How does the Newbie queue work?
The Newbie Queue is designed to give Critique Circle's newest members a chance to get fast experience of the CC process.
You must submit your first story to the Newbie Queue. The only restriction is that you cannot post an Erotica story in the Newbie Queue. After that, you may submit a further two stories (maximum total of three submissions) or you may choose to submit to any of the other public queues.
To give all stories in the Newbie Queue the best chance of receiving a fair share of critiques, stories in this queue will move into 'older submissions' once they have received five critiques.
Anyone can critique stories in the Newbie Queue.
Newbies can critique stories from any queue they choose.
