Where can I find good writing communities online?

Question

I used to be a member of Concentricus.com, but it no longer exists. Concentricus was a combination writing community/ezine, and there was a thriving forum, as well as the ability to vote and review each item that was published to the site. Publishing took place on a bi-weekly basis. I've tried several writing communities, and I haven't found anything that is as supportive or which has the quality of writing that concentricus did. I just signed up for Writer's Cafe, and it's ok. We'll see how good it is after I've used it for a while. I've also used, in the past: deviantart, writing world, and the poetry board on sparknotes.com.

Does anyone have any suggestions for active, supportive writing websites with decent quality work? I write both prose and poetry and occassionally some review or opinions, but I'm mostly looking for help with poetry.

Thanks!

Try one of my writing groups -- [e-mail] -- it may give you some of what you want.

It's been going for a long time, and the people have changed so much that it is most English poets now.

But, go through the yahoo groups for writers / poetry and I'm sure you can find active groups. These groups are very good because you give and receive constructive criticism.

Answer 2

I've posted poetry on poetry.com before, but I wasn't aware that I was entering a contest! So I recieved a certificate in the mail saying that I was entered into the bigger contest. That wasn't what I wanted! I just wanted to post poetry. Now, I don't know if there is another way to use that website or what.
You can also go to helium.com
that's an online forum for any kind of article you could think of!!
Good luck!!!
