Thanks for the update, Mare!  If anyone else feels like reading 00Carter, go for it, but don't feel obligated - Mel has been awesome about giving us feedback, so neither Rose or I feel like we haven't gotten anything in return for reading other people's stories.

Good, because that's all that really matters. Mel has rocked with giving you guys steady and great feedback.Yay Mel! :)

Right, if anyone wants to take it on, cool. If not, Mel's been amazing with the feedback. Sorry I slacked a bit Mare, it's been a weird week for me, lots of family stuff going on lol.

Sorry I have been a slacker...I did some more reading then my life got rocked by my lovely little unexpected weekender in the hospital.  I will try to get some more read, I'm still healing but improving.

Just do what you can! As long as you finish the challenge by the end of the month and aren't totally flaking, that's all the matters. LOL Glad to hear you're feeling better Darby!

Aww thanks for telling me how much I rock guys lol. I love it. Just want to let everyone know that my router on my computer died so I only have my Internet on my phone. I'll be heading back to NC on Friday so I'll hopefully be able to check in a bit there. I will continue reading and reviewing 00Carter just please be patient with me.

I said I would post this on Monday but since this place is so dead tonight, I thought i'd post it now.

This is the readers final survey. Fill it out only if your reader has finished your story, and be honest! If you feel like your reader didn't give you adequate feedback, now's the time to ask for more details or clarification, etc... but remember only ask if you are willing to listen to the answer.

I'll be back on Monday for more bugging! :) (You know you all love me!) lol

Who was the person reading your story?

1. Did you get regular feedback on your chapters from your reader?

2. Did you respond to that feedback?

3. Did your reader take the time and post about what they read in the forum thread?

4.  Do you feel like you got the amount of feedback you were expecting?

5. Was there anything that the reader of your story said that surprised you?

6. Do you feel like the feedback you got was constructive and something you would use as a tool to help you out later?

7. Overall did you think this was a positive experience? Why or why not?

8. Is there any question you have for your reader that you would like them to elaborate on?

9. Would you consider taking part in something like this again?

10. Do you have any comments for your reader or anyone in general who may want to read your story in the future?
