Question: The few inflation stuff Ive done has been chapters in "choose your own path" transformation/expansion stories. Does that count as having an inflation story posted somewhere?
Writer's Guild
Well, let's all try this, then.
The Writer's Guild is a vehicle for promoting both the quality and the quanitity of stories by means of useful feedback. You DO NOT have to post a review for every story - no deadlines, no schedules (same for stories). Being a member of the Guild means that when you give criticism, it must follow the rules outlined below. As a member, criticism must be accepted as being made in good faith.
To join the Writer's Guild, you must meet these criteria:
1) Eligible for membership here at BI.org
2) Must have an inflation story posted somewhere - preferably here.
3) Must be willing to give and accept constructive criticism.
4) Criticism given must be without malice and be accepted with this knowledge.
5) Must be committed to improving the overall state of Inflation, uh, Literature (*ahem*)
Review Format:
(Review)
Written review, explaining the reasons for your scoring below. Give examples if possible.
(Scorecard)
Technical
Spelling - 0-100%
Grammer - 0-100%
Sentence Structure - 0-100%
Artistic
Subject - 0-100%
Plot - 0-100%
Originality - 0-100%
Character Development 0-100%
To offer a story for review, post it to the Feedback Forum as per Luther's example, but add "Writer's Guild: " to the beginning of the title. If you are not a member of the Guild, we ask that you please refrain from responding to the post. Those not following the rules will be called on it. Please refrain from chatting with each other from within the reviews - save that for the Writer's Den.

Hey, have any stories been submitted to this? I have been approached personally by an author who just wants some direct feedback so I'm going to do that, but...I like this idea and want to see it supported. Is everybody just not writing right now, with school and the impending holidays?

A couple have been submitted, Inflate123, but only one or two replies so far. I've been meaning to - honest! - just no time. I think I should be able to get back into my projects soon, so I should have something, as well. I have been practicing critiquing skills for another author who has graciously allowed me to so. As soon as I can, I'll be participating again.

I dont write, and even I have seen plenty to inspire me lately, lol. Of course, its inspiration gone to waste, but I dont know how to transfer excess inspiration to another person.
I'll join up as soon as I get round to writing a new story.
