I've also learned my lesson... don't show said first draft to significant other until at least the next day. It's very painful to have the glow of achieving that completed draft shattered by critical comment before you've even slept on it!

We can do two things:
1: Post a story in progress, using a version number:
- My Short Story - 0.1.doc
- My Short Story - 0.2.doc
...
You may read and watch the writing process, but keep your mouth shut until version 1.0.
2: Agree on a specific post date, which is the very last date at which people can post their final stories (= done, but not critiqued and not edited yet).
I'm fine either way.
