How does Critique Circle work?
Every new account starts with 2 credits. Therefore, you need to critique at least one story before you can submit your own story, as the cost of submitting a story is 3 credits.
You earn credits by critting stories. If your crit reaches 150 words you earn 0.5 credits, and if it reaches 300 words you earn 1 credit. Longer crits produce even more credits, up to a maximum of 2 credits per crit for 900 word crits. No credits are given out for crits under the 150 word limit.
To start, go to the story queue page and pick a story to crit! 😀
