Indeed writers need feedback and the exchange with fellow writers. It is so wonderful when you have someone with who you can discuss ideas that you have in your head and develope them. Sadly these people are rare to find .__.
When I left that one anime site where this group was (sadly the site itself turned into a kindergarten site where it wasn't fun anymore ... still I miss this damn site)I was like "Okay find another place.There are many sites outthere you can try out".
I tried to be a writer on dA. Worked prety good but only within the very tiny fandom I was back in those days. But I had a small circle of readers who commented and faved my work, gave me feedback and encouraged me to write. Since my native language isn't English they also pointed out mistakes.
Then dA slowly began to die because people migrated to other sites (mostly facebook and tumblr). Well tumbrl can be nice but I it is hard to find your place there. Well my works get recognized when I post the links to my AO3 but the lack of feedback is sometimes frustraiting. Also on AO3 ... I mean you write a story that is around 5K words and all you get as comment is just one word -.- Well that was the point when I deceided to delete really all useless comments xD
Dunno when I read a story and comment (I seldom read anything but then I always comment) than I mention what I liked and maybe point out a scene that was amazingly done or maybe something from the writing styl that made an impression on me. I don't want very long comments (but they can be nice too) but comments where I can see that the person has really read the story and that there was something they really liked about it .__.
Since I am really missing a place a where writers can interact with each other I created such a group on my own.
