To encourage each of us to engage with one another's writing in the manner that is best for the author, we have a few simple ground rules:
- each work which is being offered to the group gets its own thread for itself and the relevant comments ("Add a new thread"). Longer works could be posted as a link to a shared Google document.
- authors, please label the thread with a working title and a critical engagement ranking as follows:
- "Kid Gloves" for those projects which should be handled with tender loving care; it took courage, perhaps, to post it and the author wants support and questions from colleagues.
- "Casual" for most discussions - what readers liked, what they didn't, ways the writing could improve, questions raised, praise, puns, general kicking the tires and looking at the teeth. Oh, dear, my metaphors are meshing.
- "MacDuff" for when the author wants colleagues to lay on with full editorial sensibilities, lit crit chops, and energy. This work wants fire to temper the steel.
