Description

[writing critique feedback]

This group is for writers interested in getting and giving serious criticism/critiques.

We get lots of fantasy posts. We get lots of short stories. We have books posted chapter by chapter. Cross-genre, romance, detective stories. We see it all.

Rule #1: DON'T SUBMIT YOUR WORK UNLESS YOU'VE OFFERED AT LEAST 3 CRITS FIRST!
Rule #2: TRY TO DO SEVERAL CRITS BETWEEN YOUR SUBMISSIONS.
Rule #3: X-rated posts here: rude_writing
Rule #4: NO POETRY
Poets go here: creative_writing
Rule #5: Post your best work. Critting is too valuable a resource to waste on rough drafts.
Rule #6: Please snip your replies.
Rule #7: Reply to critiques of your own work, by all means. But please do not comment if the subject is another's work. Vicious circles develop ... grrr
Rule #8: Title your critiques with CRIT:[Story name]. Title your submissions with SUB:[Story name].

There are links to recent submissions and a file of links to subs in the files section. Both can be used to find subs to crit, if you're too impatient to wait.

We have a monthly prompt

If you hate what you read then say so—with reasons. Fragile egos need not apply! This group is for people who want to improve and want honest opinions about how to do so.

If you just want approval—don't join.
If you aren't going to post—don't join.
If you're ready to speak your mind—Welcome!

You can find links to posted work by going HERE [Look for 'links' file]
