 My haven in the maelstrom of online writing communities.
I love to dork around on the internet and I also love to write. Combining these two loves, however, proved to be a painful experience. There were too many worthless websites, claiming to be the best resource for a writer, cluttering up even the most exact search specifications.
I found Critique Circle on someone's list of useful sites and decided to try it out. The site's layout was clean and organized, an excellent first sign, and as far as I could see there were no spelling mistakes. It's depressing how many writing communities can't spell.
I critiqued someone's work and they replied in a friendly manner, actually thanking me for critiquing them. Another confusingly rare custom among the online communities. When I submitted my own story, I recieved a lot of quality suggestions phrased in a helpful way.
Finally, I'd found a place online where I could critique others and be critiqued myself without being annoyed by stupid little things.
Critique Circle is definitely my favorite resource for writing online. | Mellindrax

What is Critique Circle all about?
Critique Circle is an online writing workshop for all authors, whether they write literary fiction, genre fiction, articles or short stories. Our purpose is to provide a place for writers to give and receive feedback on their work, and thereby learn from one another. The Critique Circle also includes forums as well as helpful writing tools for manuscript progress, submission tracking, character generation and more.
Workshops can be an invaluable resource to writers as they are a great way to get feedback and suggestions on their manuscripts, as well as providing a social forum for interaction with other writers. Online workshops such as the Critique Circle have the added advantage of being accessible at any time and from any location regardless of geography.
Membership to the Critique Circle is free and we welcome everyone interested in using an online forum to improve their writing skills while helping others improve theirs. Critique Circle is open to all genres, including science-fiction, fantasy, romance, children's novels, horror and suspense.
We've endeavored to make Critique Circle as writer-friendly and secure as possible. People have full control over their submissions, including the ability to either hide them from all other users or delete them at any time. People can also choose to have the stories only visible to those who regularly critique, or those who have critted in the past month. We believe this feature will make people feel more secure about using the critique forum.
Those supporting the Critique Circle also have the option to form their own private critique groups, integrated into the global critique system.
