@emma-flournoy Wow, you sound so confident in my abilities. Yet I don’t think you’ve ever read any of my writing 😉 Thanks for the encouragement! 😀

@daeus The 19th of April our time (that’s be the 18th for you), so about a month away, but I’d prefer if I could hear from you a couple weeks before that 🙂 How long do you think it will take?

@perfectfifths Oh, it would take me a day normally, but I’ve got some other beta reading to do, so it might take a bit longer. I should have it done within a week though.

@daeus Would you mind (so long as it’s not too much trouble or doesn’t take up too you much of your time or anything) also reading through an entry I wrote for a second contest? (the Bunyan Fiction Writing contest) The max. word-count is similar (1,750, but I didn’t reach it) so it’s not very long. The deadline is April 1st, and I can post the guidelines I’m supposed to follow.

Don’t worry if you can’t. I’m only asking because I’d like as many opinions I can get before I publish, and I think it would be good to get one from someone I don’t know personally as well as from my friends and family 😉 🙂

@perfectfifths Uh, I probably could… I’ll finish the first one for now and then if I’ll let you know after that.
