Do we critique the stories like a contest entry?

Nope! Just like a normal critique, whatever that means to you. Some people do in-depth line-by-line and I super appreciate that, but I tend to give general impressions, pacing/tone suggestions, and if they asked for a specific type of feedback I will focus on that.

Caught between two choices for a day or two, but I think I've finally decided.
Now to add a bit of spit and polish before sending it out into the Fiction Drive World to see how it fares.

 Omigosh, this is so fantastic. So many folks posted stories over the weekend. Two more days to post stories or excerpts, if anyone else wants to participate.

Must let go of perfection LOL Must post... I will post soon!

Not sure I'll be able to post anything. The only writing I have is rough drafts. Like really rough drafts.
One of the stories I edited a few times but only the first few pages. Everything past that is still super rough.
Sorry...

No worries, Labrat! Keep working on them, and maybe you'll have one ready for next time.

I forgot this was going on until today! We've been dealing with snowmaggedon in Alaska the past few weeks (even had to shovel snow off the roof to prevent potential cave-ins recently>< ).

I might try to dig up and review a piece tonight that I haven't worked on in about a year, at least seriously. It's an incomplete project, but I'd be interested to see the feedback on it so far as an opening.

Even if I don't, I'll try to look at reading others' submissions and critique (assuming that is okay as a non-participant).

Mazulla Definitely okay!

Holy moly! Shoveling snow off the roof. I can't even comprehend that much snow. We think six inches is a huge ordeal.

I thought the deadline for critiquing all entries was on the 17th but I now realize I only had to have two done by then in order to complete the challenge.
Just bought myself some extra wiggle room to get the rest done that I haven't yet gotten to.



(I really need to read all the rules before making assumptions and rushing into things...)
