For those living under a rock, Daily Science Fiction is the latest publication that gives novices like most of us hope. They pay pro (8 cents a words), print often (5 days a week), and offer it as a free email. If you are looking for a chance to get published in as a pro, DSF gives you 22 or better chances a month. So thank you to the editors for the extra chances.
One problem the publication is experiencing is it is getting ignored by the reviewers. The reason: Too much to cover. Thanks to Dave Steffen, he has provided me with an opportunity to rectify this injustice...
...the problem I am having, however, it is proving to be more than I can handle, especially since I have commited to doing a review a month for a new outlet hitting the scene tomorrow, Rise Reviews.
So I am asking for a little help. Anyone interested in doing a review or two? I need help catching up. I have half of October done but I'm falling behind. If you like to help (everyone should try to review once) contact me. You can pick the story you like to review or I can give one to you.
What kind of fiction do you prefer? They have a list on their website with a full gambit of fantasy and Sci-fi.
Most of the stories they publish are under 1500 words with about half in the 500 word range. Their friday stories are their long ones though. If you have any preference, let me know. If not I'll assign you all one...and feel free if you want more. I can give you an entire week if you like.
Here is their site. The story on the page is todays current. On the right is where you will find others in their archives. You see anything that interest you (after October 9th) than take it! If not I'll give you one with a link to it.
I so appreciate it!

Is there a word limit on the reviews? And is there a deadline? I assume from what you said that could be a few months away but tell me if I'm wrong and what it really is.
And I think I would like a story around 1,000 words. Lets say 800 to 1200 just to be on the safe side. Nothing too strange, either SF or Fantasy.
And I'll like fries with that... no make that a baked potato and a salad.
I hope I'm not being too pretentious Maybe I should look myself but I don't want to grab something somebody else choose.
Eyegore did two wonderful reviews for me. I sent Teirgan, LD and PB&J one to do. I still can use a hand or two if anyone else would like to join the fun.
@history - Do you want to review a story or two of DSF or did you have something else in mind? The site is owned by steffenwolf (Dave Steffen) but he has been very receptive to such things. You can email me if you like and we can talk more.
