Email List and Submission Dates

[Yados Cobalt Guard]

I'm writing something for Monday for an irl group so I'll put it out on here as well.

AND

I have a big backlog of people's stuff to go through and comment on. I AM going to do this.

[Silk Shade]

Good rule, Cynic. Yados: My backlog is bigger than your backlog! (Seriously, I cringe to even think about it. Sorry guys.)

I'll put you two up for Monday.

[RedBeardRaven Bridgeman]

I would like to submit another short story that I did for a contest on reddit. If that is okay with everyone else?

[Silk Shade]

Go right ahead.

[Hubay Darkeyes]

Well, I've been having a bit of writer's block this last month. I've only got a few more chapters for Jhuz's story, and I keep second-guessing myself because I'm worried it's not turning out right. Bleh.

Anyways, in the meantime I wrote a short story. I'm pretty happy with it, but it's a little longer than the average submission. If there's room next Monday, I'd like to submit it.

[Silk Shade]

You're the first. Go right ahead.

[Shivertongue Worldbringer]

Wavepainter is going through a bit of a rewrite right now. I might submit something on Monday, but I dunno.

[Yados Cobalt Guard]

I will most likely submit the second chapter of BMBD tomorrow if there is room.

[Silk Shade]

Yup. Go for it.

[TleeMcCllelan Skaa]

If it is all right I would like to submit something for next monday.

[recovering_cynic Darkeyes]

I would also like to submit on Monday.

[Hubay Darkeyes]

Hey guys, sorry I didn't submit this week. Something came up with my family and I had to run back home for a couple of days. Nothing terrible, but it was more important than my short story. I'll just submit for this monday instead.

[Silk Shade]

Three for Monday so far, then.

[Yados Cobalt Guard]

I'll have something by Monday (hopefully) but if four is too many, I can hold it off a week.

[Silk Shade]

Four's fine. I'll be capping it at five for a while, and see how that goes. (I'd actually be reluctant to cap it at less than five, because as it is it takes a LONG time for those of us writing novels to push an entire piece through.)

So i know it's been like well over a year since I've done anything with reading excuses. However, I've actually done a bit of work recently and will likely have another chapter ready for this coming monday (the 14th). Hooray for free time!

[Silk Shade]

Well, I suppose we can allow that.

[Yados Cobalt Guard]

So I'll have another chapter of BMBD to post tomorrow if that's alright.

[Silk Shade]

Sure. Just Eerongal and Yados so far?

Hey guys,

I just joined the site today (I left a greetings thread). I wanted to get involved with the whole process as

soon as possible. I'm actually in the herculean task of revising my 170 something thousand page fantasy book (and it's just the first one!). I'm in the process of that 2nd and crucial rewrite and would love some feedback. I'm actually looking forward to critiquing other peoples as I think it would give me a much needed break from my own story for the millionth time. I guess this is the part where we exchange emails??

-Thanks

Actually, one of the people who admin's this (silk and chaos) has to add you to the whitelist, and then from there you send an email to the address (all at(@) readingexcuses.com) and it forwards to everyone on the list. That way you dont have to publicly share your address, you just need to get into touch with one of those two.

[Silk Shade]

Actually, just PM me with your email address and I'll add you to the list--I'm the sole RE moderator now since Chaos is busy admin-ing the site as a whole. So yes, send me a PM and I will happily add you.

A general note: I'm currently in a headlong dash to finish my MA thesis (by December 7th, yikes!) so I'm going to be a little scarce for the next couple of weeks. I apologize if it takes me longer to reply to things and whatnot than usual.

[ACharles78 Darkeyes]

Thanks Silk. Just sent the PM.

[Yados Cobalt Guard]

I have something I could submit this Monday, but I may hold off. I'm committing myself to reading/commenting on at least three stories/chapters before I submit something new. This place has gotten far too dead the last two weeks and it's fair to nobody.

I would imagine that is because of NaNoWriMo.... People are concentrating on their novels rather than this forum.... Me *kind of* included...

Sorry about my silence, I have been here since the move...Just lurking...
