I cannot possibly get through all the crap the internet spews forth by the millisecond. If you come across something unbelievably awful you think would make a good candidate for rewriting, make your suggestions here. Please include a link, and what crimes against literature you feel the author and their story have made. Please, keep your assessment restricted to actual literary weakness, and don't be unnecessarily cutting; we're all at different levels in our development. The point of rewriting something awful is to apply what you know you should do when you edit, but to a work you aren't emotionally attached to. It is not to tear down others we see as having less skill. |

Think I know the answer already, but I'll ask anyway- We can only submit original fiction for this, right? No fanfics? What about length? Short stories only? |

Good lord, Janus, of course short stories only. Ain't nobody got time to rewrite someone else's novella and above. Yes, I would prefer the submissions be original fiction. I won't rule out fan fiction, but it's not my personal preference to choose fan fiction for the exercise. That said, the subject doesn't really matter, since it's all about how you'd improve what's broken or lacking. |
