Monthly Writing Accountability Challenge

Martin put WDC in with Wattpad and Jukepop as popularity contests without any provisions about keeping work to yourself. She also mentioned that WDC is too big to find your way around. She also mentioned that she's tried each of the sites she had cited in her handout, and I do believe her. WDC can be hard to find what you want. If I hadn't found scroll and the people had helped me to create my own community - who knows?

But I counter with these points:
1. WDC has a lot of options about how public or private your work may be. I should qualify that you might need a membership upgrade of some sort, but I am need to check on that.
2. I have met a lot of wonderful people on WDC who happen to keep me on track and give me great feedback.
3. Once you find your way around you can make a good connection here and it doesn't have to be a popularity contest.

The sites she did say were pretty great (as in, not open to the public, you have to join the community) were Scribophile (which also has a goodie with NaNo and might be worth a trial) and Critique Circle. You get points for reviews and that in turn earns you reviews on your work. I'm curious as to the quality of these, and how those compare with WDC reviews: random, requested, or otherwise.

P.S. I need a domain and a plan for a website. I'm sure we'll discuss that in depth later because I suck at websites.
So... Question to the group: Have you tried other writing community sites, and what was your experience, and what keeps you here at WDC?

And there's no way I'm leaving WDC, even if I check out Scribophile or anything else. Don't worry!
