Subject: I am a fervent Spuffist and I gave the lower mark!

Ok I often give lower marks here, but I think you are very generous guys!
Should I up my rating?
The borrowing of the Trial was a disappointement indeed, but the Valet was hilarious.
I am still not convinced by the Trials location, Kelso...I wouldn't argue about the grammar/spelling/punctuation mistakes because I am badly placed to say anything, but I enjoyed Avalon's writing.

I have read this fic months ago, and I reread it lately before rating. I still liked it, but I still thought it wasn't an exceptional fiction.

88/100 is a very good mark for a very good story, but I don't think "Love is Blind" deserves more, sorry....

PS: My students think I am severe in grading...Are they right?

I'm pretty hard pressed to give it more than a low "Very Good", but lean more toward a high "Average".

I thought the style was good, characterization was better than average (considering the time frame), but the Trial thing... well, that for me is enough of a sticking point to withhold marks.

78/100
