Silk she/her Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 No worries, happens to the best of us! Also, there are still two slots for tomorrow if anyone wants 'em.
ICanDream Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Hey I’m in for the 15th. Sorry for my inactivity of late, the Christmas period has been frantic.
Robinski he/him Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I'd like to post Chapter 3 on Monday, if I may.
Silk she/her Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 Looks to me like we have five for Monday--@ICanDream, @toomsta, @Robinski, @kais, and new member @Chuck Hossenlopp.
Robinski he/him Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Wow, full house. First in some considerable time. Woop, woop! Edited January 14, 2018 by Robinski
Mandamon he/him Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I believe I have something worthwhile for submitting next Monday the 22nd...we will find out!
Robinski he/him Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Pretty please may I submit on Monday, subject to space being available.

kais Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) And me! I'm in for Monday. ETA: I see the unholy triumvirate is back. BWAHAHAHAHAHA Edited January 20, 2018 by kais

Curiosity's Splinter Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... Why are we laughing? *Looks nervously around room* *Coughs* Since I have yet to drown in my own flue-induced phlegm, it will likely be possible for me to read and review tomorrow. Prepare yourselves. I have a great hatred of proper, sane humane critiques; I abominate them, really. Now, I can make killer reviews, but only if I enjoy what I'm reading. I fear that is a bad habit, but all attempts to broaden my horizons shrank them instead, and so it remains with me still. Therefore, my old habits in more... strict (and by strict I mean wild, insane and abrasive) critique groups, shall come to the fore. I will produce for you, oh unsuspecting writers, the most exotic and unique critiques you have likely ever witnessed. From reading them you will come upon a new definition and outlook toward your works that you may never be able to truly unsee or escape, despite your hysteria and bewilderment, and possible cognitive harm. As I am part of Curiosity, it is likely I may Invest in your stories and thus become obsessed with them. Pray that doesn't happen. Being Invested by me results in all sorts of curiousness. You have been warned. P.S Curiosity does not enjoy being worshiped. Consequences may vary. Edited January 21, 2018 by Curiosity's Splinter

Just do have a care towards the critiquing guidelines, there's a point at which 'abrasive' crosses a line into 'detained for questioning'. Also, do be aware that, while there are some on this forum who are old, haggard and jaded--me, for example--and can dip into our salt reserves to add a pinch where necessary. However, there are also some young to very young submitters to the group. It's worth looking a people's profiles so you know how to pitch your comments. Edited January 22, 2018 by Robinski
Silk she/her Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Yep, I'd say @Robinski nailed it re: critiques. @kais, you're up for today too. 1
Curiosity's Splinter Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 My reference to abrasion was toward the old critique forum's grammar grand-masters *coughnazicough*. Not me! I'm so slick, you would call me an edgedancer if you didn't know better. I mean, the forgotten? The lost? Who needs us anyhow? *Extends tentacle toward email* Now, let's see what we got here...

Curiosity's Splinter Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Yes, that is the exact feeling I intended to invoke within you. Know that Curiosity, Shard of Inquisition, now probes your inmost secrets through his splinter. And stuff. Edited January 22, 2018 by Curiosity's Splinter
Chuck Hossenlopp Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 @kais gently reminded me that taking turns is a part of playing well with others. May I submit next week?
kais Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 We didn’t have a full five subs this week so it’s probably cool, but @Silk should make the call. 1
Curiosity's Splinter Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I am still iffy on when and how to submit. I do not use Google Docs, and don't intend to. It has never worked well with me and I've often lost docs I've sent to people before, if that says anything about my competence. I also have the work up for public consumption anyway, so I see no reason in emailing it to people when a link would suffice. Unless of course reviewers WANT a doc version, for editing purposes. (Edits and grammar critique aren't what I'm searching for, though)
Mandamon he/him Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 @Curiosity's Splinter, you can find all the submitting guidelines and formatting here: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/1369-welcome-to-reading-excuses/
