September 2020 Madness Round

[morbane]

Madness will happen on this post and in its comments. Thanks for playing!

Getting concrit
Ask for concrit by replying to this post (until the end of September 7). Anyone's welcome, whether or not you just took part in the August round. If you did sign up, you're welcome to ask for concrit on the same or different pieces, or ask for responses to more specific or different questions or the same ones. Concrit is not guaranteed.

Please include:

• How you want to receive feedback

ie, by reply to your own comment, by posting a review where the work is published (AO3, ff.net, LJ...), or by another means. (Note: comments are not screened on this post, so if you post a contact detail, anyone can see it.)

• Any specific questions you want concrit-givers to focus on, and what level of bluntness you prefer, if relevant

• Which works you want feedback on, and if any of your works are "safe" or should be skipped over

• What fandoms and content, roughly, your works contain - especially if asking for feedback on just a few pieces.

You can comment asking for concrit until the end of September 7 in your time zone.

It's okay to be more specific about the kind of concrit you want in Madness than in a normal round.

If you are willing to provide feedback on the feedback you get - "Yes, this was what I was looking for / I was surprised you focused on this aspect / Actually, that wasn't quite what I was asking / etc" - consider saying so. Please be constructive in these replies as well.

Sign-ups are closed now. Responses only please!

If you don't want any more concrit, reply to your own comment to say so.


Giving concrit
You don't need to wait until September 8 to reply - go ahead as soon as you see an author or work you'd like to give feedback to.

Please respect authors' safe works, and pay attention to their specific questions, the level of bluntness they prefer, and where they want you to post the feedback. If you want a starting point, see a rough guide to points to consider in concrit.

If you'd like to pay it forward and don't have anything to say about the stories linked below, see the rest of the open-for-concrit tag.

OMG! You're the author of the f/f marriage of convenience fic? I realize this isn't appropriate for the fest, but may I just say I've always loved your Person of Interest fic, and now I find myself compelled to worship at your feet.

If I find a sliver of time in my ridiculous work schedule during a 103 degree heatwave, I'll try my best to squeeze in a bit of feedback somewhere. Although I doubt it will be on the Regency fic. I love it too much. If you ever publish it somewhere, I will buy it in a heartbeat.

That's so kind of you! And yes, that one's mine. :) I do miss Person of Interest fandom circa the S2/S3 hiatus. That was such a great time. I would love feedback on anything you'd like to critique, but no worries if you don't have the chance. Hope you can stay cool!
