Silk she/her Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Yup, slow week, go right ahead.
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Popping up with nothing useful to add, nor anything on topic. Instead I would like to say... HOLY COW, SILK IS STILL ALIVE?!
Silk she/her Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 It appears that the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated! ...Ahem. Yup, still alive (cue Portal music). I didn't know that was in question, actually. Hi! Long time no see, etc.
Dysphoric Kitten she/her Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I have an unfinished story and a poem collection to run through you (I hope they are sharp), which means I might post sometime next week - I think we all need some rest from me. Sorry for the early notice, I just know I'll forget you if I don't post here today
Mark Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 It's been a while since I was active around here, I've been awful busy with exams and school. Would I be able to submit a prologue and a first chapter for tomorrow, or maybe next Monday? I have a fair bit of work done that I want to run by you guys here, so I should hopefully be more active soon. I also obviously plan on giving critiques out as well. I don't want this to be a one way street.
Silk she/her Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 Welcome back, Mark! You're certainly welcome to post tomorrow if you'd like--in fact I think you're the only one submitting so far, since Tal said he's interested in submitting next Monday. Which means there are still four slots available for tomorrow and four slots available for next Monday.
Mark Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Excellent, thank you! I'll send it now, and post the thread. Edited September 28, 2014 by Mark
Ash he/him Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I know I'm a little late this week, but could I submit a short story? I can make it a REALLY short one lol. If so, I will have to send it out tomorrow, on Tuesday, as I'm at work tonight.
Silk she/her Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Gonnna throw this out to the rest of the group, since it's been a slow week. Anyone mind a late submission?
Robinski he/him Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 For my part, not at all! It takes me a couple of weeks to read them anyway at the moment, due to Write About Dragons, so apologies in advance.
Lord Juugatsu Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 If it's a slow week, I have no issues with submissions rolling in on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
CommandanteLemming he/him Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I don't have anythingnew but I have some old stuff laying around th at I could quick-edit and toss out
Dysphoric Kitten she/her Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Please, guys, post! I will gladly read it, no matter the day or two delay. I think most people here think similarly as well.
Ash he/him Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Ok I went ahead and sent it out, since no one nay sayed. If I jumped the gun, I apologize.
CommandanteLemming he/him Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I'm about to do the same thing - so if we get put in the stockades, at least we can talk to each other :-P
Silk she/her Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Dammit and my stockades won't actually be ready for stockading until next week.
Robinski he/him Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Solitary confinement for both of them!!
jParker Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Hey Silk, Do you mind taking me off the list? Life's been getting really busy and I'm not sure I'll be able to be a consistent participant. It's been great, but the next phase of things demands more of my time. Thanks.
Silk she/her Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Not a problem--just remind me what your email address is (either here or DM, whichever you prefer). Good luck, and if things change in the future, you're always welcome back here.
Mark Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I've got the next couple of chapters ready to go, so could I be put on the list for next Monday please?
Dysphoric Kitten she/her Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) I will be up for next Monday, too. I have three different pieces I can send, and I have not yet chosen which to send - feel free to tell me what seems the most interesting to you, or ask me about them via PM. They are: "Poems 1" - collection of poems "the History of Equality" - will probably end up a short story "a Bowl of Fava" - flash fiction, at least so far Edited October 1, 2014 by Tal Spektor
molah Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I completed writing my short story and just finished the first editing pass. I would like to submit next Monday. I'm currently at 8600 words, which is probably a bit long for our way of working. How long should each chunk be if I split it up?
Robinski he/him Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I'd like to submit on Monday, please - if there is a slot - I seem to have missed the rush!
Silk she/her Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 So that's Tal, Mark, Molah, and Robinksi for Monday, four slots so far (unless, Molah, you meant the following Monday the 13th rather than the upcoming Monday the 6th. I wasn't quite sure, so just correct me if I'm wrong). As for where to split it up: just try to find a place that you think works well as a stopping point (often a chapter or scene break) without worrying too much about the length of the individual submission, provided that each one falls under the 5k word limit or comes reasonably close. A submission that's 5600 words instead of 5000 words isn't going to raise any hackles, just make sure to keep it reasonable.
