What do you call a fish with no eyes?
Fsh.
Why am I telling Dad jokes in response to my own cry for help? To try and make someone look at this thread in the hope they'll say 'yes' of course!
Warning: more dad jokes to come ?

If you still need a fresh set of eyes to go over your work, I can take a look. I have a piece of work that needs someone new to look at. I would be happy to do a swap.

@md Hey Diaz! I think I'm good with this piece for now as there have been comments that I need to work on and I am still waiting on one critique. However, I have a *different* piece I would gladly critique swap on. Its shorter at more like 4500 or so, but its scifi...ish. DM if sounds like a plan ?
