the dark room ones can be very very sexy, kindred and some others have submitted dark room ones.

I do have ADD and you have NO IDEA how many times I've had to watch a vid review 2-6 times b/c of shiny things, lol. And that's even with Kayla and Carrie's videos and whatnot.

Haha! This is yet another good reason to go outside! (My main reason is poor lighting inside, though.)

Gotcha. Question 2 regarding videos: for those of you who do do them, did you make any practice ones, just for yourself, before contacting Carrie? I was thinking, while I work on more written ones, I might try making a couple for practice and to see if I "have what it takes" so to speak.

People that can bang out multiple reviews at a time totally amaze and impress me. I take forever on each one.

It certainly can't hurt to do a couple of practice ones and compare them to ones that you think are really great

I didn't, and honestly I'm sure you will do fine. One thing I would suggest is to literally write out your script or at least bullet points for discussion so you aren't struggling at any time. I write mine out like a speech and blow it up on the laptop to read.

Lol, you'd be overwhelmed at my review list right now. I think I have 13 or so reviews that are finished, but not published. I had some time one day and started writing a bunch of them, but didn't want to publish them all at once because I didn't wanna overwhelm the community page and then they kinda just grew lol.

I understand what you are saying, there are some bad videos out there but I would hate to see a ban on dark videos because there are some who do amazing videos in the dark

I typically only do one at a time. When I just took two DR reviews it almost killed me with stress lol. I like to think over my review for a good long while before I actually write them.

Thank you so much! Well, I do have a mentor and have been around the site for a bit, just been having comp trouble lately, and rl or some complication with the products I plan to review (one had one of its motors die, one got lost, and so on and so forth), keep keeping me from writing more. However, I'm hoping to submit another one by the end of the weekend at the latest!

yeah, I am feeling a little overwhelmed juggling a toy review and the porn club, but I am stressed irl I'm sure it will be easier once things calm down here

Oh you poor thing! lol.

It sometimes takes me a while to get each review written, but when they sit for a while before getting published I get even more time to go back and change them up, which is totally awesome.
