 | Slash-related workshops 
 This is a short list of workshop-type environments I've found, mostly by doing keyword searches at 
Yahoo! Groups. If you have one that belongs here, let me 
know, because this list is by no means comprehensive. Not all of these lists are strictly 
workshops, but they all encourage constructive criticism. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Writers GuildThis site acts as a resource for slash and het writers. It includes a list of beta readers, character and 
genre "zones" and a host of other resources. Great idea.

 Racine StreetDescription:
 This group is for people who enjoy creating fan fiction related to the television series Due South. 
We read and post fiction, give and receive constructive criticism, and enjoy chatting about the show. 
We are primarily writers of gen fic, though writers of slash fic are most welcome. Personal flames 
will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Over 18 only, please.

 BtVS_Angel_Fanfic_BetaDescription:
 This group is for two kinds of people writers of BtVS or Angel fanfiction who want constructive 
criticism on their fics in order to improve; and people who LOVE reading that fanfiction and are 
willing to HELP these writers improve. To join, you must, at the very least, fit into the second 
category. The main function of this list is to provide a place where Buffy or Angel writers can get 
their fics beta read. So, do not join this group if you are not willing to critique people's works. 
If you're 
a lurker, this is not the group for you. If you join this list, you MUST at the very least provide 
constructive criticism on some of the fics posted here.

 LovofmeandtheeDescription:
 If you love Starsky and Hutch together, as partners, friends and/or lovers, this place is for you. If 
you DO NOT like reading, writing, or discussing slash (m/m) stories or issues pertaining to such, 
please DO NOT join. Hopefully, this will be a fun and educational list for all. One other thing - 
if you are not interested in improving as a writer, please don't join. Honest critiques of ALL 
stories are allowed and encouraged. No flames, no personal trashing allowed.

 Dreams_N_PrintDescription:
 Tired of 'boyband' fiction groups that are a clearing house for bad writing? If so welcome. Here, 
our focus will be improving our writing with real feedback and challenging topics. Writing samples 
MUST be submitted to join. Participation is somewhat expected. While we realize people have lives 
outside of the fiction world, we are all writers and enjoy reading others' work as much as reading 
comments on our own. We expect equal participation in the way of writing submissions and feedback. 
Slash, het, gen... we want to see it all. The only limit is that the fiction must be about one (or 
more) of the current groups. However, if you have another topic of fiction you'd like for us to read 
over and critique, please ask us -- we will more than likely say yes. ALL fiction must be labeled as 
far as genre and group focus. Warnings and/or templates are greatly appreciated.  If you are looking 
to improve your writing, looking for some of the best fiction on the web, or just looking for some 
real feedback on your work, this is the place for you. No archived fics, please. We're a workshop -- 
we want first dibs.

 Slash Writers WorkshopDescription:
 This list is dedicated to helping slash-writers become better writers. It provides a place for slash-writers, of any fandom, to present and discuss ideas, plot-lines, fragments, vignettes etc. Stories in alpha or beta condition are acceptable for posting, and will be considered open for comment and debate. This allows the writer to get some honest feedback on a story before posting it to the public lists and newsgroups.

 Fanfiction Critics AssociationThis is not so much a place to workshop your writing as it is to critically examine different aspects 
of fan fiction. But I'm including it anyway.
 Long TitleDescription:
 A Monkees fanfiction writers workshop, designed to provide constructive criticism and helpful 
feedback on any fanfiction stories submitted to the list. Story ratings range from G to R. No smut or 
slash allowed. Because of the constructive criticism workshop atmosphere of the list, YOU MUST BE 
18 OR OLDER TO JOIN. Come join the Monkee romps in the Long Title Library!)
 Note:
 This list does not allow slash, but I thought I'd include it anyway because it kept popping up on 
my travels.
