Critics: Please read the guidelines for each forum and Leanne's opening post: lighter weight for Novice, the most you can give in Serious and Mild is somewhere in between.
Posters: Please remember that the workshop name is not a there as a comment on how we think of ourselves, but what level of critique we are interested in using. I know I am sometimes guilty of this, posting in Mild when I would love serious critiques only because I do not think of myself as a serious poet. I have seen some others do the same with Novice, then request more thorough critique.
If you are not sure if you have posted your piece in the appropriate forum feel free to PM a mod or admin for advice.
I think billy's idea for these divisions remains sound, is really not fair to new poster, as poet or critic, to confuse the line, it's nice to get what what you expect. Please consider this before posting.
Thanks for reading my mini-rant, I'll try harder if you will.
