I've had several complaints about the Writer's Panel becoming over crowded with novels and the like, so I'd like to take a minute to set up some new guidlines for this subforum. Please take a minute to fully read and understand these guidlines for posting your work here.

The Writer's Panel is an advice and discussion subforum. This is the place to place such topics as:
arrow writing related resources
arrow specific writing techniques
arrow brainstorming ideas
arrow discussing specific writing related issues.

I know that many of you want critique on your work, but critique is offered in all of the subforums if you ask. In fact, that is one of the ideas behind this guild's creation.

That being said, you may post part of your stories here, provided you are asking a specific question about your writing. For example:

Allowed

"I'm writing a story but I'm having some trouble with my diologue. It just doesn't seem to flow very well, and I was hoping someone could help give me some advice on how I can fix it. Here is what I have written so far.



How can I fix this problem?"

Not allowed in the WP

"I'm writing a story and hoped I could get some critique. Please tell me what you think!



Any advice?"

I hope this makes things a little clearer about what may be posted in the WP. If you want general critique, feel free to ask for it in the appropriate subforum. Thank you for your time.

This pickled vegetable...

What about not posting stories but just asking general advice that can be applied to writing in general? (Like the thread I just created without reading these rules.)

... could kick your a** !!

What you posted is exactly the kind of thing that the WP was made for! Thank you for checking though. I updated the rules a bit to hopefully make them more understandable, but YES, this sub forum is for asking and giving advice and discussing writing related issues.

The only reason I even mentioned posting stories is because previously many people were posting full stories here asking for critique and that's just not what this sub forum was made for. As I said, if you have a very specific question related to your story, you may post an excerpt and ask for guidance if it's relevant.
