I take my responsibilities as Intensive Critique host seriously. I agreed to take on the hosting because I intend to increase the level of activity in this really great group. Over the years, IC has built up a magnificent history of detailed and exceptionally helpful critiques, and I want to see that continue into the future. Good work is happening in IC now, but it would be even better if there were more of it, and if things happened faster.

We have quite a lot of members who have been very quiet for a while. I would love to see some of those people participating once again. Come on - post something! Critique something! Say something!

I have now culled the two members of this group who had been silent for the longest time. They are gone. So say something ... or next time, it will be you for the chop. 

Catkin, how wonderful that you should be hosting the group. I'm so impressed.
No reflection on the past host, of course, who did a great job.
 

Thank you.

Yes, Manusha was a really great host.
