Ee2 Feedback Exchange (1 Viewer)

[slinkysezzy]

I was thinking that it would be good to have someone to exchange feedback with, someone who could look over your drafts and let you know when things are good and when things are crap. Not like telling you what to write and how to write it but just someone who could say "maybe you should rework that sentence" or "i'm not really getting this bit"

So i was thinking that if people who wanted something like this could find a "buddy" then they could exchange feedback on eachother's major works and give eachother advice support and stuff. You could also make a new friend!

I was thinking that we could like leave a two or three sentence blurb about ur mjr work so that people knew whether they'd be interested in what you're doing.

So I'll start: I'm writing 3 short stories about the different ways people have interpreted the bible throughout history. if you want to get in touch either pm me.

Let me know what you guys think about the whole "feed back exchange" idea. I thought it might work but you guys might think differently.

hahaha..
i was orginally going to compose an adaptation of the bible using board of studies requirements etc..
complex idea..
very stupid upon reflection.
Yours sounds good..
jsut be careful...
It's hard for markers to stay objective when Religion is involved.

oh and..
im doing a satirical exploration into the metafiction genre...

p.s
i'd just be a bit worried about plagarism..
ie. on this site, i've been approached by people to be my 'mentor'..
always quite worrying..

Wow, you've changed medium?

I left you a giant post in the Critical Response section, in case you missed it. But yeah, i'd be happy to enter into a sort of feedback group thing.

My major work is 2 'parallel universe' short stories, if you get what i mean. Essentially, I will write 2 short stories as a satire of the dystopian novel genre, however I plan to denounce democracy as opposed to totalitarianism in the stories. One short story will be based in a totalitarian world, the other in a democratic world.

PM/MSN me.

Yeah I've been approached like that too - just a wee bit dodgy. I really can't think of anyways around that. I'm one of those fools who blunders around thinking the best of people. Can anyone think of a good way of preventing that? I guess you just make sure that ur feed back person actually has written something before you let them see any of yours. And only let them see the whole thing if you know they've actually written their own!

Anyways - if anyones interested just stick up what ur doing on the forum and if you see anyone you'd like to contact just email or pm them.

See you all!

Slinky it says your doing your hsc in 2008, how can you be doign ee2?

Anyway I'd be interested in group-feedback-mentoring. I suppose its a bit more secure if everyone knows exactly who is seeing who's working than mr. dodgy ripping off your MW. PM me if you want

I'm doing a dystopian radio drama...

 

[slinkysezzy]

Dave: I'm an accelerant - I'm doing the HSC for english + ee1 + ee2 this year and the hsc for all my other subjects next year.

I'll see if i can set up a sort of mailing list type of thing.

oh wow, they approached you? isn't it the other way around, normally? lol

I think this is a GREAT idea. Perhaps to develop some trust between yourselves first, you can exchange email addresses? Maybe start off with an email chain - speak generally about what you're doing, and slowly bring up more specific issues you have when you trust the circle more

Remember that showing someone a draft of what you're doing isn't the only way to do things. Even if you talk about what you're trying to do, they can't actually see what you've written, so until you show them a draft technically they can't plaguarise anything. As for ideas themselves... well, one could argue that nothing's original under the sun anymore

I'd volunteer to join the feedback thingo but I just don't know whether I have the time :/ Good luck though!


PS: I too would be wary of people approaching you, offering to be your 'mentor'... may be a good idea to do background checks etc, to make sure they're not tutors or students trying to filch your drafts for free.

 

[bringbackshred]

I would be wary too about that, but most people who come on here and post half regularly seem to be fairly trustworthy, so yeah.

If we could get a giant msn group going or something, that would be pretty cool.

 

[slinkysezzy]

I've created a google group for our 'feedback exchange' if you want to join then just send me a pm with you email address in it.

Talk to you soon.

woah your allowed to do that?
So does that mean you are doing prelim eng in the same year also?

 

[Dave2007]

We're not allowed to do anything at all accelarated, it sucks.

Anyway I strongly advise you all to join the google group for ee2 feedback exchange, already theres been some pretty good discussion and stuff going on! join!
