Hey there folks, I've got a conundrum on my hands. I feel like I just don't fit in anymore at this fine establishment you have here. Does anyone know where I might find another solid writing website that might be more suited to my tastes? Preferrably something a little more mature, darker, complex. And when I say darker I don't mean that insipidly, as in "I cut myself to make the bad thoughts go away because mommy didn't hug me."
Basically I need something with a community that doesn't consist mostly of young writers. I'm not a young writer anymore, and I can't match perspectives in this place. PM me if you have anything I might be interested in. T'would be greatly appeciated.
"Is", "is." "is" — the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don't know what anything "is"; I only know how it seems to me at this moment. -Robert Anton Wilson

Critique Circle is a good one. It's less comunity oriented, but it has a great critiquing system that makes it easier to do line by line critiques.

Personally, I advise against writing.com. If all you want is a place to back up your work online, writing.com is perfect, but you can't expect any useful critiques.

You could also try [url=fictionpress.com]Fiction Press[/url]. It has virtually no community in it, which can be good or bad, depending on your taste. I got some good critiques during my time there.



Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
