AubreyWrites she/her Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) if there is room i would like to submit monday please. my next chapter is hovering right at 7k. Is that alright? There isn't really a good place to break it in half. Edited February 6, 2013 by AubreyWrites
Silk she/her Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Trizee, Aubrey, you're up for Monday. Aubrey, that should be fine; that isn't too much overlimit and historically, it seems like people have preferred to get slightly longer whole chapters than the same chapter broken up over two weeks.
Mandamon he/him Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I'll do the same deal as last week. I have another chapter to submit but don't want to hog space. If it's full, I'll drop back a week.
Silk she/her Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Sounds like a plan. It sounds like we have a new member who may want to submit this week (not confirmed yet), so we'll call that three slots filled for now (tentatively four including Mandamon).
yankorro Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 It sounds like we have a new member who may want to submit this week. That's me, I think! Yes, I'd like to go ahead and submit this Monday. The first two chapters of my novella come in at just over 3000 so it won't be too much of a load hopefully.
Syme Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I'd like to submit tomorrow if there's still room.
Silk she/her Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 NM and Syme for Monday make five submissions total. Of course, if there is anyone who hasn't submitted in a while who would like to, Mandamon has graciously offered to back down for this week.
AubreyWrites she/her Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 i have enough submissions to keep submitting every week for a while now so I am going to keep asking to submit- but since I have had the privilege of getting something in every week for the last month please know that if there isn't space I am willing to secede placement in favor of someone who hasn't gone in a while. That being said. Is there room for this coming monday? Also- I have looked at this chapter. It is a little over 8k - however I can break it into 2 pieces if I absolutely have to. Thoughts? Thanks!
Silk she/her Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks, Aubrey. You're the first one to ask for this week, so unless we get a ton of late requests you should be good to go for Monday. As for the length question--personally I think 8k words should be alright (though probably not much higher) but maybe the folks who are regularly reading submissions will want to weigh in. (I look forward to the day when I can actually start regularly reading submissions again, but I keep saying that, don't I?)
AubreyWrites she/her Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks Silk! I will go ahead and plan on submitting the whole thing but I will check back before I do to make sure it's still alright.
Mandamon he/him Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Alright...no one else has asked yet, so I'll ask to submit chapters 7 and 8 (both together under 5k) on the 18th. If the queue fills up, I'll drop out. Oh, and personally, I don't mind longer chapters (to a point--15k is probably too much) and I would like to read the whole thing rather than have it broken up. Edited February 16, 2013 by Mandamon
Syme Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 If there's enough room, I'd like to submit again tomorrow. As for the whole length thing, I think the occasional 7 or 8k submission is fine, as long as that doesn't become the norm. I don't think I want to read four 8k submissions every week. Going up to 8k on a single submission is pushing it, I think and once you reach 9k I think it's better off being split in two (and with such a long chapter or story, there probably already is some fairly natural stopping point along which the story can be split).
Silk she/her Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 Mandamon and Syme, you're both good to go tomorrow. Thanks for weighing in re: the length--you both make good points. So Aubrey, I'd say you're good to submit the whole thing, but let's all bear this in mind going forward.
AubreyWrites she/her Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Ok thanks! My next several chapters after this one are back to normal length
AubreyWrites she/her Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I would like to submit please.
Mandamon he/him Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Silk, I can do my usual thing with chapter 9 for Monday the 25th. I'm only on chapter 13 now, so probably not a more of weekly submits, unless I get a lot of writing done!
Silk she/her Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Alright! So far we have Aubrey and Mandamon for Monday.
yankorro Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 If it's not too much of a problem, I'd like to send out a couple chapters this week, would that be cool?
Syme Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 If there isn't anyone wanting to do a last minute submission, I'd like to submit as well.
Silk she/her Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 NM, Syme, go ahead and submit if you haven't already. Sorry for the late response on my part.
Mandamon he/him Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Seems I'm the first... I'd like to submit for next week. Not a new chapter, but some rewrites for people to give feedback on.
