Hubay Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, It's possible I'll be ready by then. I've been working on my next chapter this week but it's not quite done. The whole switch through me off. If there's room, there's a good chance I'll be ready, but if we have a full load of 7 again just put me off til next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodemon Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, if there's room for Tuesday I have another chapter ready to submit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I didn't submit this past week, so I would like to for this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will777r Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I also didn't submit the previous week and would like to submit this time if there's still room Will777r 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 That's four so far. I'll cap it at five this time 'round--seems like it's going to be a somewhat quieter week anyway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm wanting to join in, so I'm rushing to finish this chapter I'm working on. How would I go about submitting it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm wanting to join in, so I'm rushing to finish this chapter I'm working on. How would I go about submitting it? Fifth and final, then. For now, here is an explanation of how the group works from the TWG archives. We're working on a modified version but we're just tweaking the organization, so this should still tell you everything you need to know. Let me know if you have any questions. Also, shoot me a PM to let me know what email address to use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprouts Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I couldn't tell from the rules, maybe I'm being stupid but do you have to submit a chapter to be on the email list? As I'd like to read and critique some of the work that's being discussed so far, as just from the topic descriptions and titles I've gotten pretty interested. However I don't have anything to submit. Maybe in a few weeks as I've been writing up some ideas for a book recently, but as of now, I've got nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome to start reading and critiquing right away, even if you don't have anything to submit right off the bat--just send me a PM with the email address you'd like to use for the list. And you know, I don't think it was addressed specifically. I'll be sure to revise that once we're done moving the rules over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Robert Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'll be ready next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 So, I'm horribly late, and I don't have time to submit. Someone else can take my spot, but it's kind of Thursday already... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) So it's just Robert so far for Monday Sept. 5th, am I right? Sorry, folks--I'm a little scattered right now. I WILL get the rules and stuff moved over ASAP, but probably not before Monday, alas. (I have to clean and disinfect my whole house before my puppy, who contracted a serious illness, recovers enough to come home from the vet--which might possibly happen tomorrow. So, see, I'm not just blowing you guys off. ) Edited September 3, 2011 by Silk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodemon Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I've also got another chapter for coming monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Guys, I'm afraid I'm going to be more or less MIA for the next few days. I'll try to sneak online at a couple of points and maintain the weekly submission list, but I'm in the bridal party for a wedding this weekend so this is likely the last chance I'll get to come online until Monday. Sorry about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeardRaven Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hey guys, I have been looking for something like this, more close nit and tight group when it comes to reading/writing/critiquing everyone's work. I tried going to the email list thread but apparently that was from the forums that got hacked. Is there another way to get onto the list or join the group? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I posted the link to the old email list thread because I haven't yet had a chance to move the rules over to the new forum. That thread on the read-only forum is actually a pretty accurate description of our current policies--we're just housed in a different forum now. You still join the list the same way, by PMing me with the address that you'd like to receive submissions at, and I'll add you to the list. That won't be right away, though; this is the last chance I'll have to come online until Monday, I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recovering_cynic Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can I submit today? I use the same email address from the old forum, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can I submit today? I use the same email address from the old forum, right? Yes, same address, and yes, go for it. Liven the place up a little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeFalin Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have something I'd like to submit the next time an opening comes up (is it Monday or Tuesday now?) Can I submit the first few chapters or should I just do one at a time? They are only about 1500 words each. Thanks, Lee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And go ahead and submit whatever you feel most useful--if you want to submit the first three chapters, say, that's fine, as long as you're somewhere in the ballpark of 4k. =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
