Same here. I had to build up karma before I could post work for critique (same as elsewhere) and so I did. Then I got banned for using the word bloody. Actually I got banned for following up on the reason why my post(s) were deleted.I got banned from one forum on a totally different subject (3 days) so went looking for a forum for writers and found this one in Google search. I'm very glad I did.
Miss Snark's blog went dark, for nefarious reasons, and I followed everyone here. I still heart Miss Snark, however.
