Yeah, I was looking forward to skewering people and thee was no one to skewer.

As for the assignments - one thing I discovered a long time ago is that if you read a story and then destroy it - give it a critique as to why it was lacking - you can take a more critical look at your own work. Critically looking at your own work is hard unless you have a clue why things work or don't. This is part of the reasons Aussiegirl made these assignments as they are.

No, they aren't th emost creative type of assignments - but they do get writers to look at things from a different angle. Something most authors can't or won't do.

By the way - how come no one has wanted to destroy my chapter on Level 2? Those no good thankless students! I am so gonna rip someone a new asshole!

Oh - love you all...really.
