Back in college, I took a few fiction writing courses. I really enjoyed the format of the class--we'd write our short stories, and then all get together in a group for a critique, where everyone, students and professor, would give constructive criticism. Everyone was honest in their reviews, and didn't sugar coat anything, but they weren't needlessly harsh, either.
It seems like most of the places I've found on the web look down on constructive criticism in favor of the "oh, you're so GOOD!" approach, which is sweet, but completely unhelpful. I'd really like to find a workshop, group, whatever on the web with good writers who are able to give meaningful feedback. Any ideas? Thanks.:)
