How To Make Sure People Read The Cheatsheet
FG Guide To: Apply FicsHow To Make Sure People Read The Cheatsheet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cheatsheets are really popular now, over a year ago they didn't exist, and I think they are a very smart idea as long as they aren't just garbage. A hint to discover if people read the cheatsheet or not is to put the actual password in the cheatsheet.
Don't use the word 'password' put say 'pd' so people can't just do the whole ctrl-f thing. It not only forces people to read the cheatsheet but it tells you who actually read it.
I like to say that they should hyperlink or add something, it's a bit sneakier and makes it less obvious there is a password since there is no password section. Then make a note either on their review (add a star or something) or somewhere on your desktop to let you have a reminder that they actually read the cheatsheet.
Honestly when I know people read my cheatsheet (that takes awhile to write) you automatically have a higher chance of being chosen because I know you know how to follow rules and you are actually trying to give me a good OC.

If You Are Writing: Try and simplify the cheatsheet if it seems to long (I'm guilty of that haha!)
If You Are Applying: it up! Read the cheatsheet it's rude not to :P
