Pending FWG and applicants&rsquo; responses, the Saturday and Sunday sessions will be presented as panels during Oxfurred Comma so that other attendees may view (though not participate in) the process of critiquing.</p>
 <p><strong>Note:</strong> This workshop is being held as partial fulfillment of my Master&rsquo;s of Fine Arts in creative writing program. The sessions will be recorded, though those recordings will be kept between myself and my advisor and mentor. However, should this prove successful, I would love to hold it at future conventions!</p>
 <h2 id="application-process">Application process</h2>
 <p>To apply to this workshop, please provide a writing sample &mdash; either a short story or logically complete segment of a larger work with a short paragraph describing its context &mdash; of 2000 words or less. This writing sample may be the same one used for the critique assignment described below, but doesn&rsquo;t need to be. To apply, email your writing sample in MS Word .docx, LibreOffice .odt, or Google Docs link (we&rsquo;ll be using the comment feature, and those are the best options) to <a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#111;&#99;&#119;&#119;&#64;&#109;&#97;&#107;&#121;&#111;&#46;&#105;&#111;">&#111;&#99;&#119;&#119;&#64;&#109;&#97;&#107;&#121;&#111;&#46;&#105;&#111;</a> along with a short, one paragraph bio for yourself. </p>
 <p>Decisions will be made within a few days (pending the number of applications) and selected participants will be notified by email.</p>
 <p>Priority will be given to those who have never attended a writing workshop before. If you have, don&rsquo;t let that stop you, just be sure to mention so in your bio.</p>

 <h2 id="assignments">Assignments</h2>
 <p>One week before the workshop begins, students will be provided with reading materials that will be heavily discussed in the workshop.</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Participants will be provided with a short critical reading assignment that they will have read with the goal of participating in a discussion about the mechanics and experience.</li>
-<li>Participants will provide a short story (or logically complete story segment with a paragraph of context) of 1000&ndash;2000 words. Each participant will read the other participants&rsquo; stories with the same goal of providing feedback and learning for their own craft. This story should not be one that has been published before and, ideally, not one read by the other participants.</li>

 </ul>
 <p>During the workshop session on Friday, students will be provided with a writing assignment that will be due 24 hours later on the evening of Saturday. These assignments will be forwarded to the other participants to read that night/Sunday morning in order to be able to hold a second critique session during the final session.</p>
 <p>I fully acknowledge that this is a short period of time, especially during a convention where you might want to attend other panels. However, I encourage participants to use this as a motivating factor for their own writing, and remember that the only two ways to &lsquo;fail&rsquo; the workshop are to not participate or not learn anything. Still, take this into consideration when considering whether to sign up for this workshop.</p>

 <p>I&rsquo;m Madison Scott-Clary (she/her), and I&rsquo;ve been chilling in the furry writing community for a decade or so now. I was editor-in-chief of [adjective][species], an online magazine exploring the social and demographic aspects of the furry subculture, and editor-in-chief of Hybrid Ink, a small publishing house focused on thoughtful LGBTQ+ writing. I am the author of the Post-Self cycle, the Sawtooth anthologies, and three other books, and have edited or helped edit the short story anthologies <em>Arcana &mdash; A Tarot Anthology</em>, <em>When the World Was Young: a Prehistoric Anthology</em>, and <em>Clade</em>, an anthology of stories set in the Post-Self universe. I am currently studying for my MFA in creative writing at Cornell College, and this workshop is being held as part of that degree program.</p>
