Sugarbabes Round Robin Reading Group [Closed Group]

💦ASSIGNMENT 33

Good Evening to the BEST READING GROUP on Wattpad!

I hope everyone enjoyed this week's reading assignments. I really did as I was able to dive into an amazing work in progress by our super-talented DelaneyBrenna. Cannot wait to see what happens to these new and exciting characters!

So, time for the notes again, and ha, ha!!! I GOT NOTES!

*sticks tongue out at computer screen.

And now... THE NOTES 📄

1. There is another pitch event on Wednesday! Get those Twitter pitches ready! any questions, see KitCatk8.

2. REMEMBER: Some of us (yeah, I'm one of them) have longer chapters than others, and the moderators were contacted about this in the past. Please, do not hesitate to message your partner directly to discuss what is fair, as we're all a pretty tight bunch now. But if you need us or have questions, hey, we're here for you.

3. 💥WRITING SPRINTS ARE STILL ACTIVE ON DISCORD and RATS, I missed the last one! 😭

4. Book of the Month returns in February 2023. Remember, to qualify as 📘Book of the Month, you must be in good standing, i.e., not skipped reading a past 📘BotM (unless you were on hiatus) and be an active reader for at least two weeks. We need FOUR OR MORE readers for the BoTM to count... I'm thinking of redos if we don't get that minimum number. Thoughts?

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Constructive criticism is a helpful way of giving feedback that provides specific, actionable suggestions. Rather than providing general advice, constructive criticism gives specific recommendations on how to make positive improvements. Constructive criticism is clear, to the point, and easy to put into action. Some might want more general things, like is it interesting and others, much more detailed IF the reader is so inclined.

Please check for things your assigned partner is looking for below:

*HIATUS

*@BlameSaiki - Would like to know if the story is enjoyable and if the reader would like to go deeper. If not, what turns people away? What is the story missing?

*@freya_inkwell- Writes fantasy but currently joining the group as an extra reader.

*@EliP56 - Because of my past experience, I realize that I become so obsessed with editing that I stop writing (XD) The focus has changed. I'm looking more for thoughts on the characters, plot, and plot holes. Not necessarily looking for grammar or deep/rough editing-type comments.

*@Shannara2 - I'm looking for a reader who will be able to pinpoint grammar mistakes, punction marks, and redundancy, without changing the main theme of my story. I don't want a skimmer, I want a genuine reader with genuine comments and not negative criticism.

ACTIVE READERS

@aditibalaji100 - What I'm looking for: I'd love to get input mainly on the characters and the world-building. I'd love to know both, what's working and what's not. I'd also appreciate help with rephrasing stuff to make it sound sharper and easier to read.

@RogueWriter55 - Would like to know if the story is interesting, clear, and concise. PLEASE, point out any typos or parts that sound like an IKEA manual written in Swedish. (Translation: it's not clear) I'll take any advice I can get.

@KitCatK8 - Requests any and all feedback, no need to pull punches. Any suggestions on wording, grammar, and spelling are always welcome. Does the story hold your interest? Why or why not? What are your thoughts/theories/feelings about the characters and their relationships/interactions with one another? If something evokes an emotional response (laughter, cringing, tears, fear), I want to know!! Opinions are welcome on what would make the story better.

@juliecotewriter - Would love any kind of feedback/editing with an eye toward feedback on the worldbuilding. Mainly things in the genre of, does it make sense and feel realistic, or are there places that should be explained more, or things that seem to contradict. For Wanderlust: looking at feedback on how the relationship is progressing and the character growth of the main characters.

@PVChan01 - Would like partners to comment about how engaging and enjoyable they find the story and characters. Please keep an eye out for repetitiveness or awkward sentences. Look out for any big grammar mistakes like misspelled words.

@RodrickLR- I'm looking for readers that would like to share their opinion about the plot and characters. Is the story engaging and the action thrilling? Are the protagonists well-rounded? Is the world understandable? But most of all, my primary goal is to provide the readers with an enjoyable story, so I would sincerely appreciate all their honest opinions, corrections, and suggestions.

@SGSchumpertWrites - Wants to be critiqued on everything. Tear it apart (kindly :). If a character is unrelatable, if the dialogue sounds off, if you're getting bored, or feel like the plot is structured strangely, if something doesn't make sense, please tell me. I also tend to overwrite, so if you could help me trim down and cut out unnecessary bits/scenes, which would be lovely. I request no critiquing on grammar/spelling errors since a computer can point out those. Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful consideration. I look forward to working with y'all!

@DelaneyBrenna - Would like her partner to keep an eye out for repetition with information/descriptors.
