Thanks Dave and amoskalik! (I wouldn't be too impressed by it btw, it got an R from WotF lol)

[amoskalik]

I have a story, Manifest Destiny, up for critique this week if anyone has time to take a look.

Hi Aaron,

It made my day, I needed a good laugh!

Thanks! I got some very differing reviews on that story as you can imagine.

[zali]

I have another story up in the queue this week if anyone wants to take a look.

[amoskalik]

I have a story due out this week if anyone wants to take a look. I have to warn you though, it's a long one at 10K words.

I see that Matt and Stewart have a story in the queue as well. I definitely want to look at that one

[MattDovey]

Indeed we do. About 5k, and a very silly fantasy thing it is too. Confession: the pissing dog statue is the fault of my corrupted imagination, athough Stewart is hardly innocent as far as ridiculous ideas go.

Sorry I missed your piece the other week Zaan--being kept too busy by other things over my lunch breaks and not getting round to much critting at all :(

Thanks for the summer vacation reading, Aaron, Matt and Stewart.

No, thank you for a very useful and detailed critique.

[zali]

I've a story up again in the queue this week if anyone's interested.

No worries Matt, I've missed a few weeks myself. School's doing its best to keep me on my toes.

And Aaron, I'm sorry to have missed your story. I saw Matt's but seem to have overlooked yours. Also the story I have up this week is one you've already critted, just mildly tweaked and with a different title, so no need to re-crit it as I don't think it's changed all that much.

[Jason Parker]

Whoa I remember using that site back in 2002. I totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

[dbeavers]

I've got a story up this week: Man, Dog, Robot. It's an overhaul of a previous version I ran through Critters. If you have time would especially appreciate any thoughts on how the story fits, or doesn't fit, with WOTF. It runs on satire and a pinch of crude humor. Not sure it fits the WOTF mold.

[MattDovey]

I fell off the critters wagon over the summer, I'm afraid, but I'm clambering back on now. And I have one up this week, a mere slip of a thing at 1500 words, about fairies, if anyone has the time. Cheers!

[MattDovey]

I have wielded my MIGHTY and NEWFOUND powers of pro-authorship to sneak a story into the queue at zero notice :D 3000 words of magical realism turning to horror, up for another couple of days. It's got 13 crits already, so enough to be going on with; mostly posting this here in case any of you are nosey and want to have a gander at a rough first draft of mine (and this one is rough; written it and thrown it straight in the queue, because it feels like it needs big stuff doing to it still so not bothered polishing the prose yet).

[MattDovey]

It may amuse some of you to look at my story in the critters queue this week, because it's the story I wrote in the WotF 24 hour challenge last year, based on the stone Tim gave me:


Spoilers: it's not that great. I remembered it being better before I dig it up. But on the bright side, seems like I really have grown as a writer over the last year.

[amyhg]

I came across your story "The Space Between Souls" in this week's manuscripts. It's not as bad as you think. I hope you're able to get re-inspired on it and find it a good home. ;)

I have one coming up in the cue next week so look for one by Amy Henrie Gillett if you want to return the favor. ;) I work on my stories in the same way I paint, one coat at a time and each layer adds more details. Just an FYI, I'd say this story is only two or three coats in. I won't mention the name here because I'm thinking of using it for this quarters entry.

[amyhg]

Just an FYI. I've got a story in the Critters cue this week (until the 24th) for any critters out there. My first attempt at a light fantasy short story. Look for me name: Amy Henrie Gillett. ;)

[hlreinhold]

Hi Amy, thanks for the heads up. I'd have missed it otherwise! I'll write you a crit sometime over the next few days. :)

Hi Amy, I'll make sure to read yours then! Mine hits the top of the queue in two weeks, I'm excited/nervous/terrified.

[reigheena]

My story "Soulmates" is up on critters this week, if anyone's interested.

I'll take a look!

[LDWriter2]

Anyone up for the 19th through 24th?




I used to run my stories through Critters but that never worked for me, even after three times so I quit sending in stories but I still like to crit stories so I do.

[reigheena]

I have another story in the queue this week - "After the Escape." It is unchanged from when it won Silver Honorable Mention in Q1 (So, amy has already given me a critique. I just wanted some more opinions before I dive into story surgery.)

Cool. I'll take a look after I finish my Q3 submission.

[hlreinhold]

Whoops! I almost forgot. Working on a critique now, reigheena.

[reigheena]

My story "2 Flowers" is now available for critique at critters. It's admittedly a bit of a mess, but wanted some opinions before refining it.

[amyhg]

Hey, got another story going through Critters this week (March 14-March 21). Look for "Little Eyes" by Amy Henrie Gillett. I'd appreciate the input!
