I know about WattPad. I use it. But are there others? And do you like them better than YWS or not?

I'm bored. Bleh.

There's Review Fuse which is alright. The community is small and not very tight knit - it's less about meeting people and more about getting and giving reviews. But what is nice is that you can expect to gain reviews on a parallel with how quickly you give them, but I'm using the word reviews lightly as quite often they're 'comments'. But if you're looking for quick feedback, use it as a supplement to YWS?

Any opinion I could give you on others would be out dated as I don't stray far from YWS.

Sad and good in a way... but it seems pretty unanimous that there isn't(Good because well, we're on it!, sad because there's no options? I guess?). Are you looking for comments and readers or reviews? Unless the sight forces reviewing, I will be skeptical that it can be good in terms of helpfulness. I've never used any other site, nor looked, but thiere was this thread not to long ago:

(Started by Rydia, above xD)

Maybe there is, but it seems none of us have found it. I think that the community featurs and what not that YWS offers are what make it so much "better," but a writing site is a writing site; ultimately people go there just to have people read their "omgImthebestwriterever" stuff (That's practically why I came here xD), when they really suck (I can't accurately judge myself here~ ;D), only to be humbled (We have some truly talented people here!) and get better(in the case of YWS).

This post was probably nothing helpful to you... but I just wanna say:
There's no place like YWS [That we know of]! :3

FanFiction.net(FFN) & FictionPress.net(FP)

Sister sites. Both are very amazing and fun.

Nike,

Wattpad is nothing like YWS. Upon seeing this thread a few days ago, I decided to join that site.

They don't want reviews there.....They just want praise. If you point out a mistake, they'll delete your review. That's just barbarism.

I feel safe only in here. YWS :)

The Wattpad app is pretty awesome-- I love that I can save stories and read them offline on my iPod. Otherwise, I use Fiction Press and sometimes Figment for general reading purposes; I haven't found somewhere that has a family feel but I haven't looked very hard either.

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
