I'm wary of these sorts of forums for critique anyway, because there's a much higher tendency for people to try to dismiss or counter all criticism they receive than I usually have to deal with when I try to give someone feedback on their work.
not that our little ficly community was any better buuut
When we were there, the site was us, some good writers, a lot of awful writers
then, as people have pointed out a few times, the awful writers banded together and started only writing things for each other
at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if ficly was largely just people reading what people they already know have written. I do think it would be neat to kick this up again, but I wouldn't expect much (even in the way of views) from anyone who doesn't post on SE, which would make it hard to avoid it turning all circlejerky again
Instead of having to use this Ficly site, we should make a thread here for posting and critiquing. Or maybe, like, a whole sub-forum.
There's a reason no one goes into Writer's Block
Plus, Ficly is all Web 2.0!

hey now, WB rocks
we can make a thread there for short shorts like this if you guys want but it seems weird to start a whole new thread for every 1,024 character story or whatever the limit is

i expected at least some people wandering in to hate on the site again or something
e: I've wandered over there occasionally, but since we all up and left the material is mostly eeeehhhhh
didn't like the circlejerking that was happening and the 'us vs them' mentality that appeared
I actually clicked your Ficly link just last night
I would actually like to go back to Ficly and start tabula rasa
But I can't actually seem to care enough to go back in there, even though I know I can write well enough to excel
maybe i am overestimating the utility of this site and i should just post things on my blog instead

However, there are some good writers on there. In fact, I think the good/awful ratio has balanced out a bit.

some of ya'll write some straight up bullshit
one is people who post these epic seven-part stories... i think that kind of defeats the purpose of the site
the other is people who post a bunch of stuff in a row, because then it bumps new things off the page faster
Go be all prolific and then turn down any invitations for any groups

I really should. It was about a miracle investigator for the Vatican that was slowly becoming an atheist.

Not on purpose though. Jsut because my wordplay is not what i'd like it to be.
will update with acccount info later.
agh shit
also someone commented on one of my stories like yesterday which was weird because it was like the first one I've gotten in a month or two
but then it was for the only story of mine that people read on there so
