I have been contacted by a fellow member and aspiring writer...or dare I say author...that would be interested in putting together a writing group of sci-fi and fantasy writers.

The initial thought is that we will take writing samples from those interested and make a judgement as to whether or not we would like them included -- we are seeking serious, quality writers seeking to hone their craft.

Details are yet to be fleshed out - but in short, once we gather a group, we would exchange writings, offer comments and reviews for each other, and hopefully inspire and support each other towards whatever our personal goals may be.

I suggested perhaps a monthly "competition" where we can let two writing samples go head-to-head for votes, in my belief that healthy "competition" will bring out the best in us.

If anyone would have idea on how best to gather writings and comments - perhaps a wix.com website, or some other external site where we can do this apart from the forum, even a pre-existing social-writing website - please give us ideas. Links to writings could be provided here on occasion as well when people have things they wish to submit for a wider audience to comment on.

So...if interested, throw you name on the list, and throw your ideas on how this might work into the thread.

* Though this is a "krellin" thread, this is also a serious thread. Yeah...hard to believe...but those that know me do know that I like to write, and have presented a few passages to the crowd in the past. I would appreciate you taking it seriously with me! Thanks in advance.
