Now that most of you have picked your stories, feel free to start reading them. Emily is not by a computer but will be participating and once she picks her two stories, I'll go ahead and pick my last one. I don't think Shania is going to participate but other than that I think you guys are all set, so let me explain what happens just in case you want to get started early.
On June 1st I'll be making another thread which we will use for the remainder of the challenge. Once a week I'll be jumping in there just to see how everyone is doing with the reading. I do like people to go in and comment on things they have read and ask questions to the authors when you feel you need to. You should be leaving feedback on every single chapter this year. I changed this rule from last year, but otherwise the same rules apply as before.
Authors SHOULD be responding to your reviews as well. That's where you'll have most of your dialogue with your writers. Any specific questions about plot points you have etc... should be done in there as not to give too much away in the challenge thread, but I'll also post general topic questions for us to answer.
There will also be three different surveys that need to be filled out during the course of this challenge for each story you read.
The halfway there survey (when you're at the halfway point of the story you're reading)
The final survey (when you are done)
The writer's survey (about your experience with the person reading your story)
Try to pace yourself accordingly. You have plenty of time to read these stories, so don't binge read them both in two days time! LOL
Have fun! And if you have any questions for me about this, post them here!
