Hi indie.
I think you should know that opencity blogspot "accept " all and any old tat "as is" because it is an open site by definition. You may find that some of the critics who frequent serious crit on this site are a little dismissive of such apparently laissez faire posting, and that is all it is, on opencity.
This is not to say there is a lack of good work on the blog but you risk disappearing into obscurity if you believe there is any merit in being an undistinguished fish in a pool open to the sea.
By all means defend your work by reasoned arguement but please be cautious of intimating that you gain valid kudos by posting on an open sight with the illusory praise of "acceptance"
This site is for those who seek improvement, not the glorification of mediocrity masquerading as clique.
Best.,
Tevtak
