This is a critiqueing challenge for stories that have been critiqued already--probably at Hatrack but maybe elsewhere, or even rejected by a publisher--and which the author (that's you, folks) thinks is ready for market. It's an opportunity to get a crit in exchange for giving a crit to others; the work of critting is minimized with a simple grading scheme--no need for a line-by-line unless you feel so moved.

Here's how its worked last month:

If you're in, please so indicate in this thread, and post your first 13 by Monday 8th December here:

We'll grade first 13s the week following, and post gradings of stories by the end of the month.

I too shall be in this month.

"Thanks," I said.

"Last day for submissions is Monday," said Zac.

"I know," I said. "That's why I'm polishing frantically."

"That's why I bumped the topic for you, to save you from having to do it."

"Thanks, Zac," I said. Again.

"No new takers, no questions for you to answer, so you're okay continuing to write and not procrastinating by visiting Hatrack."

"Yeah, thanks again Zac," I said.

"Would you like some tea?"

alliedfive, if you'd like to offer the less good story, fine, but if you'd rather hold it back until you feel it's ready, please do so.

Do y'all think once a month is too often for RFM? I'm finding it hard to keep up as well. One month on, one off, maybe?
