Participation Expectations
- Signing up means committing to both writing and reviewing. This is a writing circle, so members should make an effort to write and review most rounds.
- Occasionally missing out on writing during a round is fine, as long as you still participate in reviewing and don’t make skipping a habit.
- If a participant routinely signs up without submitting, they may be asked to sit out a round to ensure active participation.
- If someone signs up but doesn’t review, they may not be eligible for the next round.
- Participants won’t receive feedback if they don’t turn in a story.
- If a group collapses due to dropouts, remaining members can merge with another group to ensure they still get feedback.
- Depending on how this first round goes, we may introduce a critic-only role for those who would like to participate in reviewing but don’t want to write. For now, the focus remains on building a community of writers first.
