What is the ফ্যানপপ Writer's Group?
It's a group of ফ্যানপপ users who are committed to writing, sharing, reading, discussing and critiquing their work. At a minimum, this involves a monthly session (though it could be twice monthly). Each session involves the following:
1) One member starts the পরবর্তি session দ্বারা starting a new ফোরাম thread labeled "Fanpop Writer's Group session X" (where X is the পরবর্তি session number). In that thread's initial message, the user posts prompts for different kinds of writing, then sends messages to the members of the group to notify them that the পরবর্তি session has started.
2) Writers then have a week to write something based on one অথবা আরো of the prompts, অথবা can write something else.
3) The writers post their লেখা to the লেখা club within that week. If the লেখা is পোষ্ট হয়েছে elsewhere in the club, the writer will make sure to post a link to its location in the ফ্যানপপ Writer's Group ফোরাম thread.
4) Writers then read all the submissions for that session, and can discuss what they're read in the ফোরাম thread.
5) Writers then provide their critical responses to the লেখা submission for that session, as মতামত in the ফ্যানপপ Writer's Group ফোরাম thread, অথবা in the মতামত thread for the particular piece (if it was পোষ্ট হয়েছে elsewhere). Such responses are পোষ্ট হয়েছে before the end of the সেকেন্ড week of the session.
6) The user who পোষ্ট হয়েছে the session then chooses the user to start the পরবর্তি session from any volunteers.
Why a Writer's Group?
As discussed in link, writing, reading, discussion and critical analysis are all vital to improving our writing. We've got a club for লেখা here, so let's use it!
Posting your writing
When আপনি post your লেখা in the club, if it isn't in the current session's ফোরাম thread, it should be labeled "fanpop writer's group", the current year, and the session number. This way people can find your লেখা আরো easily later. After you've পোষ্ট হয়েছে it, make sure to add a link in the current session's ফোরাম thread. If আপনি post your লেখা directly into the ফোরাম thread, please provide a শিরোনাম অথবা other way to distinguish your লেখা from the other মতামত in the thread.
Reading others' writing
Whether অথবা not আপনি post লেখা for a particular session, please read the submissions that are পোষ্ট হয়েছে and discuss them in the ফোরাম thread for the current session. When আপনি discuss অথবা have প্রশ্ন about a particular piece, please make sure to refer to the piece দ্বারা its title, to be clear which আপনি mean.
Critiquing others' writing
When আপনি read লেখা from the ফ্যানপপ User's Group, collect your impressions first before submitting them as comments. Try to be thorough, and talk about what worked for you, what didn't work for you, and what suggestions আপনি have for the লেখক when আপনি post your critique. Avoid abuse অথবা purely emotional responses. "I like it" and "I hated it" are equally useless in helping an লেখক improve his/her writing. Explain why আপনি liked it, অথবা what আপনি hated about it. Don't attack the author, either: আপনি are critiquing the writing, not the writer. Try to use words that talk about your reaction to the piece, rather than absolute judgments of the work. "I think this is a terrible cliché" is much better than "This is a terrible cliché", though even better would be to explain why it seems like a terrible cliché to you.
Receiving critiques
What আপনি have written is not you. So any critiques আপনি receive are about your writing, and should not be taken personally. If আপনি find yourself having a strong emotional reaction to a particular piece of critique, step back and consider that the person is not intending to slight you, but provide feedback on your লেখা so that আপনি can get better. That is to say, the critiques are trying to help you.
Further notes
Participation in the ফ্যানপপ Writer's Group is voluntary, but if আপনি are a committed writer, আপনি are asked to "sign up" দ্বারা putting your name in a মতামত to this article, and to encourage other writers আপনি know on the site and elsewhere to participate.
Signing up in this way does not commit আপনি in any way beyond your word that আপনি plan to participate in the writing, পাঠ করা and discussion. If your name is on the list, আপনি will get a message from another user when the পরবর্তি prompt is posted, and when the reviewing round begins for each session. Participants will also see your name and may expect to see your লেখা and critiques.
আপনি can ask to remove your name at any time if your circumstances অথবা intent changes. However, if আপনি do still want to be listed but are unable to participate in all অথবা part of a particular session, PLEASE make sure to notify the group in the ফোরাম thread, something like "Sorry guys, I've got a family emergency and won't be able to discuss this week" অথবা "I'm going on vacation to Argentina for a month, so I'm going to miss this পরবর্তি session, but I'll be back after that."
Anyone can participate, whether অথবা not they are listed as "members" of the লেখা group. If আপনি post লেখা for the writer's group, আপনি should discuss and critique at least three other submissions that session (ie, it's not OK to post লেখা and then ignore everyone else's writing, unless আপনি are unable to read and respond - see the পূর্ববর্তি paragraph).

inch দ্বারা inch
bringing me closer
to my doom
প্রজাপতি of
anticipation
flutter nervously
in my stomach
knuckles whiten
jaws clench
what have I
gotten myself into
the suspense
is killing me
I'm going to hate it
I'm going to প্রণয় it
I might lose my lunch
but I don't care
heaven help me
here it comes...
...
I hold my breath...
...
and then
I scream
my stomach
drops
my breath
is stolen
my heart
is pounding
adrenaline
courses
through
my veins
amid screams
of sweet terror
I fling up
my hands
and ride on
the wings
of Thrill!

This is dedicated to my first real বাস্কেটবল coach. She taught me not just how to play basketball, but how to be part of a team. I have so much respect for her and I know I should thank her everyday for helping me fall in love. For Coach Joy.
