The Original SFF.Net Critters Newsgroups
In addition to the new forums on www.NewNewForum.com that you can access here, Critters still enjoys the use of two newsgroups on the SFF.Net server; one group for serious writing/critiquing/workshopping questions, the other for anything and everything.
- A link to the orignal Critters writing-related discussion newsgroup is here. This newsgroup is linked to the new Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror workshop forum on www.NewNewForum.com, such that articles posted on one are shuttled to the other. You can read and post at either.
- A link to the Critters original 'anything goes' chat newsgroup, the Volcano Bar & Grill, is here. It is likewise linked to the new Volcano forum on www.NewNewForum.com,
- The Charters and FAQs for the newsgroups are here. Read before posting!
- Some instructions to get to the sff.net newsgroup are here. Read if you're having trouble connecting to the newsgroup.
