Robinski Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 As of yet there are no new member requests, so you guys are looking good for Monday, so far, @rdpulfer, @TKWade and @kais. That's 3 out of 5. (Oh man, I have totally got the hang of this! ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalMonroe Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'd like to put in my name for next week. First time. Submitting a short story I started to write as a joke, but somehow got it to a full 3920 word story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hi @SalMonroe, welcome to Reading Excuses. I don't have time this second to check, so I'll just go ahead and say, remember to send me a PM with your email address so I can add you to the mailing list so that you get the other stories submitted to enable you to critique them in return. Did you glance through the guidelines? Please do if you haven't, saves most of the questions that we get! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalMonroe Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've been a part of the email list for a few weeks, just haven't been submitting until now. Read the guidelines too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandamon Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Alright, I think I'm ready to resubmit Rey's First Job on Monday. It's about 5500 words now, so a little on the heavy side if that's alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Okey-dokey, so it's @SalMonroe, @kais and @Mandamon to submit on Monday, 25th September - any more takers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandamon Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Well, I've changed the short story again, so I could submit for people willing to read a third time. Mainly the beginning and end are different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kais Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Apologies all, I'm not going to sub this week after all. Between DVpit and the book launch for ASD, I can barely think straight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kais Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Sorry! Life is crazy hectic right now and I maybe just agreed to do two new books... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle of the Forest Path Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Wouldn't you know, usually? Your publisher didn't get you drunk to get you to sign something, did he? (Congrats on the potential book deal, anyway) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't expect to give us something to read every week!! I'll forestall congratulations until it's a done deal. Superstition, and all that... (fiction or non-?)

Ace of Hearts Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Uhh I know this is late but since it doesn't look like anyone else is submitting I guess I could toss out a piece tomorrow, if that's all right. I'm not sure if it's a story I want to do anything big with, but since submissions have been a little slow I figure why not? So yeah. If it's okay, I have a story to submit for October 23rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WritingAubergine Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) If I may, I've got a story to submit on the 13th. Edited November 8, 2017 by WritingAubergine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Yes, yes please. Please submit, please, please do. I think I may have forgotten how to download a file from an email* Please forgive the over-dramatising. I do tend to exaggerate a million times more than anyone else I know.

WritingAubergine Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Haha, no worries. That is many times more exaggeration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistbornAlpaca Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 A Very new writer here, and first time submitting. Can I put a submission in for the 13th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 8 hours ago, MasterJack said: A Very new writer here, and first time submitting. Can I put a submission in for the 13th? Hello there, Master Jack - pleased to make your acquaintance, I'm sure Can I just check that you read the guidelines in the pinned thread? There are a few pointers and 'rules' in there for perusal, nothing too hard and heavy. Then, please send me a PM with the email address that you want to use on here, and I will add you to the circulation list. Normally, we ask that new contributors spend a couple of weeks critiquing others before they submit, just to get the hang of things. However, on the basis that we're super quiet at the moment because of NaNoWriMo, it will be just fine for your to submit on Monday 13th. Main factor to note is to stick to the 5,000 word limit (+say 10%, minus as much as you like), and to critique the other submissions that week, of which it looks like we will have one, maybe two. Welcome aboard!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
