[QUOTE="takyris, post: 224343, member: 5171"] I would maybe be interested in something like that. I've also found that depending on where you live, there's a good chance that there's a writing group in your area that doesn't frown on Genre Fiction. I've been in four groups here in the SF Bay Area, all of which were genre-based. Some had more fantasy and some had more of a hard SF bent, but all of them were open to seeing anything that I wrote. It might also be a good idea to set some expectations for what you wanted in terms of a group. If you just want to show off fun stuff you wrote, that's cool. If you want to share ideas, that's cool. If you want someone to rip your story apart in order to get you to a point where you can rewrite it and sell it, that's cool. But when you have a group where one person wants his story critiqued with in-depth attention with an eye toward publication and one person is just writing for relaxation and doesn't really want to hear criticism, that gets not-cool fast -- unless everyone knows the ground rules. Sorry to jump in. Know I'm new on this board, and there's no reason any of you should listen to me -- but I've been through several writing classes, plus Clarion, plus several writing groups with various success levels, and I like the idea of a group of gamers critiquing each other's fiction. -Tacky [/QUOTE]
