You all should enter. Definitely.

Are you guys requiring it to be from a completed manuscript? Or is it okay to be first drafty?

Aubie · Apr 27, 2010

How?

Where do you enter? I'm confused :Shrug:

I have the same question. Is an incomplete MS okay?

I'm impatient about everything. I'll try to not chew my fingernails down to further nubs than they already are though.

Where will results be posted?

CheyElizabeth · Apr 27, 2010

Ooooohhh.. I shall dig through my MS for the best 200 words. I'd love to have Hannah read my stuff!

houndrat · Apr 27, 2010

Yes--you can enter an incomplete manuscript! (I love having power to make random decisions, RAWR!

GO ENTER CONQUER WIN! and all that good stuff!

charlotte49ers · Apr 27, 2010

Good, cause I did it anyway! lol

I figured you guys would kick me out if I wasn't supposed to be there.

Sage · Apr 27, 2010

Will the critique be done immediately or whenever we're ready? Like... if we're not done with the novel, could we wait until we've finished and edited it?

COchick · Apr 27, 2010

Sigh. I have tried to leave my 200 words in the comments several times, but I keep getting an error. ARGH!

Aubie · Apr 27, 2010

check the comments...you might be there anyway. I got an error when I posted mine but I went back and read the comments and my excerpt was there.

Sandy Shin · Apr 27, 2010

Oh, I wasn't going to enter because mine isn't complete. It's good to know that that's allowed! :]

History_Chick · Apr 28, 2010

what the heck. I'm gonna give it a go

Don't knwo until you try and all that stuff.

Tuuli · Apr 28, 2010

I don't envy you, Hannah. I've read some of the entries . . . at least the ones posted up to last night. There's a reason why I'd never have a contest like that. Everyone would win.

Good luck!!!

Sage · Apr 28, 2010

I think it's a really clever contest.

Chumplet · Apr 28, 2010

I entered! Thanks for the opportunity, it was fun!
