I’d like to announce the Ready for Market Challenge for October. My apologies for the lateness of posting, I was unexpectedly without the internet.

This challenge is for stories that have been through a critique process from an independent third party (e.g. here in F&F) and are ready to submit to market -- after a final bit of polish in the RFM challenge. Crits are generally short, direct, though polite and constructive and helpful.

Though it might seem obvious that in order to be published, you need to submit stories to markets, the final step of submitting your story can be daunting. The RFM challenge is both a call to arms to submit your story to market and a chance to have another pair of eyes look over your story before it goes out.
Here are the rules (basically, just go look in the challenge forum and read the post if I don’t get the coding right):

If you have something you'd like to offer, please so indicate in this thread and then go to the challenge thread.

Cheers,

Nick

One last bump to see if anyone else wants to take part in this challenge. If so, please place your opening 13 in the challenge thread.

Merlion, while the effort to maintain this challenge are minimal, I don’t get anything for it either. I’d appreciate if you weren't snarky about something I don't have to do.

Regards,

Nick
