| So. As Mark, Jill, and practically everyone else I know, jets off to the Romantic Times conventon to eat, drink, sign books, and be merry, I am stuck here. All by myself, to entertain you for the rest of the week. At least, I would have been, except I'm lucky! And so are you. Why, you ask? Ha ha! Because Jaye Wells, Orbit author and heckofun gal, has agreed to come by and help me out. Here's what we're doing. You submit a bit of dialogue from your latest wip, or a project you finished and are planning on submitting, or whatever you like. Limit 150 words. Jaye and I will look them over and give critiques, comments, snippy little jokes, whatever we feel like. We will then post the snippet--minus your name, and plus our comments-here on the League blog, where our readers and anyone else who happens to stop by are also invited to comment. We're keeping the comments clean and constructive, but really, don't submit if you aren't prepared for an honest--although kindly worded--opinion. And we will be deleting disrespectful comments, so please, keep it constructive commenters! Send submissions to me, Staciakane AT gmail.com, starting at 8 pm EDT. Do NOT send them earlier! The first 12 submissions will be used. We'll do four a day tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. (Sorry, we can't handle more--I have tons of edits and stuff on my plate, so don't even ask, because that will make me feel guilty and bad. It's not like this is the last time we'llever do something like this, really.) So have at it, guys! Can't wait to see what you've got! |

I'm assuming the lack of comments means everyone's busy getting their entries ready.
Eep, let's hope so, Jaye. If we don't get any entries at all, we'll post bits of our own dialogue and pat each other on the back, sound good? Lol.
Hee - what a grand idea!
I guess there are a few of us non-con goers (and I don't mean non-con in the usual way!) ::g::
good because I'm having trouble with a part in Deader Still and finally someone can fix the mess I've made of it all...
Oh wait..
*reads fine print of contest rules, sees LRA members are ineligible, shakes fist at sky*
DAMMIT! You mean I gotta finish my own books...???
me, me me, me.. can it be a few chapters
Sometimes I actually have to do work from 9-5. Shocking, I know.
Are we talking strictly dialog scenes, or 150 word snippets, or...? Because I totally want in. I love to be judged.
OMG!!!
I can't decide which one to send you.
Dammit..
Ooo!! !OO!O!!! ME TOO!! Me too!! *arm flails in air* Techr! Techr!!
I'm in, if there's still room. You did say this was only a fifteen-passenger handbasket, didn't you?
*throws hat in*
Yay! It's very nice of you to do this for us noobs...and I swear to God I'm not from Spain!
::blows kisses::
Can I get a hit on this?!?
I'll send in a jiffy.
So cool. I sent mine in, and hope I'm not too late. Thanks for doing this no matter what.

I'll look forward to reading and commenting.
I write poetry and occasional fan fiction.
But I am an avid reader and am enjoying reading you guys!
Oh crap...what does EDT mean and what time zone am I in???
Seeley, it means Eastern time, but since it's past that now you're cool.
Damn! You get bored for five seconds and do something fun without me? I'm totally going to comment on these.
Phew! I sent more than 150 words, so I'll probably be disqualified.
*grovels and begs not to be disqualified*
I hope I'm not too late. Sent something in a short while ago then remembered that Stacia is across the pond, so she might be reading this with her morning tea.
If by "tea" you mean "scotch on the rocks"...
