I mean, apart from say, 3 people here, I can't get anything in the way of actual criticism if my writing anywhere apart from a like or something and I post on here, bnet, Bethesda forums, HaloArchive and one or two others. Problem is, I can never get any genuine feedback on how to make my work better and I don't know if it's just that my writing is shit or no one cares, and I'm presuming a combination of the two. I mean, I'm not going to give up or anything, but I'm questioning a lot recently why I still bother with my lore project when I it's becoming evident that what little motivation I had to do it aside from my own enjoyment- to hopefully give other people something to enjoy reading like I have with halo or mass effect- is becoming redundant if no one actually cares.


Anyway, I'm not here to complain and tell everyone to read my stuff, because I'm not going to force people to do something they don't want out of pity, but I want to know if anyone knows any decent websites where I can get feedback on stuff because I am starting to consider giving up on it otherwise and spend time doing something actually useful like schoolwork.

Depends on the type of criticism.

Your writing is shit.

10/10 criticism on my part.

No! Don't you consider stopping! I'm sorry, I don't know any good places for writers to get feedback, in fact I don't know any at all. But don't consider stopping! Try looking around a bit and searching for a place that will take in writers and their stories. I know there's lots of fanfiction places out there, but nothing really for writers and their original content. It's something my friend was always complaining about too. But hang in there. Don't you give up on yourself.

Almost always, with moderation
My writing skills aren't the best, so I couldn't give you any proper advice.

I wish I had enough time to go old school Goji and sentence by sentence analyze it. Either that or I could've given it to a friend who analyzes this stuff but that's not an option now either.

Look for a writing subreddit. That's probably your best bet.

I'd have to go with this as well.

Hmm...

Yeah, that place is derelict compared to FanFiction.net (which wouldn't be helpful in this case).

Maybe making one of those writing communities should be my next project...
