Propose of the group?

Hi John. Where did you get the suggestion to post a synopsis here? That's a possibility. Your options are listed below.

The purpose of this group is as you expected. It was intended to replace the Writing Tips & Advice forum in the old site. However, the groups here are in a bit of flux right now, since everything is new. I read in Premium that Sol is going to resurrect old-style forums on this new site. That's probably no easy undertaking, so it could take some time. Linda Lee created a group here called Old Forums as a limited workaround if you want to try it. Read the feedback there that's she's received as to whether you think it will work for you.

I had thought about deleting this group when I saw what Linda Lee created, thinking it might be enough for now, but Sol asked me to keep this open. He wants to post relevant material going forward. While there are only ten members of this group right now, everyone can read what's here, so more may join if they see any activity that they want to be a part of.

Feel free to post your writing questions here, and someone is bound to answer, regardless of whether they know what they're talking about. :-)  The old site's Writing Tips & Advice was invaluable to me when I first started writing, which is why I created a group for it here.

As for posting a synopsis, I would ask that question in the Premium group and see what the concensus is. If it's a synopsis about a sci-fi story, there's a group for sci-fi. Ditto for horror, fantasy, etc. You're also welcome to post it here. It would give us something to do. :-) Wherever you put it, if you're not getting enough feedback, drop a note in Premium asking for more input.

Which brings me to your last option. You can post it as a book/chapter in your own porfolio and see what feedback you get that way. Remember to set the genre correctly. As above, if you need more feedback, drop a note in Premium.

Hope that helps.
Dirk
