OFFERS | Giving feedback
I'm interested in giving feedback on [delete irrelevant options]:
-Specific extracts, including drafts
-My choice of an author's published works
I will not read the following content: ... [for example, E or M ratings; infidelity; eye gore]
I'm familiar with these fandoms: ...
[As well as listing specific fandoms - or if listing them is a hassle - maybe say if you're more likely to be familiar with fandoms in a particular category, like live-action Western TV, or JRPGs, or YA books.]
My preferred style of feedback is: ... [Please describe how you hope to approach feedback, especially in terms of tact, bluntness, praise, or focusing on areas of improvement.
For example, "Don't match me to someone who only wants to hear about flaws - I want to talk about what I enjoyed as well," or "Please match me to someone who welcomes blunt feedback - it's easier for me to communicate if I'm not anxious about damaging confidence with an awkward phrase," or "Please send first-time crit-seekers to me - encouragement is my strong suit," or "I can adapt my style to my recipient's preferences, but I naturally fall closer to the direct end of feedback than the gentle end." You won't get a perfect match but I hope to avoid total clashes.]
Other notes about what I'd like to give concrit on: ...
[For example, if you'd rather give detailed line-by-line feedback on shorter works, or answer specific questions on longer works (up to 10k? longer, up to 50k?), or you have preferred genres you'd like to read even if you can't be matched by fandom.]
Here's a text box of the Giving Feedback sections to fill in, if you like
Copy what's in the text box into your comment and then fill it out if you find that more convenient than copying from above.
Please choose one of the following four options, and delete the three that don't apply:
1 - I don't want feedback - I'm signing up to offer concrit only.
(Obviously you don't have to fill in the rest! Thank you!)2 - I will make a post to the community that includes all the Getting Feedback details requested here.
(Please make your post as soon as convenient after commenting with the offer details above.)3 - I want my request to appear as a post on the community, but I can't post it. I've filled in the Getting Feedback details below for the mod to post for me.
4 - I don't want my request to appear publicly; I'd rather the mod share it only with my assigned crit-givers. I've filled in the Getting Feedback details below for the mod /OR/ I will email the Getting Feedback details to the mod at morbane@gmail.com.
If you choose 3 or 4, please fill in the rest of the information. If you choose 1 or 2, you can stop your comment here.
REQUESTS | Getting feedback
I want to receive feedback by [choose all that suit you]:
-Email
-Discord PM
-Comment on my DW post in this community
-Comment where the work is published (AO3, ff.net, LJ)
-Other [specify]
Here are the works I want feedback on (optional: and my safe works are...):
[if you're including long extracts in a post, please consider using
cuts]
[If you plan to link to something like an AO3 or ff.net profile, or journal, please say which works you are or aren't interested in getting feedback on (ie, anything complete and written after 2016? Anything except for specific "safe" works?)]
Fandoms and content notes:
[If you want feedback on unpublished pieces, or pieces that don't otherwise have content tags, please say what fandoms they're in and also include notes on whether they include major character death, gore/violence, rape, noncon, or dubcon, underage sex, incest, or other content that may be offputting. I may also send you questions about more specific content before matching you with your concrit-givers. If your works are published to a site with tags or where they have content notes already, you don't need to repeat that information for this question.]
Feedback questions:
[If you have general questions about your writing that could apply to any of your works, or, if you are asking for feedback on specific works or extracts, please include any questions you have! Ie: does the ending work, were the characters' motivations clear, did the twist make sense in retrospect, did you like the descriptions…]
The style of feedback I prefer to receive is: ... [Please describe what style of feedback would be ideal.
For example, "Please focus on where I can improve - don't worry about sugarcoating your criticism," or "I would appreciate gentle feedback; don't lie to me, but please be kind," or "I'm interested in getting your general impressions at all - good or bad. However, some cushioning when describing what you didn't like would be good." You will not get a perfect match, but I hope to avoid total clashes. You may also want to indicate how interested you are in spelling and grammar fixes.]
