Like everyone else I would like long in-depth discussions about craft.
I would *not* like a culture of teacher-student; that is, while I'd like to see people at various stages of their careers participating, I don't want lots of posts by published writers telling the unpublished how they do things, even if they're not prescriptive at all. I want to keep it a space where everyone feels free to participate and start threads.
I want a group where everyone believes (or at least follows, for the good of the group) the "there are nine and sixty ways..." lines.
I would like crit threads to be allowed, but I wouldn't like them to be the majority of posts. The 500-word limit is a good one, imo.
I think the group should probably be moderated to keep out spam and to stop any arguments before they get out of hand, but I don't want the moderator to forbid anyone from joining or to prevent excess crit threads or whatever.
