/lit/ - Literature

Alright, I won't be accepting any more posts beyond this one.

I'll be starting to critique each post above over the next hour or so.

I ask one favor to everyone who receives critique: give your opinions on somebody else's post in this thread.

And to anyone who would be kind enough, here is something of mine:

It's a shitty genre fiction story so keep that in mind, just writing for practice/shits and giggles/for a girl whose into that crap.

Context is the narrator was lost in a desert for several days, separated from his traveling companion, and rescued by an anchor that fell from the sky.

Its shit, I know.

Nah, I'll start critique in about an hour.

Last call for anyone lurking.

OP here, I just want to emphasize the critique will start in 12-14 hours. I will be happy to read it over, but tonight I've been preoccupied.

So to anyone who posts, check back tomorrow afternoon.

Hey /lit/

Our critique threads get swarmed with posts, but rarely do any of them get a response, and if they do, its usually obnoxious/useless critique.
Not only that, but I'm sure many writers also abandon the thread before they even see their replies.

So, I wish to give a temporary solution to anybody who is lurking tonight.

Post your shit here and in the morning I will go through every post and give it useful critique. Expect me to be brutally honest. I will point out what you're doing wrong and show you what you're doing right.

This is a guarantee you will get useful critique within 24 hours of your post. Once I start giving critique, however, I will not accept new posts.

I am not a poet, I enjoy poetic writing, but not poetry. So please, none of that shit.

I will try to be in-depth, but I am not an editor/publisher, so keep that in mind and think of my critique as an outsider's view to your work.
