Discussion → is this going to be a working writers workshop? critiques/suggstions/and stuff?
-
just curious. Great to see these groups are forming - and it's an exciting time to be here!

I think it could be. There used to be some discussion whether Fictionaut was for showing off previously published stories or for getting feedback on new work, and I always thought it could be both.
So far, writers used the author's note to say what kind of comments they're looking for, but I think now, we could use groups for that, as well. This one here is meant as a catch-all workshop with a rule to comment on two stories if you add yours here. (Guess the first two stories to be added get a freebie.) Of course, there are dozens of other ways of doing this, so please don't hesitate to form your own group if you have a better idea.
Oh, that reminds me -- maybe we should have a group for previously published stories, as well?
Group Description
If you have published a text in Fictionaut and want some constructive feedback, or feel the text still isn't all fitting yet, then try The Workshop:
-> Add your text to this group (to do that, go to your text, then click on the “Group it” button above the title.) (note: your text will still be visible in the regular story-listing)
-> As a starter for feedback, add a comment with a note on the text/ or with specific questions.
-> Consider giving some feedback in return, to keep the workshop moving.
NOTE: there also is a "HIDDEN" Workshop. If you are working on a story or a poem, and want some feedback, but don't want your text to be visible for everyone already, then leave a note in the "Doormat" thread, and you will receive an invite for "The Hidden Workshop".
This is a public group.
Anyone can see it and join.
