Is there a "Rate Your Fanfiction" thread?

Using the search engine doesn't bear me any fruit (yet) unfortunately, so I'd rather ask and see if anyone else has ran into such a thread. If there is, can anyone redirect me to it? If not, can such a thread be created?

My idea to this is that a person posts their fic (wherever it is) and ask people to rate based on the first chapter, like:

Title. Is it eye-grabbing? Too plain? Overused?
Summary. Is it catchy? Is it boring? Does it have proper spelling?
Length. Is the length (word count) good enough? Too long or too short?

Things like this, unless that falls under another forum here-that-I-have-yet-to-see.

Apologies if this already does exist. Thanks in advance for any clarifications/suggestions/whatnot.

I would recommend you just go all the way and create a thread for the piece of fanfic you're working on.

The "complain talk about your reviews" thread is a conversation between multiple people about multiple reviews, but it's fundamentally a talk thread.

If you're looking for meaningful feedback and back-and-forth discussion, I think it would be better to make each story it's own thread. I mean, imagine if there were two stories getting talked about at the same time. "Wait, which one were you commenting on? Who are you replying to?" Confusion.

Talking about fanfic is like literally the purpose of the board. Just go ahead and create your own thread.

Yeah. I was about to say this, but my internet freaked out so dan got there first.

Critique, comments, and rating fanfiction was one of the founding hallmarks of this forum.

All right, thanks for the replies. I believe I'll go do that then. I want some genuine, legitimate feedback on the story(ies) I'm currently writing. Honest truth is better than those annoying reviewers that go "ermagawd this is super awesome update soon!"
