Hello! Thanks in advance to anyone who has the time to read this. I received a TMGE rejection message yesterday afternoon for this three-part series ("Lab Pet"). I haven't written anything creative, much less Neo-related, for some time so I figure I am a bit rusty. I was wondering if anyone might be able to glance over and provide constructive criticism or tell me outright if this story just isn't very interesting or worth telling... I thought it was pretty good, at least on par with my older submissions, so I'm a bit uncertain what I should do with it (i.e. work it and resubmit or abandon altogether ). Thanks again very much! **update** posted a revision to a google doc docs.google.com/document/d/1oik9WaGb-k0eBhN282WIBz8O1vPOSz3psR8WoDINBwQ/edit

Hey Sunny, I read the first part. I think the story is an interesting concept, I enjoyed it and want to read more. However, there's a few typos that could be holding you back from being accepted. Stuff like saying "Baby Blue," instead of "Baby Blu," or not capitalizing the first word in a paragraph. I would maybe suggest printing out the story if you have access to a printer, and pouring over it with a pencil or something, to catch these typos. I would also suggest putting it on a google doc if you have access to a google account, and then putting the access settings to anyone with a link can comment, though not edit. That way, as someone reads it, they can point out exactly where they find the typo, when they find it. Good luck!

Thank you so much!
I didn't even realize there were typos like that... I read it over several times and thought Id caught them all but you're correct the best way is often to print it out.
I apologize, I'll give it another read over and fix those more minor issues and repost on a google doc.
Thanks again!
