The Millennium

A rewrite for UN:CW. I think I've taken it from "deletable" to "not bad", but I lack the inspiration at the moment to take it further, so I'm hoping a good review will help. I know it needs pics, but suggestions about what else it needs would be gratefully received. --SirU.U.Esq. VFH | GUN | Natter | Uh oh | Pee 11:52, Mar 19

Humour:	8	Not much to comment on here. You're definitely on the right track. I loved the second section pointing out how arbitrary it is to ascribe any significance to the millenium.
Concept:	9	This is obviously an important concept and deserves to handled by a skilled author. Thank Jebus you've taken the reins away from whoever failed at this the first time.
Prose and formatting:	9	Again, you know what you're doing.
Images:	5	Still needs 'em. A few "doom" images would fill it out nicely until the muse grants you something better. Maybe an image of somebody stockpiling canned goods, or a bomb shelter. (See below)
Miscellaneous:	8	Averaged and rounded. You're still swell.
Final Score:	39	Okay, time for a suggestion. You state that the public reaction was basically to ignore it. While everybody with half a brain did ignore it, we all know that a very large percentage of humanity have signifcantly less than half a brain. There were tons of morons preparing for the end of the world and I think there's some potential there for teh funneh. Perhaps an example of John Q. Redneck who's still hiding in his bunker waiting for the government to give him the "all clear" sign? I'm not saying to axe what you have in that section, rather I think you could expand it to include both the rational and irrational reactions. I also think that you could expand the "what happened" section to reflect this as well. Include some consequences of the panic. Maybe ascribe the newfound interest in renewable energy to concerns about how idiots were going to recharge their cell phones after all the power plants failed (ignoring the fact that their cell phones obviously wouldn't work anymore)? Something along those lines. You've got a great start here, thanks for reworking this fail into something good.
