Critique Circle Premium Membership Trial

August 25th 2009 11:56
Let me just say SQUEE! As anyone who regularly reads this blog should know, I am an active member of critiquecircle.com. In fact, I've gotten more praise for my critiques over there than I have for my writing anywhere on the web. I've critiqued 55 stories, most of which were chapters of novels for a couple writers I've worked with. This is counting the fact that I've disappeared for four or five months at a time from Critique circle, having done that twice and having only been a member for a little over two years.

I just got a message on Critique Circle saying that because I'm a prolific critiquer, they would like to offer me a two-week free trial with NO obligations of the Premium Membership.

This makes me squee and sigh at the same time. Why? Because it means that for 2 weeks in September, Diannaskye is going to have her very own private Queue, showcasing two myths and a prologue and hoping to get at least one critique for each one, and that I'm going to wander the premium forums avidly for two weeks and have a fan-bloody-tastic time on CC.

Because I am, well, poor is the blunt way of putting it, I can't afford to pay for a premium membership, although I would love to. I hope to, by this time next year, have pulled together enough money from my writing (mainly Bleed and Myths of Tamraq, not sure if A Cutter's Journey will be out by then, and various short story submissions and poetry submissions to magazines/ezines), to pay for a premium membership.

What does this mean? It means that I'll only have the Premium membership for two weeks. I'll love it to death, and use it to the best of my ability, but it will only be around for two weeks. Le sigh.

Too bad they don't offer me a free premium membership... instead of a scholarship for a young writer, a premium membership to CC for a year. That would be golden. xD (Hey, any moderators over there reading this feel FREE to use the idea.)

Just wanted to announce that 'cause it made me super-excited. I'm Diannaskye on CC, so if you would like a critique (I usually only critique fantasy, horror and sci fi because I'm not as familiar with other genres and some of them make me angry) send me a message, and if you would like to sneak-preview some of my myths, get in touch and I will let you know when I decide to take advantage of this offer.

Thanks for reading,
~Dianna
