Crits or critiques are pretty special, and have their own sub forum called Share Your Work (SYW). You need 50 posts to start a new thread in SYW.

Lots of times new members think they know what it means to be critiqued (critted), and that their work is ready for critique, when it isn't.

Requiring members to have 50 genuine, engaged posts gives new members a chance to figure out how critting works.

Until you have 50 posts, why not go to Share Your Work and read some crits, and carefully read the stickies.

Read some threads where someone else has posted word for critique, and then maybe try your own hand at critiquing someone else’s work?

Once you have 50 posts, you can start your own thread in Share Your Work. Until then, reading crits, and trying your own hand at critting will help you understand what it's like to be critted.

Two special notes:
* The SYW critique forums are not visible to unregistered members, or indexed by Google.

* You will need to message AW Admin to request access to the Erotica SYW forum, with a statement that you are over 21. Erotica and the NC-17 forums are password protected, and special access permissions to be set.

You will need to PM AW Admin with a statement that you are over 21 for the password to the Erotica forum.

With the retirement of AW Admin, you now need to start a Conversation with MacAllister asking for the password to the Erotica forum and stating that you are 21 or older, if you are.

Further clarifications:

Members cannot ask for critique until they have the required 50 substantive posts. This is not limited to posting in SYW but applies to all of a member's posts.

The only place where you may ask for critique or post work for critique is the appropriate board within Share Your Work (SYW).

All work posted at SYW must be entirely the work of the member posting it. It cannot be co-authored, written by a non-member who has given the member permission to post it, inherited from its author, generated in whole or part by an AI program, or otherwise not the member's own writing.

If your work is a hybrid of more than one genre, pick a single SYW board on which to post it.
