About this community
Work in progress, shown before it's ready. A place to bring your questions, share something you are working on and learn from another point of view. Start with a thoughtful introduction and take the conversation from there.
Who manages it
Ines OyelaranHost
Started this room after one too many good conversations got lost in a group chat.
Leila MatsudaModerator
Keeps the feedback channel honest and the tone kind. Usually replies first.
The rules
Say the useful part
A specific question gets a specific answer. “The second act drags” helps more than “thoughts?”, and it is easier to reply to.
Critique the work, not the person
Everyone here is showing something unfinished. Be the kind of reader you would want for your own rough cut.
Bring the thing you are talking about
Tag the book, link the scene, attach the frame. A recommendation with a reason is worth ten without one.
Post it where it belongs
Introductions in #introductions, work-in-progress in #feedback. It keeps every channel worth opening.
No promotion without participation
Sharing your own work is welcome. Arriving only to advertise it is not, and is the one thing that gets a post removed.
