How does one get a story reviewed. I have written a couple of stories on this site and I have not gotten any reviews. I've gotten some feedback,in the form of comments and emails, which I very much appreciate. However I have yet to have any of my stories reviewed is there a process I must submit my stories to be reviewed, or is it just at the whim of whomever chooses to review it. If it is the former what is the process to submit a story for review. If it is the latter then I guess I just haven't written a compelling enough story. This is a no regards a gripe or a complaint it is an observation. I'm simply curious.

Reviewers write reviews for the stories they like.

The quality of the reviewers differs greatly. remember they are not professionals and typically just normal readers or infrequent writers.

Same here. Never got a review.

It feels like never getting an Oscar.

But keep making films

I had two stories reviewed on this site.
But I disabled the option after revieving a '3' and other similiar scores, along with getting yelled at by that reviewer in numerous, very hostile, emials.

In almost 20 years, I have had 1 story reviewed. It's just how things go.

"Okinawa", but it has two reviews. Both enthusiastic.

Yep, the one story I have had reviewed. And no complaints here, that had long been my favorite of my own as well. I have actually slated that for a major revision, as soon as I clear off some other stories I am working on.

Just the two reviews for me...

I signed up to be a reviewer, but when I went to submit my second (edit: third) review, I found the menu had disappeared. No idea why.

You should have asked why. I think most here would agree there isn't a surfeit of reviews.

ETA - you have two reviews on the site.

I am wondering how somebody can apply to be a reviewer? I do not think I have seen that here unless I missed it.

I think you just asked the webmaster via The help link. If you don't submit a review every now and then he will take it away because they're only so many review spots
