Hey all, 

I've got a 4400 word military sci fi piece I'm looking at getting feedback on. I'll happily critique whatever sub genre you got in exchange, any length. Let me know if you are interested.

I can take a look as well, if you'd like a second pair of eyes on it Smile

“Stories are the collective wisdom of everyone who has ever lived. Your job as a storyteller is not simply to entertain. Nor is it to be noticed for the way your turn a phrase. You have a very important job—one of the most important. Your job is to let people know that everyone shares their feelings—and that these feelings bind us. Your job is a healing art, and like all healers, you have a responsibility. Let people know they are not alone. You must make people understand that we are all the same.”

So cool there are helpful people in this forum.

If those two offers fall through, I can take a look.  

BTW: My Semi-finalist was a military sci-fi, so maybe that's the ticket to win. Watch the swearing ("damn" being the worst I used) and ensure there isn't too much blood splatter (Riddle me this; How can you have a military sci-fi without blood splatter?). I took the approach of "double-tap" and the worst blood splatter was, "arm, most of its head, and part of the archway wall had been blasted away. Its body wavered and then fell forward."

Other than that advice, have fun and write some good stuff.
