Hi everyone,

My apologies, I've been very busy and completely forgotten about the ready for market challenge for August.

This challenge is for stories that have been through a critique process from an independent third party (e.g. here in F&F) and are ready to submit to market -- after a final bit of polish in the RFM challenge. Crits are generally short, direct, though polite and constructive and helpful.

Though it might seem obvious that in order to be published, you need to submit stories to markets, the final step of submitting your story can be daunting. The RFM challenge is both a call to arms to submit your story to market and a chance to have another pair of eyes look over your story before it goes out.

Here are the rules (basically, just go look in the challenge forum and read the post...I'm bad at URLs):

If you have something you'd like to offer, please so indicate in this thread and then go to the challenge thread.

Cheers,

Nick

Hi everyone,

Bump. The August RFMC is looking a bit sparse, even Merlion-Emrys hasn't put down a story.

Cheers,

Nick

It's been pretty quiet around here. I wonder if everyone is on vacation.

Since I've been mostly working on writing the first draft on one novel and revisions on another, it'll be a while before I have anything short to offer.

I've decided to take a short vacation from challenges and heavy duty critiqueing for a month or so. I always seem to wind up with a whole queue of crits to do and stuff so I'm just taking a slight break. I'll be in next month, no doubt.
