Where do you go to get feedback on your work? I've been writing a bunch of comic scripts I want to make but feel like family and friends are a biased source for getting critique and all the actual writing forums I know of are just unhelpful circlejerks.

Me being a more critical friend: you all's smartass answers aren't that helpful ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

If anyone does know of a good writing critique forum, share it because I'd like to see one as well. It'd be pretty great if there was a writing equivalent of the ConceptArt forums.

Something Awful has Creative Convention, a general 'creative pursuits' board for posting stuff.  Your mileage may vary on how helpful it is, and something like comic script outlines might be difficult to convey to a general audience.  (Mostly what I've seen there is writing and art, but some people have posted Youtube videos and other stuff.)

Aside from that, there's not a whole lot aside from if you know people who are also into whatever particular medium you're working in.  Usually, those people are the most willing to give frank and helpful feedback, since they've probably got a better sense of what's good/bad in comics compared to, say, your sister.

Terrible things critiqued with enthusiasm?

Feel free to kick it my way and I can assist. Notes may or may not include requests for more speed metal.

Hey, just wanted to make sure people got my PMs: The outbox has been acting janky for me lately.

Bonus metal!

No worries! No rush: The PMs didn't show up in my sent folder so I just wanted to make sure they got through.

SMF is weird about this. go to profile > account settings > personal messaging and check the box next to "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default".
