Thanks to Calliope Delgado for compiling the information for the INKsters critique group and for hosting it as well. Another thanks to Torylynn Writer for allowing us to use her message board. A BIG thanks to INK for all of her hard work in putting this together. And thank you to everyone who attended the 1st critique group information meeting! (Hope I didn't leave anyone out)

Our Next Meeting:
August 22, 2007 at 7 p.m. SLT
Location: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cookie/60/159/34
The purpose is to make our writing stronger.
Critique should be valuable and not personal. Constructive and not destructive.
A drop box is set up at the INKsters Lounge (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cookie/87/116/35); authors who want a critique can drop their article in the box. Submissions do not have to be limited to writing for INKsters. It's open to author's discretion, but please be reasonable. If you can attend the critique, stop by the lounge and grab copies of the submissions prior to the meeting and take time to read and consider comments. *In order to access the submissions, you must activate your INKsters group title.*
The submission notecards should be modifiable so those who want to critique can write notes, perhaps using brackets to set off their commentary from the work, and give them to the author so the author can create a folder of critiques in addition to comments gained from chat at the session. If an author does not attend a critique, his or her work will not be discussed.
The weekly meeting time and place is up to the discretion of the host/ess. Each session we will plan to critique 3-4 pieces, and will only critique pieces for authors who are present at the session. Use of voice at the session is up to the host/ess.
One does not need to attend every session, either as a writer or critiquer.
If you want to be a host/ess, send an IM to ItsNaughtKnotty Cannned or leave a note on ToryLynn's message board (in the space below the INKsters Lounge). The host/ess will select a place and time, and then the authors can decide if they can make it.

Sorry I cant make it that time.
But I have a question / idea.
Since making the anthology is such a big job, have you guys ever heard of Toneless Tombe's publishing machine,it is for sale inworld and I saw some amazing results. It costs about 1000L. I bet soem Inksters will be happy to contribute.
Check it out.
Hey Herbie: We actually own one of the printing presses you speak of, however it is a fairly complicated process to create a book using the press. All of the entries would need to be converted to a texture and then uploaded in-world. Aside from the big cost associated with uploading the textures, the time and patience needed to download, convert, and re-upload the entries is prohibitive at this time. It is a great idea, and we have investigated it, but for now it is too expensive and time intensive to do.
Oh, and by the way, I'm SOOOO excited about the critique group forming. I'm happy to see so many SL writers with so much talent all coming together to help each other out. I love the format of having volunteer hosts and hostesses. I bet those who participate will benefit from the feedback of such smart people!
