Critique Circle Online Workshop
Cyclone Jack:
Critique Circle
One of the best critique/workshop sites I've yet encountered. Lots of members, fairly short waiting time for story submission, interesting point system to ensure fairness in critiquing, and some of the most ingenious formatting systems I've ever seen. The software actually lets you create WYSIWYG inline critiques on the fly as you read. Very clever! :D
The entire setup is designed to protect your first publishing rights.
There's also an active forum and I've found the people there to be dedicated and friendly. What's more, the site also boasts a host of writing help tools (character templates, outlining program, etc.) and a nice database of links and articles on writing, editing and selling your work.

Ahh, Jack... I'm always hooked on hangman! Looks like a really neat site. Signed up and will spend some time there. Thank you for the hookup. :D
When you post on those sites how do you know that your stuff will be safe. Critque Circle specifically mentions copyright, but how do you really know?
Thank you again... if nothing else I'll procrastinate with hangman. :)

Critique Circle is pretty nice. I haven't posted too many stories as yet, because I'm working on novels and can't post all of my chapters yet.
I find it freaking difficult to find entertaining stories on there, though. I'm just picky, I think. If I could, and if I had more bloody availability, I would probably give them more critiques. I glance in every once in a while. :)

I found this place a couple of years ago, and did a few things in the beginning. But, yeah, most of the stories were very...erm...unpolished. After I read one story about some dragon slayer guy that had the line "He strode heroically toward the dragon" I stopped visiting.
I never racked up enough points to submit any of my own stuff, so I don't think I got the full effect of the system.
