Critter Notices

Expanding Critters - Feedback Wanted

I've long planned to offer workshopping in more genres, both writing and in other creative areas. But there are lots of options how to do that... so I'd appreciate your thoughts. Please share your thoughts here, so I can keep them in one place. Thanks!

Notices Layout

So, lookie, I've moved the notices over here because of popular demand. Hope you like. Don't forget to look at them though!

Free Ads for Your Stuff

Many Critterfolk have asked if they could advertise their books, stories, etc. on Critters. I know how important it is to get the word out — and how hard that is — so I decided heck, let's try it as a benefit of active membership. Read more...

The State of The Future?

What are your thoughts about the future (as in, "The Future")? Is the future healthy or are people burned out on it? Share your thoughts...

Ebook Pricing

The e-book pricing survey results are in! Read more...

As a result I'm doing an experiment to test the variable pricing, "Pay As You Like It" model. Read more...

Vote for Your Favorites!

I've launched a poll / reading list for your all-time favorite books, short stories, poems, poets, & authors, in each genre. Please vote and share the link. The more votes the better the scoring gets. Vote here...

Wishes for the Future

What do you want the future to hold? World peace? Self-driving cars? Share your dreams of the future, big or small, on the Wishes for the Future forum. What would you love to see? (It's part of my NewNewForum.com site. Meant to be fun, and it's anonymous, so don't be shy!)

Story Idea Seed Garden

Critter member Virginia Mohlere suggested this concept -- a page where authors could share and find idea seeds for stories. Great idea! Thanks, Virginia.

For some authors coming up with ideas is easy and they come up with more ideas than they could ever use, yet it's the writing that's harder. Vice versa for others. Thus a bag of ideas from authors of the former type can be helpful to authors of the latter. That's what this is. :)

FYI, ideas are not copyrighted, and, as has been tried successfully, different authors will generate entirely different stories from the same idea, thus there's no harm in sharing or using ideas here.

So wade on in! Enter & discuss your idea seeds below... Enjoy!
