Fic Talk > I Challenge You....
Reading challenge suggestion box and new rules for next year!
mare:
I ask them can I say that if I ever fail you? "I don't know..I just did!"
Rose:
What I like about this is even if you're not getting concrit I love the comments on little things throughout the story. Sometimes if it's been awhile it's easy to forget just what the heck you wrote in there LOL. That's happened to me with both WOOMD and RMTW in this challenge, but in a good way.
"good job" or "I like this" just feels lazy. Not to sound like an asshole lol. I love all reviews in a normal circumstances. But in challenge there should be more. I want to see thoughts as people are reading it.
mare:
It does come off as lazy.
I feel the same way. I love reading random comments & then having to go back & read the referenced chapter. It's another reason why I like to submit at least one really old story per challenge. It's also nice to see how much you've grown.

As for collaborations, I don't know. I mean in my case Julie knew I was submitting Undead and was totally cool with it. If I wasn't responding to reviews for both hers and my chapters, she would've responded to the ones for chapters she wrote.

Therein lies the problem. If the coauthor is not participating in the challenge but still accepting and responding to feedback...the person doing the challenge gets the work while the coauthor gets the glory. If they aren't participating, why should they be rewarded by having a person required to read and give quality feedback on their writing? Then, the person tasked with responding to that feedback is now off the hook for half the story.
FrickingKaos:
rose pretty much hit the nail on the head with that comment. That is what I meant. The one to three word sentances that make me wonder what it was about the chapter, or what the heck the person was talking about. I dont mind going back to read but if I am doing that for every chapter, it kinda isnt fair in a way to me as a writer.
