So. Alright. I don't know if anyone's done this before (maybe I've done it and don't remember), but this is how it goes. Want a critique? You can get it here. Just post the link up and wait till somebody says "I'll do it!" but here's the catch: you'll have to do a critique for him too.

I know. Simple. That's why they call it critique exchange.

But there's another thing. Longer texts get more critiques in exchange. For example, if someone posts a seven page long stories, he can't expect people to critique it for him unless he is willing to pay handsomly with two critiques.

Do you catch my drift? So. What do you say?

I've got a twenty-something page serial killer story I can e-mail onto you. I swear it isn't boring. I'm willing to give at least three crits in exchange, or one of an equally long piece of work.

This seems like a way for me to get people to see my work, and in a way it kinda is. Does that make me selfish and deceiving? Probably. But, if you think about it, it's not just my work you can choose from. Anybody can use the Critique Exchange! thread.

So go! Write! Read! Have fun!

But answer me this: how can a story end happily if there is no love?
