We are content whores. We don't like pretty diaries that put us to sleep. Spelling counts. Expect that we will scrutinize every word you write. Humor, honesty, and courage make for a grand Opal Review. We will be focusing mainly on the meat of your diary, so vegetarians need not apply.
Style /10
Style, baby. Do you have one? Does your writing have an aspect to it that makes it inimitably yours? Do your links and extras have your signature stamp of originality and uniqueness? We will be looking for this crap.
Design /10
We are NOT layout whores. We like good looking sites, but that's not what Opal Reviews is all about. You will NOT be penalized for using a diaryland template. Conversely, a La De Da layout will not necessarily earn you points here. So there!

We need instant gratification. We like a clean, uncluttered site. Give our eyes a break, willya?
Frequency /5
Just update sometimes, dammit.
Our average review score is 68.5%. For you American public high schoolers out there, that's a high D. If you expect to do better than that, you have to really blow us away. And most of you aren't going to, so brace yourself.
