This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

Right, it was suggested we could start a thread like this, so I volunteered! etc-love

Basically, you can ask for reviews or critiques of your work here and hopefully give reviews and critiques in return! Little mini writers' forum.

Volunteering for critiques! I'll do short stories, but don't ask me about poetry. I have no romance in my soul. emot-keke

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

I should be able to take on a bit more. I can do any type of work, be it poetry, prose, short story, or tl;dr. I work as an editor, so you can expect good grammar and thorough examinations. emot-dance

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

Just came to say I love this idea. I'm trying to get into writing. Its still effing hard, but I hope it does get easier w/ time.

Also I'm writing primarily in portuguese but I would love if you would help me with the english skills.
Thanks for these very cool idea. Lets get 'em coming.

Cheers.

Hardly "literature", but what the hell. my Evangelion fanfic. I'd be happy to get some feedback, and more than willing to provide some in return.

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

It's a bit long for me to feel comfortable reading it over, I'm not sure if I'd be able to finish it. Is this a possibility for anyone else?

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

This is a pretty interesting list of writing prompts that made me want to pick up a pen. I haven't written anything in ages, though, and even when I did it was for school.

But I know a lot of you are avid writers so I thought I could share. Maybe put up an IRG challenge to see who can come up with what?

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

I am thinking about posting some writings on the internet to get my story going, see if I can get some readers/crits etc.
So I was wondering if you could help me w/ two questions:

What do you ppl think is the best platform for this kind of thing (posting fiction stories)?

Also, I was wondering if the fanfic.net would be a good website for posting original stuff and not.. well.. fanfiction.

Ty ppl. etc-love

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

pschreiber, there are online writing groups you could probably join for some of that, especially if you're on facebook, but honestly - and I'd recommend this to anyone - if it's your own stuff and not fic, you might as well send it out to magazines or websites. Start with the no-pay stuff, but submit. You'll get good, honest feedback from editors, if you do get feedback, as opposed to comments from Jane Doe whose qualification for criticizing your hard-written, deeply personal story might otherwise chew at you.

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

I've been looking at this thread for a while, and I'm finally going to try this out. This is something that's admittedly almost a year old by now, but I still was proud of what I wrote out. It's sort of a crossover between SKU and... yes, Catscratch. I just managed to get this bit of Ordinary World/ Crossing the Threshold written out, and I'm just wondering if it'd be worthwhile to continue it in any form.

Here's the piece in question. (Here)

I thought that deeply personal stuff was what this thread was for. I was kind of sheepish about posting a link to my shitty fanfic.

Maybe we ought to do a split, one for proper literature and one for fanfics etc.

Sorry, I meant that in response to them asking for other places. I think here is good for both, but when you get outside of here, fic is good for repositories like fanfic.net, while original stuff probably has better chance to reach people, particularly people who'll respond, through different venues. And the other way 'round, too.

BTW, I've been reading your posted fic. I've got some criticisms and some questions, but it ain't shitty.

Re: Give/Get Literature Reviews/Crits

Not sure how appropriate it is to post this here, but I've been working on what will be a rather lengthy Final Fantasy 6/13 crossover fanfiction if anyone wants to give it a look. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11474843/1/Worlds-in-Ruin


Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feel to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
