2007-05-19 [Mister Saint]: Alright... how to start? What I'm expecting her is a very low level of participation, but if that's the case we can be more inclusive and take less critique jobs at a time. If there are any thoughts or plans for this, by all means, let me know.

2007-05-19 [Eleanor]: It would seem to me that one way to attract clientele would be to leave links to this page in comments on actual writings that we deem worth dressing up for publication purposes. After all, I gather your original plan for this wasn't to just improve the base level of writing of members in general, but to target those who are really intent on sending their work on to actual pulishers. To that end, we could always start with each other. You show me yours, I'll show you mine.

2007-05-20 [Mister Saint]: I see! That does sound like the way to go. Let's see... I'll hunt through my pieces, find one, and go ahead and submit it up here as well. We'll just lead by example.

2007-05-20 [Eleanor]: How shall we conduct the critiques: in the comments section of this page, or on a separate wiki created for that purpose?

2007-05-20 [Mister Saint]: Let's go with a wikipage. If we do it on this page, we're liable to have comments disappear over time, or get too convoluted with different stories' comments. We'll use the format [Storyshop-story name@wiki]. Sound good?

2007-05-20 [Eleanor]: Sounds good to me.

2007-05-20 [Mister Saint]: Hmm... I think, since for time's sake we'll need to keep these chunks pretty short, we might do sectionals? Something like... the first time we might do a story's opening, the second time we might do a certain kind of scene, or something?

2007-05-21 [Eleanor]: I have downloaded and printed out the piece you uploaded, and it seems quite short and manageable to me. I’ll get back to you soon after I’ve had a chance to read and “red pencil” it.

2007-05-21 [Mister Saint]: hee... awesome. Shoot me one in return, then?

2007-05-22 [Calann]: Hmmm, interesting. *haunts*
I won't be submitting anything, because unless I move to Britain or North America, I won't be getting any of my English text officially published either way - or, at the very least, it would be darned much more difficult.
