New here myself, but just scrolled through this section and think you might want to read the Sticky in Blue Pencil Edit. It seems one can be a "contest" to editors with a finished story. If you want constructive feedback I think requesting entry to Level One here would be your best bet, but here they give you assignments (still working on mine) so a finished story might not work. Good luck. Hope to read your story on this site soon! *s* -ash
