@j-a-penrose Teen up, preferably readable by anyone who reads my Golden Ziggurat stories.

@j-a-penrose Oh, cool. So are you open right now then?

Yeah, just general prose strengthening is mainly what I’m looking for. Pointing out confusing stuff, weak narrative voice, that sort of thing

@j-a-penrose, where are we tallying the points? In this thread?

@j-a-penrose

*me under normal circumstances* WORD WAR?!!! YASSSSS

*me furiously packing cause I’m moving this week* WORD WAR?!!! *groans unintelligibly*

Yeah, I won’t be so active on SE this week, but I’ll definitely try.

@j-a-penrose @cassandraia I’d probably want feedback in within a month, if you think that could work.

@j-a-penrose Oooh! Mysterious. *rubs hands together*

I’ll take a look at the docs when I get a chance. There’s a lot of cool stuff going on! But right now school has come and carried away my poor little minutes one by one in chains. Perhaps on Christmas break, they shall be returned to me and I can do some worldbuilding…
