[QUOTE="takyris, post: 225038, member: 5171"] Old One: Exactly. Here would be the qualifications that'd make it interesting for me: 1) Not a public board. I don't mean that people have to try out -- I just don't want to put a story up and have it viewable to anyone in the whole world who wants to see it. So an "Only members, who have signed up and stuff, get to read the Submissions thread" rule would be good. It would also effectively weed out the people who were just interested in egoboo, as opposed to people interested in writing, rewriting, and getting that bad-boy published. 2) Probably a separate area for the stuff that WAS just fanfic, humorous essays, or story hours -- since I'd still wanna read 'em -- but I'd want a differentiation between "Here's a story based on my D&D campaign that I want to shave the serial numbers off of and submit to Black Gate (S&S Fantasy Magazine)" and "Here's my story hour, dang there are some funny ideas in here." 3) An informal but recognized "Critique to Post" ratio. If you can't be bothered to crit anyone else's works, I don't wanna read yours. 4) Critique ettiquette. I've got some info from Clarion and from a bunch of old writing workshops that are good for getting across what is helpful and what isn't. The Clarion stuff is nice because it's geared to genres -- critiquing genre fiction is often tricky because it gets so segmented that you can really have someone saying, "Well, I'm probably a bit biased, because I don't like 'Turns into a Vampire Voluntarily to Fight Evil' stories...." More as I think of 'em. -Tacky [/QUOTE]
