And a new week begins!

Your challenge for week forty-six is to give a thorough 200 word critique of another HWer's short story. Thorough means not just "this was cool." Write about what you liked, what you didn't like, what could have been phrased better, what pulled you out of the story, what made you go, "Ooooh," etcetera. And if you are doing the challenge, you are allowed to suggest a short of your own for someone else to use to meet the goal.

Remember, in order to receive points for completing the weekly challenge, you MUST declare it by Monday at midnight.

As always...

The Rules wrote:
1. All challenges must be declared completed by midnight Saturday in your timezone (please specify your timezone when you sign up).
2. All challenges (personal or weekly) must be declared by midnight Monday in your timezone.
3. Personal challenges cannot be repeated.
4. The organizer reserves the right to veto any challenges that seem too simple. (i.e. writing a sentence)


If this is your first time on one of these quests, you'll need to see the initiation pamphlet.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that any weekly challenge pieces that are posted on the forum will be eligible to be featured in our newsletter. Please post a link in this thread if you would like it to be considered.

If you could write your sign-up post in a similar format to the following, it would be appreciated:
Goal: weekly challenge (or whatever you decide to do)
Timezone: PDT


WRITE!!! *turns over hourglass set to run out at midnight on Saturday*
