It's been awhile in coming, but at last! Another contest!

Because I had such a positive experience when I entered a First Chapter Critique Giveaway a few months ago, I thought it would be nice to offer one for other writers as well. The contest is very easy. Simply follow the rules listed below to enter. The winner will be eligible for a full critique on the first chapter of whichever story they want. (If you do not have a novel to be critiqued and have instead a short story around 2500 words that you would like to have me look at, that qualifies for the critique as well.)

Disclaimer: I will not look at stories with scenes of sex, immorality, or anything that qualifies an R-rating or worse. Clean is good!

The contest is open from 8:00 am on December 15th, 2011 until 8:00 pm on December 23rd, 2011. At that time I shall randomly choose a winner, and I will announce the winner on the morning of Christmas Eve. That winner will be the proud recipient of a First Chapter critique from moi.

The rules are as follows: (each +number counts for an entry. Leave more comments for more entries!)

1.) Mandatory - If you are new, join this site (+3) - (Established members receive an automatic +3)

Each entry earns you points. You can earn up to fourteen points!

Get posting! and Merry Christmas.
