September '09 TRAKking

Here’s the TRAKking for September ’09 (Marlene & I alternate tRAKking duties).

NewbieZZ – We tRAK participation based on our group guidelines (see 1st post of this thread) & award a RAK at the end of each quarter to the person who participated the most (if there’s a tie or if it’s close, we do a random drawing of those closest). PledgeZZ plus the last RAK-winner aren’t eligible to win the RAK.

The total # of LOs to critique varies per person. For example, if there are 10 total LOs posted by the group, but I posted 2 of them, then my total number to critique would be 8. My cutoff date for late critiques was 10/13. I also tRAKked BWC & ?OM responses, which are OPTIONAL.

Note that Marlene & I do tRAKking similarly but there are slight differences because it’s so involved & we go w/ what works for us; this is NOT a complaint, we both enjoy doing this! But thought I’d put it out there in case anyone’s wondering why that’s so.

Please let me know if you have any queZZtions!

It was a very close race for the July–September RAK… none of the RAK-eligible memberzz participated 100% “perfectly” but there was super-participation from Brenda, Lisa & Chris– yes, despite a month of not submitting, &/or late critiques here & there, you 3 consistently participated fully enough – checking in regularly, critiquing all or almost all LOs, posting works – that I needed a random drawing to settle things. It was just too difficult to compare what you all did (e.g. trying to compare all-on-time critiques & no submissions, vs. submissions but all late critiques, stuff like that) so I drew names from the 3 of ya. And the winner for our 3rd quarter SHCG RAK is....... CHRIS! Chris, please be on the lookout for your RAK. Congrats!!
