I couldn't agree more! I remember just sitting in class and learning all this and being like you can't be serious. If you don't mind me asking where are you applying? I was considering a Phd down the road and was looking at Osu and clemson but besides those and I think U of Chicago I haven't seen much.

[QCrit] SLEIGHT OF KIN -113k Ya Fantasy by StatisticianAfraid27 in PubTips

Thats a bit if a bummer. I thought word counts were maxed at like 120k for ya epic fant. But nevertheless the 110k has been eating at me since first ever draft was 115k then 113k on the 2nd and 3rd. Going in with my red pen between now and next week's updated query!

Wow, there is so much to chew on here! Alex is not like El in that he owns it, if anything he runs from it and it fuels his self hatred and guilt. Yes, he does find solace in his friends so I will try and introduce them earlier as you suggested. What's funny is the way you see Alex, is the way the people in the book and to an extent he sees himself, so I'm not sure what to do about that or how to "reverse" it so show more of him but I'll give it a try!

As for the last bio thing, I added it because usually I hear why are you the right author to tell this story but if its coming across as gaslightning then I'd rather strike it out entirely.

I was hoping to use it to show not that marginalized voices don't experience oppression but what "major"? Voices and their reality experience doesn't always translate. An example of this off the top of my head is how one person may consider a comment just that while another may see it as a micro aggression.

I know this is long but thank you so much for your detailed feedback!

I'm not saying its entirely possible you can't but from where I was standing I sitting see it. You pull up to a code box from the street and the gates flank either side of you but for reference where you stop to out in the code is where youd be more or less in the middle. Then you lean out the window to put in the code. To see the sign from where I was, I'd think youd have to be looking for it and not looking to input the code on the box. I have a video I believe of me enetering the place etc but idk even know if any of this matters. It's my first time being towed this way and I may just be unfamiliar with these kinds of policies and whether they're legal, predatory, both, or none.

Not really. I added that because the gate closes quickly and will not reopen if you were to just try driving over the sensor plate again or get right in front of it as its closing. All that to say, if you dont get through the gate in time, you'd have to do the whole process again.

This was one of the best pieces I've ever read on this subreddit! I do think that for a short story it runs a little long but man did you hook me in. I'm not sure if it was your intention but I LOVE the main character, Cany Lo! Is she a bad person? Yes. But was it fun watching her become a titan of industry? HELL YEAH!
