How does it work?
All via e-mail.
I pass the members your name and e-mail address and you would
also correspond with them, as well as offering support, tips,
encouragement and advice.
We all send our e-mails out as a round robin
not corresponding separately.
This seems to work and it cuts down on time as well.
But if members choose to send work/ correspond separately, they
can. Not everyone needs or wants a lot of critiques of their work.
What does it cost?
Its completely FREE of charge. All it costs is your time
and effort.
Are there any guidelines?
Yes. You MUST adhere to these before you are accepted as member
of Fiction Addiction. Please see the Guidelines
page.
What are the benefits of joining?
You have access to a group of writers who are passionate about
womag writing to provide feedback on your work.
Several members have been published professionally already.
Please remember that we are all at different levels some
of us are beginners, some are more advanced.
You can make friends and chat in a warm, welcoming supportive
environment.
What are the drawbacks?
You need time to commit to the project. Although theres
no pressure to keep up a correspondence, or to send stories or
feedback, we expect members to contribute.
What if a story clashes with another being sent out at the
same time?
Dont worry. Everyone works at a different pace and we will
all catch up eventually.
Do you accept any kind of work?
No. We are unable to accept childrens fiction, full length
novels and plays, any non-fiction, poetry, science fiction and
erotica.
Is Fiction Addiction on Twitter and Facebook?
No. This was discussed amongst group members and we decided against
it.
Can I drop out and re-join later on?
Yes, but please let us all know you are doing this.
Can I upload my story on this website?
No, sorry. Work is sent via e-mail to members only.
Who thought of the idea of an on-line writers circle?
Me Sharon. I know this idea isnt new and there are
other on-line writing circles out there. However, these usually
have closed membership.
