Alright /lit/, so I wrote my first major piece and it came really sluggish and laboriously to me.
I struggled with it for nearly 2 years, including pauses, and while I like the narrative pretty much I think the story line is total bullshit. But I read the parts so often, I lost my view for it.
Now I want to know how much of a pile of crap it is. Thing is, I ain't got no one to read it.
Long story short, please recommend communities where you share your written pieces and get them roasted.
post it in the critique thread

smashwords

It's fifty thousand words long

Post it here in segments and get roasted by us
Or take it to reddit and get roasted by them
At this point there are only two options
Is it literary or genre?

OP here. Is there any way to answer this question on /lit/ that won't end up in complete mayhem?

I had more of a community in mind, not a bunch of wilds that will ravage each other over stuff like they guy above mentioned. I'm sure there are nice guys here, interested in constructive critique. Most will fuck up the topic though.

Reddit communities are great once you get involved. The regulars are much better at critique, but if they think you're a fly-by you'll be less likely to get their attention.

I feel disinclined to help you now that I know you think we're not good enough.
Take your questions to google, no one here needs you
(its not like we're desperate for new material to read anyway...)

Don't get sore from honest talk. You know as much as I do that this board is, by nature, full of douchebags. By admitting that I will save myself and those willing to help a lot of time and nerves.
If it's genre I'm sure the autistic fellows in the sci-fi/fantasy general would read some

Don't be a pussy. Some of the best advice I've ever gotten has been the most biting. Writers, introverts we are, can get really narcissistic about our ideas, and sometimes need a smack in the mouth.

It ain't sci-fi and it ain't fantasy. It's fiction and it's as literary as I was able to make it.

This is not about biting, it's about watering down the topic with shit talk. But I am willing to give it a try. Can't lose anything but time I reckon.
