The online form was great. Especially wonderful was the word count feature.

I set the times and the bot opens and closes the submissions automatically, so you have to submit within that time frame to be accepted.<br /><br />And yes, this critique is specifically for dialogue. We do all kinds of different crits, though, so save your scene for a round that fits it. :)Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-76181377944574267152011-09-06T23:43:45.799-04:002011-09-06T23:43:45.799-04:00Authoress, I have two questions:

Is there any possible way I can enter if I can't be on during those times?<br /><br />Also, you said the submission should be heavy on dialogue. But is that necessary? Because I have a scene I want to get critiqued on (assuming I get picked from the lottery) but it's more emotional rather than dialogue.Diana Juliannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645346227759177481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-86556294055599158992011-09-06T23:39:30.632-04:002011-09-06T23:39:30.632-04:00This is so COOL!!
