I just finished the first draft of my new story, and was hoping some of you might be willing to critique it. It's 2,500 words long.

Thanks
-Noah

I'd be happy to, if you'd tell me what kind of critiques you are looking for. [Smile]

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

Specific moments in the story that are rough/don't work/etc.

Usually using MSWord features like Comment, etc. work well for the kind of stuff I like.

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

Although if someone usually critiques a different way, that's fine too.

me. I can't promise anything until sunday or so though, lots of work around here.

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

that's cool. While I know where I'm gonna send this story off to, I really don't have any deadline of when I want to send it by.

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

holy poo. I sent off a submission question to Leading Edge not more than 20 minutes ago, and already got a reply.

Talk about fast.

Calvin, I'd be glad to read your story if you want to send it to me right away. I'm at work and have very little else to do. I could probably have a critique back to you by morning.

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

I'll critique it, just send me a deadline with the story or else it won't happen. I'm motivated like that.

Posted by MoonRabbit (Member # 3652) on :

I'll read it, but I warn you I'm a perfectionist and will be really harsh.

Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :

Calvin,

I'd like to read your story. Just send it on over.

BTW, did you get the last critique I sent you? I sent it using the Webmail interface and was having trouble with it that day. Silly me forgot to ask you if you ever got it.

Posted by TimeTim (Member # 2768) on :

I'd love to read it.

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

sent. thanks guys

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

oh, and Larisse, which story was it on? I've gotten a bunch of different critiques from you.

Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :

It was Violent Silence I believe.

Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :

*clears throat*

I TOLD you I would, but you didn't send it to me. *pout*

That's okay. If you do send it my way, I promise to be as brutal as I would be with my workshop peers. [Smile]

Posted by CalvinMaker (Member # 2032) on :

Yes, but I wasn't sure when you wanted me to send it to you. ;-)
