1) I agree. I guess I just want to walk carefully - especially in how it's presented to others. Participation in comms is all about how welcome people feel and honestly, I know I'm a decent writer and I find myself going "but how do I qualify again" ... so.
2) That works. Like I said, for me, it's personal. I'm not writing fic right now - save for a kind of CSI offshoot that is really it's own original story at this point. I wouldn't mind getting back into it, I actually would LOVE to get back into it, but there's a part of me that's like "welllllllll ...." so we'll see.
3) Get Your Words Out (http://getyourwordsout.livejournal.com/profile) It's fantastic. And you can only join once a year, but it's a great way to really focus your writing.
4) I agree with fairness - and this is just a case by case basis. But if the comm takes off, you're going to get a lot of people who don't have a history of crit. So are we going to do crit trainings? Or will crit just be limited to those of us who are original members?
