    Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of my English Major in my yr 12 year and I've finished the story at 6000 words, due to the requirement being 6000-8000

    So whilst I can't post it I was wondering If I could have someone take a look, just so I can get a gauge on what they actually think? Like teachers and stuff only go so far, would anyone be interested?

    What it is primarily about is undertones such as how everything in the world is beginning to have a price, as in we don't think should I do this, but more Can I afford this? Then morality, good and evil etc; deliberately vague so markers don't google this shit online

    Why can't you post it in Original Work by Author? Just because of the concern that your teacher might wander onto DLP and see it? Would that even be against the rules, getting feedback on something you've done? It's not like you're asking us to write it for you, etc.

    And Google can't find anything you put in Original Work by Author, or at least that's my understanding. So I'd still suggest that.

    But to answer your question: You aren't an established enough member that you're going to have people jumping up left and right to help you out. Possible you'll get someone though, so good luck to you.

    It's more like when it is send it away to get marked there's a risk if it does pop up, they may think I've simply copy/pasted someone elses work then I have to prove I am the owner of my account etc; And could be accused of plagiarism etc;

    Just being very cautious haha

    Heh, he's got a good point there. They would definitely see it on google.

    Well, I just gave it a brief test and it doesn't seem like they pop-up so I might just throw it on and see what happens. Knowing my luck though it'll be the one thing that does, thanks guys

    Really? I sometimes google to find threads on dlp. Figured it'd be the same for the WBA.

    Yeah just copy pasting posts from Real Life discussion comes up, pasting two paragraphs of a story doesn't direct you through WBA.
