I sent off Discharge to Writers of the Future yesterday.  *crosses fingers*

Crap, I was hoping I'd have the chance to critique it before you did. I feel guilty now.

(I'll still critique it when I have the chance, of course.)

Anyway, best of luck.

Don't worry Silk.  The version you have is completely obsolete now anyway.  Of the fifty or so people who have read it (or a draft of it) I think only two didn't like it, and those two stopped reading after five pages, so my faith in them only goes so far.  What I'm saying is, if you'd like to read the polished version, I can send it to you.  Most people have loved the story.

Yeah, send it my way! I'm curious if nothing else. :)

Though it goes without saying that I probably won't get to it right away. ::)

What Silk said applies to me as well :) I'd love to see it.

Hey all. I have some time to critique this coming week but so much back log that I don't think I will be trying to do all of them since I'm not sure who is still active and still looking for critiques for older stuff. So, let me know if there is one you still waiting for more feedback on if you have an updated version of a submit you want some fresh eyes on. Otherwise I'll just pick out a few to do and let the pieces fall where they may.... :P
I've already conquered the world. This is exactly the way I want it.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as Frog.  I have two months worth of stories to read.  If you want someone to a take another look at your story, pipe up now or forever hold your peace.  Otherwise, I'm just going to pick and choose...

Apparently I need to write more since all of you have time now.  Off to try not to butcher my next chapter.
I don't have good days. I have great days, where I'm a magician ridding the world of all evil, or at least everything I don't like. And then I wake up, and it's back to work for me.

Well, I know I haven't Shivertongue. I'll do your two chapters next (that is all there is, right?). Anyone else?
And yes, falcon. This week would be the week to do it. Get moving.  >:(

I also will be doing this. FYI, I only got two critiques on "To Wish Upon a Dragon", so I'm definitely interested in more if you have the time. :)

Yes, I believe you were. Thanks for  that, by the way.

You're next Ryos (Muhahahaha!)   


Edit: And done. Anyone else? I think I could probably do at least 2-3 more....

Making probably-final edits on an older manuscript right now. Most of what I've got for it will be easy stuff to fix. As for the biggest problem with the ms, I've finally figured out WHAT I do in order to fix it, just not how. It's looking kind of unlikely that I will have this ready by Friday. Oh well. ::)

LTU is very surprised at how fast he is moving through Six Stones.  It must be because everyone gave him good idea that worked.  That must be it.  That means this success is your faults.
