>> Edited to compile Haiku to-date in first post<<
I've been sitting on this idea for a while, but I think it's time...
I want to recognize some of the levels I've been playing, but don't have a lot of time to write lengthy reviews (during my coffee breaks ;)). What I can commit to is 17 syllables per review. That's right I'll review levels within a single haiku. Haiku (for those unaware) is a classic form of Japanese poetry. Though not typically a rhymed verse, the structure is defined by the cadence of syllables- 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 again in the third and final line. Got it? Good.
That's great AAAlone (you loony), but how can I request a review? I'm sorry but you can't. It's not that I don't want to review all your levels, it's just that I am a guilt junky. If I receive a request and don't get to it in a timely fashion, then I'll feel guilty about it and I don't need that.
So how are you gonna decide what to haiku-review then? I'm just working through authors that I've been chatting with, levels that I stumble across, recommendations in other posts, spotlighted levels, etc. In other words, I'll just review the levels that I'm playing anyway.
Hey, I thought I was your friend? Why haven't you reviewed my level? C’mon ! What did I just say about guilt? Honestly though, I am your friend. I'm not intentionally leaving anybody out. But I'm starting right.... wait for it... NOW. I'm sure I'll get to your level before too long. Just hang in there. (And besides, once you read some of my lame verse, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a somewhat dubious honor.)
So let's begin.
