Ohhh, I like that idea niccy. It sounds really... harsh when you lay it out like that, but it looks like it works.

Oh, and critiquing new member's stuff. That gets me going.

I was in a critiquing slump like this for months. And then I registered here, and I don't know... joining a new writing board just makes me want to critique! Maybe you just need a new group of people to critique for.

Sorry I can't really be of more assistance. :(

Not a chance I'm joining another writing group!

Actually, I seem to have come out of it. I did four critiques today. I switched from fiction to poetry. That seemed to work the best. Take a break from the long stuff.

Thanks everybody!

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
