concrit_xHello! Thanks to everyone who's posted concrit or is working on it. Please post your concrit by end of 8 May 2021 (see time here), or get in touch (jukebox.mod@gmail.com, Dreamwidth PM, or comment below (unscreened)) if you think you won't be able to. I don't have a specific thing to do at that precise minute, but I'll review who still needs crit and therefore might need a pinch hit after that time.
According to my spreadsheet, about 2/5 of concrit has been posted - nice work. Thanks to people who've posted off the comm, then also commented on the comm to make it easy for me to track what'd been completed.
As well as a deadline reminder, I had two questions/discussion points. You know, optionally.
1) Resources. In the course of writing up concrit, have you called on any particularly useful resources to link? Grammar, for example - a concrit review should go beyond grammar, but sometimes it's handy to have a quick link to explain comma splices or the rules around adjective order & compounding or how to conjugate lay/lie. Or general writing resources.
2) Inspiring questions. In requests for feedback, are there any particular things a person wants you to look for that have given you an interesting "in" to a work, or where person B has asked for a particular focus that helps you when doing a close reading for person C? I personally might nab "How would you summarize my story" for next time I throw my work in.
