Right then!

 

I figure it's time to jump off into the deep end and see if I can get a story critique from you lovely souls! ?

This'll be my first such outing here, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm unsure of standard practices. Like, do we tend to send the story to be reviewed over email or is it easier to add the viewer to a google doc? Whatever is easier for y'all would be fine with me.

I am certainly willing to do an exchange, though being the newbie I am, I'm entirely not sure how helpful my advice would be.

 

Anyway, if anyone would be interested in taking a look, let me know.

R- 1 or 2. Or 3. Possibly 25.
HM-8
SHM-0
SF-1
F-0
W-Inevitable

Hi Donovan.

I'm a relative newbie to the forum as well. Happy to do a critique swap (although you seem to already have heaps of offers).

I actually wanted to mention the critiques here are fantastic. I got one done for last Quarter and the feedback I received was very encouraging, but also incredibly useful. 

So let them have at your story!

It's worth it.

 

Scott
