I prefer option number one. Simple but very effective.

Completed a review of Suin's 'Being Fifteen', chapters 15 and 16.

Completed a review of Jube's 'The World Of Phyries" chapter 19.

Two different publishers informed me that writing sites such as Scribophile and TNBW don't fall into the category freely available on the web since they both charge a subscription fee. I can also use snippets of my work in my blog as long as I don't post entire chapters as the snippets are considered promotion.

Apologies to everyone. I've been a bit remiss this month but it's been caused by multiple trips to Michigan State University's Veterinary Training Hospital (six-hour round trip) with several overnights for me, without my laptop. Our seven-year-old boxer, Tyson, has cancer. He had his first chemo treatment on Thursday, brought him back home on Friday. He'll be back again this Thursday for another treatment, but it's a day visit and this time, I'll make sure I take my laptop.

In addition to the problems with Tyson, we've been taking our FIV-positive cat, Shadow, back and forth to our local vet (an hour away). On Thursday, he was euthanized as his FIV crashed. 

Hope to catch back up with my reviews over the next week.

To the other item discussed about providing a plot outline or such upfront. Maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle? Any member can just ask if someone is willing to review their plot summary for another pair of eyes to look it over? The member can then arrange to email it to those willing to help and take a look. This keeps the plot off this group forum so as not to spoil it for those who want to continue reviewing without spoilers in advance. What do you think?

I understand what you're saying. I guess I'm looking at it from the submission process where a synopsis is required when submitting to an agent or publishing house. Of course, they could be using those a bit differently than we do here.

That's why I liked the concept of this group- sticking with it until the end. Maybe it might be helpful if once we've posted our last chapter, we follow up with our "intent" and the rest of the group can speak to whether we reached that goal, or if not, what we can do "plot wise" to accomplish it? Just a thought.

Shouldn't the intent be covered in the synopsis, which should be made available before we begin reading?

Good points, Rhiannon. I'm working on my short stories, too.
