What Creativity Sites Do You Like and Why Are They Good?
What creativity sites (so, writing, art, music creation, acting, craft, anything to do with creativity) do you know of and like? Why do you like them? Who would you recommend them to?
I like
http://www.notebookinhand.com because it’s for all ages, covers all aspects of creativity no matter what it is, and requires a certain level of intelligence in the members- those who type like idiots do not survive. It also has *locked* sections for your writing, which means you don’t lose your first publication rights if you’re posting it up for critique. It also runs a webcomic, does stuff for charity, and has competitions. And it’s small enough that you quickly get to know the other members, and also they’re wanting to welcome you.
http://www.nanowrimo.org – very good for writers of all ages and levels of talent who need instant help- If it’s September- December. The rest of the year it’s quite quiet but still useful.
http://www.deviantart.com -post up your art and get critiques, and you can sell your art.
http://monthlymuse.boardzero.com/forum.html Just joined this one, it seems like it will be good for critiques, and it’s nice to join a brand new forum and get it going.
http://www.etsy.com – if you’ve got craft to sell. They have good forums too.

I love deviantart!
I’ve always love photography and writing so I check that website every now and then to inspire myself and appreciate the artworks of other deviants.
I also like the design of the website, the way the thumbnails are positioned and the way posts are sorted.
It’s also good to know that in that site, most people/members are similar to you and you all share the same interests.
Lastly, most comments make sense, hee hee! (unlike in other sites)
There are a lot of things that i like about deviantart.
nice question, by the way.
