= WHEN POSTING FOR CRITIQUE =
- State whether you want feedback on prose, dialogue, pacing, general impressions, or if anything at all is fine.
- Give context. Short story, essay, chapter from a novel? Is it genre fiction? Standards and expectations vary based on what you're writing.
- If it's a first draft, say so. Most anons aren't willing to critique low effort writing samples, so edit and proofread.
- Images are more frequently engaged with than links, but do as you please. Pastebin often rejects content and doesn't allow italics, so rentry.co is the suggested alternative.
You're asking for a stranger's time and effort. Put some of your own in.
