Email List and Submission Dates

[andyk he/him]

I'd also like to submit something on the 27th now that I'm on a role.

[Silk she/her]

You're the first two in line for the 27th I believe.

[The Goat he/him]

I'd like to submit on the 3rd if I can.

[Robinski he/him]

I would like to submit Chapter 3 of Without Honour if there is a space.

[andyk he/him]

I'd also like to submit on the third if there's space.

[Kuiper]

I'd like to submit whenever a slot is available.

[Silk she/her]

I have TheGoat, Robinski, andyk, and Kuiper so far for the third,so there's one slot left. Andyk and TheGoat, you guys have been submitting fairly frequently in the last few weeks so if there's a lot more interest I may ask one or both of you to hang back for a week, just a heads-up.

[The Goat he/him]

No problem. Just let me know. i can drop back if needed.

[Robinski he/him]

I know this is rather last minute, but I see no-one's up. I wouldn't mind submitting Chapter 4 of Without Honour tomorrow - unless there's an even more last minute rush.

[Silk she/her]

Nope, you're good to go!

[andyk he/him]

OK, despite failing to submit last time I put my name up, I'd like to submit something next week if that's OK. This is another attempt to motivate myself by committing publicly to having it ready by then - feel free to mock me if I don't!

[hawkedup]

My books are separated into four [mostly] distinct parts. I've noticed I can get about 1/4 of each of these parts into one submission. If you all don't mind, I'd like to submit four weeks in a row, get all of part one out there, and then take a break for a couple weeks before submitting for part 2. I'm only asking because I notice not too many submissions, but if there are others who want a spot, by all means I wouldn't want to block them, either. Just wondering!

[Silk she/her]

The number of submissions varies quite a bit from week to week so it's hard to say whether you'd be able to submit four weeks in a row. I'll put you down for this Monday for sure, and tentatively for the two weeks after that--just be aware that I may ask you to hold back one of your submissions if we have a sudden spurt of activity. It's pretty rare that I actually have to ask someone to delay their submission, so consider yourself  good to go for those weeks unless you hear otherwise.

 

There's also an optional alpha reading group for people who want to submit larger chunks of their books all at once, though I'm not sure how many people are still using it.

The alpha group sounds fun! I'm really hoping to build a good group here in the next few months to a year. I'm all in when it comes to this whole writing thing, and I'm hoping this is the place to be to get going (god knows I can't find any good writers in my tiny town I'm living in, which is why I'm planning on moving soon).

And I totally understand if you have to bump me, but I'll plan on submitting just in case.

[Robinski he/him]

If there's a slot for me on Monday, I'll put another chapter up, but happy to sit out as it looks like there's a bit more activity this week

 

:-)

[Silk she/her]

I've had two more people message me about joining the group this week and I've informed both of them that they can submit the upcoming Monday if they want to, so not totally sure how many slots we still have yet. I'll put you down tentatively too, Robinski, but yeah, keep an eye out because there may be a bit of juggling needed.

[neongrey]

Hiiii.

[Robinski he/him]

keep an eye out because there may be a bit of juggling needed.

 

I'll sit out this Monday, it's cool - maybe I could submit next?

[Silk she/her]

You might still be able to submit this Monday--one person hasn't decided yet and the other hasn't got back to me, so I'll let you know. If you don't get to go this week I'll put you down next week for sure.

[Silk she/her]

Update: I've heard back from the other new member and he definitely wants to wait a week or two before submitting, which means that you'll likely be good to submit on Monday, Robinski. That's two slots claimed so far (three if the other new member decides on submitting).

 

Neongray being one of the new members in question, everyone say hi.

[neongrey]

Grey with an e, please. And yeah, I think I will submit, I've got a couple shorts ready to be gone over. I wouldn't want to take anyone's slot who's been here longer, but it looks like there's plenty of space.

[Robinski he/him]

Hi Neongrey with an 'e'!

[Silk she/her]

Whoops, sorry about that! But yes, I have Neongrey with an e (you, uh, may be stuck with that nickname now, sorry ), Robinski, and hawkedup so far for Monday.

 

Don't worry about taking anyone's slot--we always try to prioritize new folks and people who haven't submitted in a while to make sure everyone gets a shot.

[neongrey]

Haha, I've had worse.

 

Should it be mailed on Monday or before Monday? I can do either no problem, just thought I should ask before sending it in now, in case you want it then.

[andyk he/him]

I'd like in on Monday too please Silk, if that's OK.

 

And hello to Neongrey!
