Aren't you always plunking away at reviews? I was gonna get more done today but my double bullets came....had to spend two hours "researching"....

Now I get to stay up late and write for Eden Cafe!

Since a number of the items I've ordered are hand lotions/body gels, ... more
Oh! Something that completely slipped my mind until right now, make sure that all of your drafts are done and published before I graduate you. Anything you start working on in class seems to get caught in limbo if you don't finish it before graduation, and then there's a long and arduous process to get it all cleared up.

This is also true. I think there's a lot of potential for a rating system that could be effective.

It feels like I go in two week spells... a week of testing and waiting for things in the mail, then a week of writing (and continued testing, of course )Video reviews get scheduled around weather events

Antipova and I both write for the DR program -not sure who else. It really is a bit different - but fun sorta.

Of course after telling them I wasn't into pain or bdsm or anal stuff - they offered me two floggers (had such fun with those reviews)and now they've offered me an anal vibrator along with a dildo and a moisturizer cream.

I have accepted everything...

Sort of related to that, but I thought some sort of a mentor search process would be helpful. If mentors could have the option of checking off certain criteria to "categorize" themselves and allow students to sort by them. For example, some people specifically want a male or female mentor. That would be an easy way to sort mentors.

Oh, this is something that should be mentioned in the "Welcome to Mentorship" page too.

Kendrir wanted to be graduated earlier than he expected, and he'd had a few reviews in drafts, luckily I knew to have him copy all his notes into word before graduating him.

They must've fixed that because Alan & Michelle thought it would be a problem and it wasn't.

I wondered if I could do those reviews but it would be so much more helpful to do the first few with a mentor that specializes in them.

They accept people on how good reviewers are on unbiased descriptive reviews basically. You take away a lot of the personal stuff and really get into the details of the item.

You have to be able to consistently write objective reviews, and be a good writer. There are some mentors like myself who do "specialize" in writing fairly objective reviews, and I'd be happy to try and help you out if you wanted. You have to email partners @ edenfantasys.com to tell them that you'd like to participate in the descriptive review program. There's no "yes you're in" or "no assignments for you" email or anything like that, but if you get accepted you'll just get a descriptive review assignment in your assignment list one day.

Yep, I've only turned things down when I was just too busy. Got some items of high MSRP, and some of super low---it's a fun grab-bag, and you get to try to be really objective, and try things you wouldn't have thought of for yourself. (Hello, ball gag!)

We talked about having small summaries of each meeting next to the links when the meetings are posted. And the awesomeness of the community with Eden Gives Back. And now we're discussing the mentor program.

I don't think it's a problem unless you submit it to the mentor. If you worked on it but never forwarded it, I think it's okay, though I could be wrong.

It's only with ones you start while in class, and not with ones you were working on before you started the class. Last I knew it hadn't been fixed yet.
