This group is sadly silent, but I don't know if that means inactive. I am hoping that when I post these challenge pieces you look at them and maybe try them out. I also hope that if you get stuck or have a question that you will ask me (MagicalJoey )
Don't be afraid to participate. Try things you haven't. Give it a go. You never know what talents might emerge.
We only have two admins. If you would like to be an admin and help teach people note MagicalJoey and we can see where things stand. This is just a case of passing along any skills or strengths you may have in critiquing pieces. So whether you are only 'good' at one thing or have many skills consider joining the team to teach whomever wishes to learn.
Encourage your friends to join. Encourage people who critique your work to join.
ONLY ONE RULE
This is a LITERATURE critique group.

Wolves in the Forest31-10-15
“Promise me your firstborn and you’ll live. Deny my and you die tonight!” Jeremy jumped as a harsh voice spoke out to him from the forest surrounding the lake, his retreat from the ever too prominent problems of his world.
“Perhaps I wouldn’t mind dying tonight. It is as beautiful night as any.” There was an intake of breath – this was not going according to plan – before the voice continued.
“Come away from the edge and dry your feet darling, you are meant for better things,” the voice turned seductive. “Remove those nasty rocks from your pockets and come inside to the warm fire. We can discuss things – your life is going to turn around you know, just give it time. I know these things – I have seen these things happen!” There was a panicky edge to the voice and it came closer, seemingly.
“Yeah right.” Jeremy took another step into the lake, the rocks weighing as heavily on h

Little Zombie BoyLittle Zombie Boy
28-10-15
There was a little zombie boy who used to follow me.
He was always there, beyond the glass, he wouldn’t let me be.
He’d gnaw on brains of residents, and dear old mom and dad,
Until my little teenage brain was all he’d never had.
I stood alone, locked away, slowly skeletising,
Watching my little zombie prince prioritising
Bringing brains for me to chomp and gnaw –
Offerings left each day at my door.
One day the door caved in, the brains had rotted through the wood,
And I picked up the freshest brain and wondered if I should
Eat it now and put on fat, be like I used to be,
Who we are’s not what we eat – or else I’d be beef.
When the door fell down the boy rejoiced, out there in the cold,
For how he had a path to me, a clear path to behold.
Slowly he stomped towards me; two steps forward, three steps back,
Looking all the while as if he was on crack.
He pointed to the brain in hand, and made a noise like
Please do make an effort to bring people in. This group could really help people if you, and they, give it a chance.

Welcome to 2018
I hold on to hope for this group, even though it has been silent for a long time. I hold on to hope that people still come and try critique the challenge pieces and that they will ask questions if they need help or get stuck and not just give up. Hope is feeble and fickle, but it can be the difference between life and death sometimes.

Critique Workshop 2.0 - Promotion
Now that the greeting is out of the way, I can tell you why you are here. Yes, I know why you are here...I'm clever like that you see. You are here to participate in the Prose Critique Workshop 2.0. Why 2.0 you ask? Simple - this is a follow on from the Workshop held in May by akrasiel (https://www.deviantart.com/akrasiel) and hosted by theWrittenRevolution (https://www.deviantart.com/thewrittenrevolution) . I am still waiting on tWR to let me know if I can host this through them, but in any event it needed a journal so here we are. You want more information you say? Read on grasshoppers and ladybugs, read on.
If this was you regarding the first Workshop...well, then you didn't read or were afk or possibly living in a hole in

So, you may or may not have noticed a 'change' in founder - this isn't really a change at all! I am still the same person ( MagicalJoey (https://www.deviantart.com/magicaljoey) ) this is just an alternate account. I moved the group to this account's control because I needed to open up a gap for another group I joined as admin on my main account (I can only be an admin in 10 groups as a core member, three as a 'normal' member). So, that said, nothing has changed drastically at all.
This group is sadly silent, but I don't know if that means inactive. I am hoping that when I post these challenge pieces you look at them and maybe try them out. I also hope that if you get stuck or have

I'll definitely get involved here now that October's activities are mostly finished. I'm still re-writing my October Contest story for the 7 November deadline. Other than that, I'm simply catching up with all other things dA, and life.
I'll have a go at promoting this group among my small but active gathering of dA friends!
