Thanks for a great turnout for what I hope will be the first of many of these challenges!
The stories are up for you to read on a beautiful site created for us by
Egeria! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Here are a few guidelines for reading and reviewing:
1. Remember, for now the stories are anonymous. Please do not reveal which story you wrote. We will unveil the authors in a few days.
2.
Story authors/participants - Please leave feedback for
each story. That's why we're doing this...so we can learn from each other and improve as we go along. And because this is anonymous for now, please remember to leave some feedback for your own story too.
3.
Lurkers - You are most welcome to read and review the stories too! We just ask that you follow and respect the guidelines here as well. The exception is that you may leave reviews for
as few or as many stories as you like. (Authors - Please do not take offense if a lurker reviews only one or two stories or does not review yours.)
4. Please make your feedback as
positive and
constructive as possible. Constructive means that it's meant to be helpful and it's said in a nice way.
There will be zero tolerance for meanness here from anyone.
5. Please try to make your feedback a little more than just "Good job" or "Nice story". We all look forward to hearing some thoughtful input on our work.
And for now let's focus on the
content of the story more so than the format, grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. For some people this is their first fic and/or English may not be their first language, and those are all things that a good beta could fix if this weren't a challenge.
6. Feedback should be posted here in this thread and can be done all in one post or in several posts.
7. Remember,
we aren't voting for favorites on this or anything. We're just reading, reviewing, and enjoying!
And now, what you've all been waiting for...the link to the first
Nick Fic Song Challenge!
Note: If you see an error in your story or any problems on the page, please PM
Egeria ASAP.
