      Awesome! What do I do with my outline now that it’s written? Do you want it submitted somewhere?

      A cup of tea is cheaper than therapy.

        Up to you. If you want, you could post it wherever you’ll be posting everything else.

        I don’t remember if you were planning on sharing your full writing, but if you are, having someone else who knows where you’re going could be useful for feedback, but otherwise I guess it’s just for your own reference.

          I’m not going to share my outline because spoilers and also it’s kinda incoherent and unfinished anyways.

          How do the feedback groups work? I’m a little confused but I’m not sure what specifically to ask

            Oh, yeah, I should probably look at getting that set up. Thanks for the reminder!

            This is my plan: based on the questions I asked in that form, I’ll try to come up with a reasonable way to split people up so that everyone can read something they’ll hopefully enjoy. So, everyone will be assigned to read and give feedback on a specific other set of people’s writing (I don’t know how many. Two maybe?)

            Aside from that I didn’t have anything specific in mind. Just read those people’s writing when they post and give whatever feedback you want. People can obviously ask for specific feedback as well.

            Does that clear things up at all?

              @jonas @everyone else

              So, I’m sorry, I thought i could do this, but so far it looks like I can’t. Not for lack of time atm, but from lack of inspiration. I’ve been wracking my brain, I have tons of story ideas, but none of them are stories I want to tell right now. From either the plot, the character or the message, none of them are hitting me. I hope you all can understand, you probably do. For this reason, I’m dropping out. I may still read and critique if you guys so desire, but otherwise, I don’t think I’ll be participating.

              Sorry, I’m probably throwing a monkey wrench in your plans.

                  @koshka @whalekeeper @loopylin @highscribeofaetherium @elishavet-pidyon @loopylin @whalekeeper

                  Okay, I have divided us up into who will give feedback to who. This is split up as well as I could so that everyone gets to read something their interested in, but other than that it’s random.

                  If the data I’ve received is accurate, there are actually only four people who plan on posting chapters for feedback: Loopylin and Koshka (who both plan on only posting some chapters), and HighScribe and myself. As a result, we have plenty of people for giving feedback.

                  I thought two was a reasonable number of people for each person to give feedback to, so I went with that (although we can rearrange things if anyone wants to do less or more.) This means each person who wants feedback gets 3 or 4 people to read their writing. Without further ado, here’s how things ended up being split:


                  @koshka
                  giving feedback to: HighScribe and Loopylin


                  @whalekeeper
                  giving feedback to: Koshka and Jonas


                  @grcr
                  giving feedback to: Koshka and Jonas


                  @highscribeofaetherium
                  : Jonas and Loopylin


                  @jonas
                  (me): HighScribe and Loopylin


                  @elishavet-pidyon
                  : Koshka and HighScribe


                  @loopylin
                  : HighScribe and Jonas

                  I’m completely open to changing these if anyone happens to have any problems with it.


                  @ellette-giselle
                  and @theducktator , you originally said you would be willing to give feedback to other people but didn’t end up filling out the second form. If you still want to give feedback, you still can, but we do have enough people that if you don’t want to anymore, we’ll be fine.

                    oh no! Did I not put that I had planned on sharing my chapters for feedback? ? It’s ok if it’s too late or anything.

                        You had put down that you were just going to share word count, but it’s totally not too late to change it. Give me a minute to straighten this out.

                            I’d love to, I just don’t see myself having the time. I’m leaving in July for a big trip across country, plus I’m doing a tone of my own writing and editing, and running a business. I think I might be swamped. ?

                              Whatever feedback, I guess. People might ask for something specific, but other than that, it’s up to you. I’m just trying to set things up so that people can be motivated to write and have people to talk to about it, I don’t care exactly what people want to do.
