The only proviso is that all discussions be kept mature and polite and Fun!
I would like to see a free exchange of ideas. Posting of story ideas is always welcome. Any Criticism should be well thought out & Constructive! For those interested in a more "dedicated" Critique group, please join The SciFi Writer's Critique Group!

I am dedicated to providing an outlet for author's creativity. On the List, I try to provide as many site resources as possible; whether it be for book lists, author bibliographies, web sites, hard to find books, creative writing aids, etc.
