[Weekly Critique and Self-Promotion Thread] FRANK BACON If You'd Like to Share Your Writing

"Well, FRANK BACON was standing in a county where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups."

Your critique submission should be a top-level comment in the thread and should include:

Title
Genre
Word count
Type of feedback desired (line-by-line edits, general impression, etc.)
A link to the writing

Anyone who wants to critique the story should respond to the original writing comment. The post is set to contest mode, so the stories will appear in a random order, and child comments will only be seen by people who want to check them.

This post will be active for approximately one week.

For anyone using BLURT DriveD for critique: DriveD is one of the easiest ways to share and comment on work, but keep in mind all activity is tied to your BLURT account and may reveal personal information such as your full name. If you plan to use BLURT DriveD as your critique platform, consider creating a separate account solely for sharing writing that does not have any connections to your real-life identity.

Be reasonable with expectations. Posting a short chapter or a quick excerpt will get you many more responses than posting a full work. Everyone's stamina varies, but generally speaking the more you keep it under 5,000 words the better off you'll be.
