Hmm, I believe the private crit groups serve the same purpose, though I have no idea what happened to those. If they're anything like the roleplaying forum.....
Yes there are crit groups here but I had no idea who had joined them and all that showed interest in them had left the forum, there was a post put up about them saying they had started up and all that had to be done was a pm to myself or to Lpspider. But no one had actually noted who had joined and the interest soon died down in them. I am sure that if there are people here still interested in joining in the private crit groups that they will be able to do so. Just simply contact Lpspider via pm in regards to the groups. Take care all and goodluck. Ariella
