anything narratively/thematically/directionally coherent, interesting worldbuilding pages, pages that evoke thought and emotions effectively, etc
Crit status: No
Note: UTC+7; crit may take between a few hours to a week (but please ping me every few days as a reminder)
Name: Skully
Position: Greenlighter
Preferred Contact: @ me directly in your idea/Sandbox forum. Or DM me directly with a link to your Sandox forum in the server.
Strengths: CONTENT, I love content, I love analyzing content and helping folks have it make sense. Formatting, Im also good with helping out with formatting, as formatting can make or break a article if not done correctly.
Weaknesses: SPaG, dyslexia is a bitch and I won't catch the Nitty Gritty SPaG stuff right away. And CCS, im not a coding wizard, so please go to tech-support if you need any sort of help with that.
Likes: Horror, LGBT/Queer storylines/themes, pages that relate back to nostalgia/dead malls, and more distressing and disturbing topics.
Important Notes:
- I WILL NOT GREENLIGHT AN ARTICLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A NARRIATIVE. 9 out of 10 times I've seen purely clinical pages get deleted when put on the main wiki after their grace period. This is due to the wiki's quality expectation rising overtime. And thus clinical pages will survive better if you have a narrative going on within your article. If you want to know how you could incorporate a narrative into your article, or help making said narrative more clear and concise, please @ me on your sandbox form and tell me what you need help with.
- Please note I will be VERY thorough in my crits and will most likely not grant you a greenlight or clear appon first contacting me. This is not to diminish your work, I am here to help you make you a better writter and help you make a great article.
- Please atleast go through the minimum required critiques needed for a clear before coming to me for a greenlight/clear. (3 different critics must give you atleast 500 word crit each. And you must apply said crit.) Not only is it per sever/critting rules, but it will greatly help me understand what has and hasn't been discussed or critiqued yet for an article.
