Welcome to the monthly Fictionistas Workshop Thread. This is a space to request feedback on your writing from your fellow Fictionistas. All you have to do is leave a comment with a link to the piece, what sort of feedback you're looking for, and where you'd like to receive the feedback. The piece itself doesn't even need to be on Substack.
When giving feedback, remember to be specific and constructive. Don't tear your fellow writers down with insults, but don't give them bland praise that leaves them in the dark over what precisely they did well either. And regardless of where the feedback is given, a comment on this thread about giving it will help people see who has received feedback already and who still needs some.
Hi! I'd love some feedback on any of my Harold and Sallie stories.
(Harold is a woodsman who frees Sallie, a fairy from a tree. I'm writing about their adventures and how they get along and adjust to being room mates)

Hi all, I'd like to share a link to a sci-fi story I'm serialising called 'dydx.' It's a story set in a future that is not so distant as to be unrelatable or so close as to be unfeasible. It deals with themes around time, identity, faith and free will.

I'm 3 chapters in and the plan is for 14 chapters. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback or comments you can share. Feedback by email (caufskiviers@gmail.com) is also very welcome! Thanks.
