We hope to make this a supportive and helpful group of aspiring writers who seek the assistance of their peers to review their works and improve their writing skills. The idea is for you to post your creative work here so that other members can comment upon your work, offering constructive criticism to help you improve the piece.
Membership is free and open to persons eighteen years or older. Just click the link in the right side column to request membership through email. You'll be asked to state your age and submit a sample of your work to prove your sincerity. We'll send a formal invitation in email within 24 hours.
Our creed is stated at the top of the right side column, but let me go over it here in detail.
(1) Posting your work here does not constitute publication. We offer no payment and we expect no fees. You are posting your piece to solicit comment and critiques from your peers.
(2) The members retain all rights to their work. All work is considered to be copyrighted by the author and plagiarism at any level by any member will not be tolerated.
(3) PPTP is an adult community and posts with adult language or adult situations are fine, but we will not accept erotic or pornographic works or gratuitously violent works.
(4) Comments and critiques must be helpful, supportive, and specific. The writers want your assistance, but it does no good to tell someone their grammar needs work without showing them exactly where they've made the mistake.
(5) Flames, gossip, or rudeness will be deleted. We will not tolerate any hateful or hurtful comments. It is perfectly easy to point out a story's weak spots without trashing the author.
(6) There is zero tolerance for spam. Any member who spams any other member or who submits spam posts or spam comments will be summarily deleted. If you have something that you think the group would benefit from seeing please use the "Suggest A Link" option in the right side column.
Well, that about wraps up the preliminary details. If you're ready then jump in, request your membership and let's see your stuff!
