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

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.

- 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.

Date: 2020-09-05 05:02 pm (UTC)Mostly gen and m/f, mainly mainly Greek myth and Noragami. There are also a smattering of other fandoms that don't require much canon knowledge. In general, anything written for an exchange is more likely to be polished; anything written for Noragami is likely to have been written in a day.
For concrit, I'm fine with any level of bluntness.
A lot of what I'm looking for is getting an idea of areas of improvement I should focus on in the future and ways I should try to grow as a writer in the future, so any thoughts you have would be valuable! I am particularly interested in story structure, pacing, ways to make the writing more impactful, any missed potential, and anything that bothered you or caused you to backclick.
Replying here or DW PM work.
Thank you!
