What site do you use for writing group?
Main Post:
I pay at critiquecircle and Scribophile. I'm 80% to scrib because of the superior editing options. I like the ease of making groups at crit, which I've yet to attempt on scrib. Any other champs and why?
SIDENOTE : do we agree it's madness to try and write professionally without peer feedback?
Top Comment: I can't stand scribophile. I was criticized for writing a dream sequence (because the critic just didn't like dream sequences (the sequence was also, like, two sentences long)) and I was told that my paragraphs were too even. I also wasn't really interested in reading anything there, and I was too harsh when I critiqued others. There's a book with a name I can't remember...a female author associated with Dean Wesley Smith. It's on amazon, and it has a purple cover with text only. Anyway, her thing was that critique circles are a load of crap. Readers, when they buy a book, aren't looking for problems. They're looking for what they like. Critique circles, however, are full of people who probably aren't interested in your genre—people who are also reading purely to find problems. A book like The Da Vinci Code never would have made it out of a critique circle (ditto for The Lord of the Rings, Dune, or seemingly any book that has ever changed the world). I've been to a few critique circles. Every last one of them was mortifying for everyone involved. I feel like a book launch party with wine and cheese would be way more fun. So it's probably better to listen to reader critiques. I blew the launch of my first written-to-market scifi series because politics was involved. Multiple readers wrote negative reviews which mentioned nothing but the politics. DAMN. But I'm not sure a critique circle would have even picked that up. They would have looked for stylistic triumphs and typos. When I look at the kindle bestsellers on amazon, what I see is that readers want action and emotion turned up to 11. I don't blame them.
What site do you use? And which group (skidrow, reloaded,etc)
Main Post:
I used to download cracked games from Reloaded at kickass torrents (kat.ph). Now that the site is down, where can i find torrents from reloaded? (I use them cause i never had any viruses from them and everything worked perfectly). Im mostly interested in games like arma 2 and the like, and reloaded used to have them(i downloaded arma3 from them)
