Familiarizing the masses with the hobbies and fandoms that elude them. For geeks and non-geeks in search of new pursuits, time-wasters, and obsessions; for longtime fans and total outsiders; for great justice.
Editor reviews are provided by professional editors who evaluate a blog based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site Design, and Writing Style.
User rating is calculated as an average of the user ratings. If this rating differs significantly from our editor's rating our editors may re-evaluate this blog.
The writing is good, even if the style doesn't always match my tastes. The subjects are usually interesting as well... but the main reason I feel like I can't give a higher rating is that I sometimes feel like I read out of obligation, rather than interest. Some posts interest me, but they always seem to skim the surface rather than delving deeper into a fandom. I feel like a "good" blog writer is able to take a topic and expose the "hidden" points in a way that makes other people want to read/learn more.
Waiting for Wednesday is an example of this; it seems more suited for a hardcore comic blog. As a casual reader of the blog, I don't really care what's coming out, and mini-reviews don't help much to pique my interest, either, unfortunately...
Sorry guys.
Here's to the future!
