Because Critique is Awesome!


A couple weeks ago, I wrote a couple articles about critique in the deviantART community.  The response to those articles was generally positive, which was completely awesome. Several people expressed a desire to try their hand at giving and receiving critique, and so the idea for this contest was born! :la:

Step One: Write


You may submit any piece of writing for the contest. It does not need to be a new piece, but it must adhere to these guidelines:

:bulletgreen: Prose should be 2,000 words or less.
:bulletgreen: Poetry should be 100 lines or less.
:bulletgreen: Mature content is accepted as long as appropriate filters are in place.
:bulletgreen: Please proof-read your work for glaring spelling/grammar errors. Pieces with multiple errors will be rejected.
:bulletgreen: In your artist comment, include a link to this article.
:bulletgreen: Also include a few specific critique requests (such as help with imagery, line breaks, or pacing) in your artist comment.

To submit literature to the contest, send LiliWrites a :note: Note with a thumb or link to the deviation. You may submit 1 piece of prose and 1 piece of poetry. I need all submissions no later than June 30th. And please keep in mind that you will be required to leave feedback on at least one other piece for each piece you submit into the event.

Step Two: Leave Feedback


For this event, you will be leaving feedback only on entries submitted to me. You can find all of those in my favorites folder.

Your feedback can be as long or short as you like, but must adhere to these guidelines:

:bulletgreen: You must state that you are leaving the feedback for The Great Lit Crit Event somewhere in your critique or comment.
:bulletgreen: Your critique should adhere to the etiquette policies of deviantART.
:bulletgreen: Your critique should contain at least one piece of constructive feedback and one piece of constructive praise.
:bulletgreen: You may link to resources on and off deviantART in your critique, and/or expand upon something another critic has already said.
:bulletgreen: Your critique should use proper grammar and spelling.
:bulletgreen: You do not need to use the Premium Critique feature to enter the event. Comments are just as awesome.

To submit your feedback to the Event, leave a link to the comment or critique on the original event announcement journal by July 31st.

FAQ #14: How do I create a link to a specific comment?

:pointr: PLEASE NOTE: I may not see comment links left on the CRLiterature journal, so make sure to link them on my personal journal announcement, here: liliwrites.deviantart.com/jour…
