Sorry for the oversight, Erik. I'm terribly scattered right now.

If I miss things like that in the future, feel free to shoot me a PM as well.

For the upcoming Monday, I have Reaves (maybe), Chaos, Renoard, and Sortitus. Missing anyone else?

I figured I'd go ahead and confirm myself as definitely submitting something... the new topic will appear somewhere in the next five minutes  :D

However, I will not be submitting a chapter. Its going to be a little bit different...I may send out an email, but it won't have any Crystalheart attached. Just check out the post.

Thanks for adding me to the list.

One question, how will I know when it is my turn to submit?

Am I the only one who didn't get a submission from either Sortitus or Chaos?

Erik: Submission dates are every Monday (you're by no means obligated to submit every week). When you want to submit for a given week, let me and Chaos know by posting so in this thread by the Saturday previous to when you want to submit.

We ask you to post a couple of days in advance so that we can keep tabs on how many people submit a week; we don't want to overload everybody with a dozen submissions in a week.

So far we haven't had to turn anybody down because of too many submissions in a week (if we have to start doing that, we'll be favouring those who haven't submitted in a while), but either way, after you post here saying you want to submit, Chaos and/or I will reply and let you know.

I'm disappointed not to see a submission from Chaos or sorti...

Silk, unless you're on there with an old screen name, you aren't on the distribution list.  Is that by design?

Ah. I'm on there with the name Raethe,  my original handle. I just forgot to change it, I guess.

Ah, ok. Well I have a book that I have about 5 chapters written for. I would love some feedback on them whenever I can get a turn.

Curses! I'm late!

I've spent all of the past three days working on this, and I learned how accursedly slow my writing.

I hoped to submit it before midnight, but I forgot. So, you get it about fifteen minutes (my time zone) after Monday. But! I'm of the opinion that the day should actually switch over at 3am. It would be much better for college students. So, under that logic, I'm totally on time.

My short story is on its way just as soon as I add the new Reading Excuses people to my email list. I haven't submitted in... too long...

If it makes you feel better, it's still twenty minutes to midnight in my time zone. I concur anyway. 3am makes so much more sense.

I'm pretty slow too. (*ducks objects thrown by people who were around for this year's NaNoWriMo*) I wanted to be done both genres of my portfolio and my essay by like ... 6pm. It's quarter to midnight and I'm still working on the second portfolio genre. Fortunately it's a pretty wimpy essay. >>;

Erik: You're welcome to submit this upcoming Monday. I don't know that you'll be able to push all five chapters through at once, though, depending on how long your chapters are.

I think we ballparked a word limit of 4000ish per submission back when we first started... Of course, due to the fact that I, um, kind of, sort of, haventreadanysubmissionsforthelastfourmonths *koff* I don't know if people are sticking to that.

Hey, guys, you who've been paying attention? What's the average word length of submissions at these days?

(I'm sorry. I am a bad bad person.)
