Hi all
The waiting is nearly over. We have the new CritMatch algorithm tested and ready to go. This new approach allows you to choose via a ranked choice of several different genres and writing levels. So you can choose a first, second, etc choice for a partner to match across writing level and genre.
For example, I can choose two levels: my first choice would be an experienced writer, but I will also take someone with some experience (Intermediate) if they match on genre. Likewise, I may have a first and second choice for genre: say I want to match for Cyberpunk but I will take general scifi if the writing level is a match as well. Hope this makes sense. LOL.
I did explain it as well in the updated FAQ.
I have also added a bunch of new genres since you can rank order your choices. So if you have a cozy mystery you might want to choose Cozy Mystery and your first choice and Mystery as your second. If you also have a Romantic Suspense, that may be your third choice and so on.
Now for the fun part. We can add a LOT of genres. We may want to add a grouping in the future but for now let's just add the ones that you want and we can take it from there!
Please add your comment to this google sheet. Let me know if I have missed any or if you think the order is incorrect. I have not reordered the list on the site and I want to make this as intuitive as possible. I very much appreciate all your input! You guys are the best!!!
We will FOR SURE run this next Monday. The app is as tested as I can make it now so we just need to get these sorted and give you a few days to opt back in and we will be ready to roll!
