🕰 Finish reading and commenting on your assigned story of the week by midnight GMT each Sunday morning. (If you really can't get it done, PM this account)
🔑 Please use the Comment Template for your comments and answer all 4 of the template questions. (You can find the template on the page marked "comment template")
👁 When you are finished with a story, please self-log with a 'done' as an in-line comment next to the story. This is both for you to keep track of your reading, as well as for us to know where everybody is. YOU CAN FINISH ALL OF YOUR STORIES EARLIER THAN THE DEADLINE. That is: if you have the time, you can do some or all of your stories in the first week.
If you have questions or problems, PM this account!
