I'm wondering if someone can point me somewhere useful.
Here's the deal:

I'm looking to do more creative writing. The brain is rusty and underused. I joined [livejournal.com profile] great_write_way, which provides a challenge once a week for very very short fiction. I like this. I think this is very, very cool. However, I would like to have some call to write more than once a week. And I am perfectly capable of coming up with my own prompts, but I want to put things out for comment/critique, and I don't want to do it here in my journal. I am cruel, sometimes, but I am not that cruel. I like you all too much to subject you to that.

Can anybody point me to a group (LJ communities are the best, since I'm already here) that they participate in or have seen and enjoy? I have been looking around, but since I really don't do fanfic (I'm not very fannish, or at least not involved enough in that sort of thing to be able to write convincing fanfic [not that 'convincing' seems to be important]), I haven't found much.

I did, however, find Jesus/Judas slash. But that's the sort of thing I have come to expect from the Internet.

Mercy Buckets.

EDIT: And if [livejournal.com profile] fionnabhar and I started our own writing community, would you come and play?

I'll mod it if that helps. Never done that before, but I figure we need to do it by invite. Ought to be pretty self-managing that way. I think.

TOTC works pretty well, despite its controversial nature, by just putting posts on my friends page where I'll see them. The one ass-hat we had just made me institute a 'screen posts by non-members' setting, which I can show FNS how to set up if you like. Then I just use the ban function liberally when needed, which is very infrequently. I expect if you craft a good info page, you'll have even less problems than I.

Crap. I should go home. *whap self*

Built it, sent you an invite. Wanna take a look around before I start inviting more people in?

Also, I'm with [livejournal.com profile] triadruid. Let's start out open, with the stated option to boot people who make trouble, and see what happens. If it starts to get out of hand, we can always lock it down later. I just want to get a decent membership at first.

I didn't get an invite to anything that I know of. Did I miss something obvious?
