Readers survey (To be completed once the person reading your story is finished)

Story: When I Grow Up

Person reading it: Rose

1) When you found out this person was reading your story what were your initial thoughts?  I was actually surprised she picked my story, let alone this one. I also knew she gives concrit so I was really nervous knowing I submitted stories for the challenge that are not well known or are my best work.


2) Did your reader leave you an adequate amount of feedback and was it helpful to you? She left concrit and regular feedback as well. It helped a lot because I don't normally get that on my stories.

3) Did you find yourself going back to read your story as a result of the feedback? Yes I did and I realized it needs a lot of work.

4) Do you have any questions for the person reading your story?  Not really.

5) Overall did you find the experience a good one or a bad one?  It started off kinda bad because I am not used to concrit but it got easier. I think it was a good experoence for me anyway.

Carter:


Name of story:  Remember Me This Way

Story: As You Are

Person reading it: Steph

1) When you found out this person was reading your story what were your initial thoughts?

I felt like this would fall pretty well within Steph's comfort zone as she is one of the few people other than myself to tackle historical AU as of late. Plus, I knew she would leave honest feedback.

2) Did your reader leave you an adequate amount of feedback and was it helpful to you?

She left plenty of feedback on every chapter! It was definitely nice to read and engage in discussion about the story but there wasn't much there by way of suggestions or concrit. Reading her final survey with the answers to my question was most helpful. :)

3) Did you find yourself going back to read your story as a result of the feedback?

Nope, I know how it ends lol

4) Do you have any questions for the person reading your story?

I asked my questions in my feedback replies and Steph answered them in her final survey!

5) Overall did you find the experience a good one or a bad one?

Good! I was happy to get another set of eyes on a story I've always been unsure about and it was nice to hear from someone I have a lot of respect for that she thought it was good.

Rose:
Tracy, you said no one's ever really given you concrit before. If you've asked and still never got it, it might be in how you react. To be honest that's why in the first review I warned you that none of it was personal. I felt like you were gonna get really upset and angry at me. Which wasn't too far off the mark. I think if people knew you weren't going to react that way, more people would be willing to give you completely honest feedback.  :)

Story: Remember Me This Way

Person reading it: Carter

1) When you found out this person was reading your story what were your initial thoughts?
Hopes that she wouldn't totally hate it LOL.

2) Did your reader leave you an adequate amount of feedback and was it helpful to you?
She gave tons of feedback, it was nice seeing her comment on the story. I missed getting positive feedback cause I've been flaky on writing and updates. I think it's helping to kick me back into it.

3) Did you find yourself going back to read your story as a result of the feedback?
Yes on certain chapters. I remember well what happens but not always where in the story LOL.

4) Do you have any questions for the person reading your story?
Not really

5) Overall did you find the experience a good one or a bad one?
So far, so good!
