Hello other older members! (bah, I hate referring to my age range as 'older'!)
Nate, thanks for the other links. Yeah I turned away from writing.com. As for scribophile, their system just doesn't work for me. There's pressure to review just the 'spotlighted' works of which all briefly end up, meaning people are always reviewing things outside their chosen genres. You have to review to post your own, but each piece can only really get a few reviews before it's out the spotlight. You essentially review just to take others down and give yours a chance to go up in their place.
Then you're pressured to write much smaller pieces, and when you're writing bits of a novel it just isn't enough for someone to make sense of, especially as you end up with later chapters entering the spotlight without anybody having read previous ones. I guess it's better for flash fiction. Yadda yadda yadda, not explained that very well, essentially I'm not too fond of it.
Basically, I think YWS has, minor formatting issues aside, the perfect system. It's also very friendly and nice looking all around. Age range aside, I think it's my chosen site.
