Author Notes:
Hey all – This is a standalone story in the Universe I’m developing, but a bit further down the line than my other stuff… Can you please think about the following as you read this:
- World Building:
- Did you find it engaging; what did or did not work?
- Character:
- Were you emotionally engaged with both main characters?
- Could you identify with both?
- Did you feel sympathy for them?
- Pacing:
- Did it drag in any place? Did you become bored? If so, where?
- Structure/Narrative:
- Did you find any inconsistencies?
- Were there sections where it became too exhibitional? If so, where?
- Impact:
- Did the story leave you with a feeling at the conclusion? If so, what was it?
- How well did it work? Did you want to keep reading?
Notes to organisers:
I’ll be away from June 19th to July 6th – so any time after that Thanks!
