This is for anyone who wants to say: "HEY! Look at my submission in workshop please!" New folks and lurkers don't be shy!~
There has been a noticeable decrease in reviews. If we all commit to at least one or two a day, everyone should have enough reviews. (Don't review just your friends either). This way even the new folks get attention.
How it works:
Post your submission. Let it sit a day or so. If you don't get anything, or if you need more help, post here.
Give us:
- Title
- Word count
- Genre/style
- Special notes
I'll bump this once a week with any reviews listed that don't have anything.
If you want to run the risk of losing thanks to your awesome review, sure. When I do thunderdome, I look over what they submit, but I don't do an actual LBL until the final is posted and the votes are in.
EDIT: I am working today, so I am going to finish up with your stuff Black.
I was on the fence about it. I looked over it, of course, but I wasn't sure if there was a rule (spoken or unspoken) about whether or not to critique it. On one hand, it seems a bit rude, or has the potential to be percieved as such. On the other hand, if done properly, feedback is feedback. I guess it would depend on the people involved. Personally, I think I'll abstain until I get to know the folks better. Less of a chance of someone taking something the wrong way.
Matt, thanks for starting this thread and keeping it going. When it comes down to it, WAR is fun and everything. I started that so that everybody would have an excuse to keep writing, and to maybe break everybody out of their comfort zone a bit. Broaden the creativity spectrum a tad.
But when it comes down to it, the workshop is the centerpiece of what LitReactor has to offer. It's why I'm here, and I think a lot of others. We ignore it to our detriment. So even though we're all having a bunch of fun over on the battlefield, let's rally a bit and re-emphasize the reason we're (mostly) all here.
Good job, Mr. Attack!
I can't take all the credit! After our talk the other night, I realized I should be a little more proactive in forming and maintaining social cohesion. This was the result of myself and the night crew (Panda, Kitts, Danny, Dave and many others) brainstorming to keep things going and together. So kudos to the night kids!
I'm going on a reviewing rampage tomorrow because I'm too tired tonight. If anyone wants me to review them, send me a PM or let me know here. I'm willing to review anything.
And of course I have my own whoring to do:
Sacrifice
1,800 words
Literary
Thunderdome entry -- I don't need much help on my other battle because I got some great tips on how to work on it, but this one is really rough. I could really use some notes on characterization and plot.
I'll be sure to go over your piece.
I knew you guys had been getting close and all but...
Well hey, you know what, I'm all about pumping the positive! And this kind of thing is positive! Unless, of course, Grigori has Matt chained up in his basement. That could be going a step too far in some ways of thinking. But I'll go 60/40 that's not what's going on here.
