Hi! I just happened to find this site yesterday in my search for online critiquing sites. So far I'm not really sure what I'm seeing... just threads and comments and no actual stories written by people anywhere on here. Am I simply overlooking it, or is this the wrong site to be looking at for feedback on a story? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm new and don't have a clue (cheesy rhyme I know)
- Thread starter AJones
- Start date
Regdog will be along with useful links of how to get started using the forums. Till then....
For some types of critique request, you must wait till you reach 50 posts, before you can post your work. Some people may not critque your work, unless you have critiqued others first. It's a supportive community, not so much a "give me what I need, and I will be on my way" community.
Each writing type may or may not have rules before you can share your work for critique. I think poetry does not have the 50 post rule, but do not hold me to that. Start below and read the rules for whatever part you want to share your work in....
