New Workshop Needs Critics!

One of our new members, Archerite, would like a fic workshopped!

So, if you'd like to volunteer to be a critic, post here.

I'll keep this thread open until we get enough volunteers.

We've got:

I've never done a workshop before, and I'm not entirely sure how it works. But I'm willing to learn. Count me in!

Thanks a lot, guys!

I thought it would be useful to tell you a little about the story, so you know what you're getting yourselves into. I'm just gonna copy here what I wrote in the "Do you want your fic workshopped?" thread.

I've rated the story at NC-17, because there is an intimate moment at the core of it, but I've kept things on the decent side (or, at least, I tried to :D). It belongs in the Archer/T'Pol Het category. The story is 5068 words - I'm not sure that fits into the 10 pages limit.

As a short summary, it takes place a few days after the events of "A Night in Sickbay" and deals with Captain Archer's futile attempt to cope with his newly acknowledged attraction for T'Pol. He is feeling guilty about it and decides the only way to alleviate his unpleasant feelings is to actually confess to T'Pol. So, he pays her a late night visit to her quarters. She listens to him and, to his surprise, offers a logical solution to his problem: give him what he wants and call it a night. :P No strings attached, just as a way of releasing the tension.

Big thank you, everyone, for volunteering! :thankyou

I have to admit I'm a little nervous now that it's actually happening, but I know that this experiment will help me a great deal.

You're very welcome. No need to be nervous - I believe that, so far, everyone who's done this has said that it's helped a lot and that they enjoyed it as well. :)
