Rather than writing for Fleen, which I might have considered had I been allowed to apply, perhaps I’ll just write about Fleen. Just think, I could start a new sub-genre of webcomics review review. It’s a phenomenon that already happens plenty, so I don’t see why we couldn’t just make it a cottage industry unto itself. But I digress. The first submission is paltry at best, and in some places nonsensical. From the word go I’m completely uninterested. Garage doors and Monk? Way to use personal experience, I suppose, but I could really care less. Mr. #1 goes on to talk about a comic called Killer Robots from Outer Space. He gets points for writing about a webcomic I’d never heard of before (even if I find a new comic on a near-daily basis that’s semi-decent). Still, I have absolutely no idea what he’s saying about the comic. Somehow, I think, it has to do with garage doors. Garage doors in outer space, perhaps? Maybe he’s a mole for Nasa’s new “Send Suburbia into Space” (SSS) program. [...] [...] In any case, the first submitted post is up for perusal and criticism.

If you're going to refer to a specific comic, link to that specific comic, Mr. #1, even if it's "today's comic", people won't necessarily read it that day, and if people are digging through archives, saying "today's comic" with a generic link will be completely useless. Also, there were some compositional problems. For instance: "But as led to believe the Killer Robots are from space. In space I could not picture garage doors, although they could just be from space, not currently residing there." That makes no sense to me. On a sidenote, while I'm here, what's the deal with disallowing webcomics creators to submit to be Fleen writers? It doesn't make much sense to me. Not much sense at all.

Maybe if I click on all the links this'll make more sense, but there's nothing here to tell me why I should bother. So I won't. Admittedly that's all true of 90% of fleen posts, so maybe that's what you're looking for. Cheers, Graham I have no idea what this is about, or why I would want to know.
