May I remind forum members that I'm still happy to offer critiques and sometimes exchanges despite being pro'ed out of the contest. Obviously if I knew how to win I'd have won, but I managed a semi-finalist and a couple of silvers. I don't however tell people their stories are good if I don't think they are and I do point out faults if I find them. PM me or (if we've exchanged before and you have my address) email me.
NB don't expect me to know what quarter of what volume it is!

Re: Critiques by Ishmael
I could use another check over on mine between 6,000 and 6,600 words. And it is sort of, kind of, well its just plain speculative.

I haven't punted yet because someone took a look at my story and sent a bunch of suggestions. I wanted to fix those things first. Then I got involved with my soon-to-be released novel and now I need to spend quality time on my story this week. Depending on how many suggestions I use-probably most of them-I plan to be done by this weekend. Would I still be able to send it to you then?
