Okay so back to this novel-I-wrote thing...
-
@trixter I'm curious to read it, but I haven't read a lot of dark fantasy.
@jezlyn It’s just like… more undead things and body horror than regular fantasy.
-
All right, any of my buddy-pals here interested in reading my first chapter? I’m open to feedback but mostly I need encouragement and accountability at this point. Also I will warn that this is dark fantasy and not exactly cozy.
I have the whole thing written, btw, but I’m doing one last round of revisions.
@trixter I haven’t “read” a book in quite a while but I’m interested.
-
@jim Do you mean you've like... tasted a book? Maybe just smelled one?

@trixter I smell a lot of books. Listen to books occasionally. Peruse books often. Doing a proper read happens rarely than I’d like.

@trixter I used to be one of ABurt's Critters ( critters.org ), but I mostly limited myself to scifi stuff. If you want a reader that's not exactly 'in your demo', send me your stuff

@GabeReal I remember that group! Submitted some stuff back in the day, long, long ago. I'll send a link.

@trixter Thanks, I got it
How do you want reviews sent back to you? I'm used to doing crits though email, so this is new territory for me.I was in Critters for a couple years or so, and had a 1 (-ish) crits/week ratio when I left. I eventually left because it got to be a chore, making myself do at least one crit every week. I don't begrudge it at all, though, it definitely improved my craft and I got to read lots of different short stories and novels that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten access to.
But I wasn't subbing to markets nearly as much as I had hoped I would be, and the aforementioned chore-y-ness of it, made me decide to cut ties. -

Keep in mind this is pretty far along in the process, so it shouldn’t be too rough. -
I have reached the stage where I am annoyed at anything I need to do that’s not writing which is unfortunate because I have a job.
My actual goal with finally putting this novel out into the world is so I can secretly post my non-canon sexy parts as fanfic.

Writers will literally be like “look at my favorite blorbo, he is so perfect and I love him,” and it’s a damp wizard with depression
