'Ariel'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
sort of Tailchaser crossed with Animal Farm, with albinism and a lot of anthropomorphism.

Oh my. You could say it's "very inventive" and "draws from many different rich mythologies" but maybe "lacks a certain focus we feel is necessary to tell a strong story".
Heh. I just told him that it didn't fit and good luck in the future. I was a bit terse, perhaps, but polite.
YAY CONNIE!
hope and encouragement.. huh. Are you SURE that's what it requires? I mean, we'll take it gladly, but I wouldn't want you to piss off your muse and I know she's not quite that kind of girl.
Heck, I'll send you what I've got, tell you where I think it needs to go, let you mull over how to get there. After all, you're the editor/publisher :)!
Deena/Amy, I sent a link to Drolleries to my friend Julie, who (sorta) makes a living as a storyteller. I think the stories she tells are very much in line with what you are looking for; I just don't know if she writes them.
My feeling it that you are better off with a standard rejection letter for works you don't like; save personalize ones for work you like, but don't fit the market. Maybe I'm pushier than your average writer, but I always take personalized rejections as a reason to put you at the top of my submission list for my next work.
Connie, received. I remember it now. I liked it a lot. I'll mull it over.
Hey, thanks Raq! Tell her to mention you if she decides to submit.
I hadn't thought of that, Gar. Thanks for the perspective.
Did the drabbles die? Just curious. I never write them myself, but I always enjoyed reading them.
Maybe we should think of some topics...uh, one of the challenges I've signed up for is "What I didn't Know"...does that sound interesting?
I like that one a lot, erika. I must go think on it.
Hey, has everyone seen the new NaNoWriMo offshoot, ScriptFrenzy?
