Well, since you're on the reading list, and haven't been submitting I would say that the fact that your even willing to do one a week is just awesome. And I don't think either of us were trying to imply that you should feel like you always have to do 2-4 week, but the fact that we have been able to do at least that many so far made us believe that we were keeping up, to answer Silk's question. And I have personally found that as I've done more of these critiques, I can do them faster and they are less intimidating. My advice is still far from perfect, but that's what you get for asking someone that is just learning herself. :)
I've already conquered the world. This is exactly the way I want it.

I want to agree with Flo...however...

If we all agree to at least critique 1 submission a week, with over 26 member of RE, then that should guarantee several critiques for all submissions.  We can ask everyone to try for more, but I really don't think that will be necessary.  The key will be to look for those submissions that have not been critiqued and start there.  I agree with Flo that 3 or 4 a week is kinda a pain.

Maybe you might think that will lead to less critiques, but I only got 3 critiques for my last submission.  But the 3 that I got was more beneficial than I could have imagined.  I appreciate that.  Anything else probably would be repetitive.

I say stick with the weekly submissions.  My two cents.  ;D

It's probably too early for this, so forgive me if it is.  I would like to submit next Monday the 19th.  Thanks!

Well, everyone can feel free to laugh at me or whatever because I can't submit this week :'( I was about 2/3 done with a chapter when I asked to submit then all hell broke loose. My dorm was burglarized, the UGA network went down, and I found out my little sister is getting married on Valentine's day all one right after the other over from Thursday through Monday. Now not only is my chapter STILL only 2/3 done with the first draft, but my precious TV is gone along with one of my laptops. Someone must die.
So there it is, start laughing at me if you want, I'm going to go wollow is self-pity and plot the death of the infidel who stole my stuff.

I'm a member of the ELC, and if they start laughing, I refuse to join them.....I think your reasons for missing are sound. I forgive you (since I'm an Absolver, I can do this), and because I forgive you, no one can mess with you.....:P

And yeah, I also hope you didn't lose any important data. Cuz that would just suck (more than it already does anyway...)

Welcome, Pipe.

M: It's not too early.

We'll let you off the hook without laughing this time, wcarter. I'll join the others in expressing sympathy/hope that you didn't lose anything valuable.

Back to work for me.
