What Next?
Which genres should I add workshops for next? The form below is for you to select which you'd most like to see. Eventually I'll probably add them all, but which first? (Bear in mind that these will all be entirely separate from Critters. Critters will remain SF/F/H only, and the others will operate under the name "Critique.org" on the www.critique.org site. For example, "Critique.org Mystery Writers Workshop." Each will be a workshop of its own, with its own members, own queue, and no points counting from one toward the other.)
Please rate the categories 0-10, with 10 being "most interested".
You can rate more than one a 10 (or other number). Zero is assumed if you don't enter a value. Thanks!
