Please Read Before You Post!

[Ingrid, Just another writer.]

There's a fresh new smell in the air. Blossoming flowers, dewy raindrops, sultry green grass on our front lawns: The ringing bells of springtime. And that also means, spring writing.

Apart from the other group sectionals, this workshop is provided for all of you to post your writing UNDER THE TOPICS THAT ARE GIVEN. So I would be pleased if you'd save the moderators the trouble of removing new topics in this new edition of our Critique Group.

1.) This is also open to poetry. Poets will be given a special topic under the Critique Folder. Poems have no limits. They can be any length, stanza, or meter.

2.) There will be component topics for romantic and sexually graphic scenes. I will impose user ratings on them by age. Minors will thus be prohibited from seeing over 18 material. Or viewers will be wary of the writing they post. But this is only to monitor the writing, not to restrain it. Any writing is accepted.

3.) Accept the cold truth: Readers who want to critique the writers are obligated to exercise their free will! Do not feel injured because of one political statement: You are the creator, the distributer of your thoughts. If you or someone else doesn't like your genre or taste, fix it. Also do not complain to me if someone is a bad critiquer. I will closely monitor the reviews. I don't mean to be harsh but we writers take a needy sensitivity and any harassment or flagellation on any writer will cause that person's comment to be blocked; also the treasoner will risk being prohibited from commenting in our Writing Workshop.


4.) Depending on the number that I am pleased with, categories in this folder will be Poetry, Romance, Graphic Romance, Horror, Thriller, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Western, Action, Drama, Mystery and Suspense, Humor, and possibly country, which adds along to western. Autobiographies and memories will be joint addons. Historical fiction will also be added.

5A.) This is not a link page. Do not send links to a forum of your writing, like the ones Goodreads provides. This is a spot for IMMEDIATE RESPONSE advice like ESSAYS, ARTICLES, SHORT STORIES, POETRIES, MEMORIES, AND EXCERPTS OF LONG-LENGTH NOVELTIES.
I won't say that chapters aren't accepted, but they must be indented and in neat formatting. There must be space inbetween all structures!

5B.) Be sure that readers won't be confused by minor capitalization and punctuation errors. Moderate spelling check. Reviewers should critique on the basics also as well as the extremes!

6.) If one person has already put their story or font in one section, do not TRY TO MAKE A NEW TOPIC IN THIS FOLDER. The purpose of topic labeled by genre is so that a multitude of wide writing are displayed in one area, not dozens.

7.) HAVE FUN!
