Comment by Syeda Tasmia Tahia on November 23, 2012 at 4:49am: What happens when a lonely young soul, craving the affection of the one he tries his best to hate, meets the brightest starlet in the sky? Do the twinkling warmth of her smile thaw the chilling intensity of his stone-heart, or would the stone crush her to pieces? Meet Shreya, a rising model turned cricket presenter and Ishan, a steroid-abusing, self-harming young pace-bowler on the quest to reach the top. what happens when they crash into each other?

Comment by Robert Edward Fahey on January 3, 2012 at 11:53am: I wouldn't know: I was born deaf. - But this is the sort of thing that I wouldn't want to enter into if it's just like everyone else's critique group. Wide open critiquing circles where everyone comments on everything hasn't worked for me so far. Your idea that we choose a partner relevant to our shared needs, experience, and quality / qualities would be great, but the other we could find pretty much anywhere. I would love to find a high quality critiquing circle that one had to apply for, submit samples, and be accepted into. SheWrites is the highest caliber I have found so far, but the critiquing circles appear to be wide open. I'm fine with this new concept of yours not quite gelling if the only way to birth it is to set it up so it allows for a circle of folks who can whip out six vampire books every year critiquing layered, psychospiritual, metaphorical literary fiction that takes years to polish.

But you have planted the seeds, and this is a good thing. Your ideas will lead somewhere, I am sure.
