Eka's Portal Writing Group - September - To Be Skipped

Postby Imrhys » Tue Aug 25, 2015 9:29 pm

September will be skipped due to lack of participation and my lack of availability.

The EPWG is a casual monthly topic for authors to post short stories or portions of larger stories and get guaranteed feedback. Everyone is welcome to participate! Authors who submit a story any given month are asked to read and comment on the three stories that are assigned to them that same month, but you don't have to be an author to read and give feedback, and authors don't have to limit their feedback just to the stories assigned to them. You can check out the guidelines for participation here, and you can participate in the discussion surrounding the EPWG here, if you'd like.

Authors of all skill levels and interests are welcome (see the guidelines for details); please just make sure you do your best to proofread your submission, and make sure it in some way is related to vore or endo, given the nature of this site.

Suggested Theme for this month - Apologies for the lack of theme/suggestion for this month.

Remember, this is only to help inspire, not to dictate. If it doesn't help you and your writing, discard it and do what works best for you.

- - - - - - -

DEADLINES:
All submissions for September must be posted in this topic by 11:59pm, Monday, September 7th.
All critiques for September must be posted in this topic by 11:59pm, Wednesday, September 30th.

To enter this month, just read the first post to make sure you know what's going on, and fill out a copy of this template in your own post! :)

Instructions: Quote this post when you post your submission. Everything in bold should stay, and everything not in bold should be deleted or replaced. Attach your submission as an .rtf or .doc or .txt or .pdf, or post a link. If you link off-site, make sure it's publicly accessible (no password-protection) and isn't swarming with ads or is poorly-formatted.

ABOUT YOU:
Your name: Answer with how you prefer to be called in posts. (Example: 4ofSwords)
Your writing library URL(s): (Example: http://aryion.com/g3/showgallery.php?id=102910)
Have you read the rules and guidelines, and do you agree to them? (They're only 1127 words. Consider them good preparation for your reading assignment.)
In particular, have you read the part about providing meaty comments (at least two or three good paragraphs, and try to answer the author's questions, if any) on the three stories you're assigned, and do you agree? (This is the heart and soul of the reading group - it's important.)
Have you proofread your own story? (Yes is the only good answer!)

YOUR POST:
Title/Summary: Let us know a little something about the story. Make this part compelling to help you get readers! (Example: Spider Woman. She's a science experiment gone wrong. He's from some shadowy government agency. He … err, the other 'He'... is dinner! Lust, intrigue, and plenty of spidery vore and cocooning!)
Word Count: Give an accurate, discrete, positive integer. There is no hard limit to word count, but stories assigned readers aren't responsible for more than the first 2000 words or so, and stories over 5000 words should be considered for breaking into smaller chapters.
Rating and Classification: Let us know what kind of vore and how much. Be sure to let us know if there is sex, gore, scat, digestion, etc., since those tend to be the major touchpoints. (Example: Rated “R” for descriptive nudity, sexiness, and naughty words. Contains F/M spidery (oral/vampiric) vore.)
Type of Critique Preferred: Do you want it harsh or gentle? In-depth, or impressionistic? Are you looking for the reader to pay special attention to technique, or to grammar, or to style? (Example: Harsh/honest critique is preferred. Tell me what you liked or didn't, or what took you out of the reading experience. Specific examples preferred.)
Questions for the Readers: If there's anything in particular you want the reader to think about or answer, here's your chance! (Example: Was her monologuing a bit much?)

YOUR READING LIST:
Rating and Classification Preferred: Tell us what you'd prefer to read or not to read. (Example: I like sentient female preds. I dislike scat, pain, and cockvore. I will read anything from Pokemon fanfic to the scenes that make Larry Flint blush.)
Critiquing Style: What kind of a critic are you? (Example: I'm a pretty harsh critic who is easily hung up by bad spelling and punctuation. I'm handy at suggesting alternative wording/plot points, etc.)

Don't forget to attach your writing!

ABOUT YOU:
Your name: SRED, SREDDY, SREDISKRAD
Your writing library URL(s): http://aryion.com/g4/view/250693
Have you read the rules and guidelines, and do you agree to them? Only once, and I have yet to disagree.
In particular, have you read the part about providing meaty comments (at least two or three good paragraphs, and try to answer the author's questions, if any) on the three stories you're assigned, and do you agree? Yep
Have you proofread your own story? Spaghetti!!

YOUR POST:
Title/Summary: Copycat Cravings: A voracious killer was recently released from prison and now people are winding up the entrée, but who's killing them and why? Part one.
Word Count: 6063 to be exact.
Rating and Classification: mention to scat. Includes endo and softvore - endo. Implied gore and digestion.
Type of Critique Preferred: Whatever's natural.
Questions for the Readers:
Who's the killer? (Just for fun, I'm not telling you XD) ((Guess correctly and guess whycorrectly and I'll give you a free drawing - lineless.))
How's the pacing/atmosphere been?

YOUR READING LIST:
Rating and Classification Preferred: Do I have a choice really? Just make the numbers XD
Critiquing Style: What kind of critique is wanted? I usually say how I feel and waver between critiquing as I'm reading it (running thought commentary - more depth at the end) or, read it, then the running commentary.

Don't forget to attach your writing! Before I forget that! I am a world before I am a....nope? Ok, here it is..

ABOUT YOU:
Your name: OERN, Onery

Have you read the rules and guidelines, and do you agree to them? Yes

Have you proofread your own story? (Yes is the only good answer!) Yes

YOUR POST:
Title/Summary: "The Knight From Rumare" (Warning, set in Tamriel) A young adventurer finds himself in trouble with the law and escapes into another province, right into the arms of a large, lovely, predator. It might not be all bad though.
Word Count: 1,392
Rating and Classification: TV-MA if it were in a visual medium, completely nude, but no verbose descriptions of genitalia. Contains soft oral vore and implied digestion in callbacks to earlier "guests". The interaction that takes place in the present scene is completely non-fatal thanks to magjicka.
Questions for the Readers: Do you feel like I use too many commas? Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm writing something for William Shatner.

YOUR READING LIST:
Rating and Classification Preferred: I prefer non-fatal, though it isn't a deal breaker. I'm okay with any type of soft vore and can tolerate some scat. Hard vore probably won't make me happy but for the sake of providing decent critique I'm willing to endure it.
Critiquing Style: I'm fairly passive I say, I'll point mistakes out and if a plotpoint doesn't make sense to me I'll be sure to tell you, but if the story intrigues me I'm willing to give the aspect of flow and conceptual cohesion more credit that grammatical errors. I'm far from scathing.

Hey, a heads up. I'm probably going to be taking a leave of absence from the EPWG due to worsening situation IRL. I have the threads bookmarked, saved, etc., so when I return I can just pick back up, but...

If September reaches 4+ submissions, all y'all need to do is review each other. Ironically nothing stops any of us from doing that at any time. EPWG just provides structure for the process. Mind you, I thoroughly understand the utility of that structure...

I've loved being part of this place/group off n on for almost six years now, don't ever forget that, just RL has gotten... To be too big a hurdle recently.

Best of luck and good reviewing to all of you.
