    Chapter Discussion Swap

    Discussion in 'Collaboration' started by Some Guy, Sep 16, 2019.

    Critique is for the Workshop, what's broken, what's fixed.
    I'm looking to swap a complete chapter for discussion of the story itself, starting from the beginning chapter. One for one each time, once or as many chapters as you have. The intent is to clarify existing ideas or discuss issues or generate food-for-thought, and inspire new ideas. If the result inspires a change in the chapter, that is incidental. If the result inspires another idea, chapter, or a new story, that would be the ultimately worthy goal. :)
    One chapter per swap, so no cumbersome commitments.
    The chapter should be complete and legible before the swap, and in order from first onward.

    Do not post any chapters here. Do not include title here.

    Reply here with a one-sentence general statement.
    For example, My story is a drama about the life experiences of a young man with a problem, and how they lead him to his fate.

    We can arrange swap in PM.

    Let's have some fun!

    Is it militaristic in setting? I forget if that is the time of the templars or puritans?

    This is the time of the hussars with Jan Sobieski, leading up to Siege of Vienna, July 17–September 12, 1683. My warriors are made up of what we would call today a special ops group that are for hire based on a book I never read in Hungarian.

    Send it to me as well if you want SG. No need to swap. Finishing up that darned audiobook means I don't have much time for critiquing large projects, but 1 chapter is easily something I can help out with.

    I left the notes in Google Docs for you SG. I know I said don't bother swapping, but co-incidentally due to timing I just posted a chapter on the scifi forum workshop here, but if you're busy no worries; its not so much a critique I need from that just a clarity read through.
