Post your pagan SYW links here!

Let's start up a page where if you are so inclined you can post a link to your pagan-themed work in SYW for crits.

I'm sure we happy few, we merry band of helpful pagans would love to read our forum members' stuff!

What qualifies? Are blog posts allowed, or do they need to be full on writing samples?

The original intent was for writers who frequent the Pagan forum to post links to their stuff in SYW.

This way other pagan writers can go and take a look, critique, beta, etc., etc., et cetera
It is a way for writers with pagan themes to connect here. There isn't really a blogging area in SYW, but if you haven't been by I'd suggest a quick perusal of the AW writing lab -- cool stuff!
All styles and genres are covered.
Cheers.

Ah, so you mean for it to be posted not here, but in the SYW forum itself. That clears up what goes where.

Wow, this thread's a little dusty. Well, I hope I can get some responce. I've recently written a prompt for an anthology that mixes fantasy with winter holidays. As you've probably guessed, I have chosen the holiday of Yule.

This is my first Pagan piece and I'd love for this to be a piece that lets everyone see the beauty of Yule that I see. And imput from other Pagans might be just the thing this piece needs. I'd love for the Pagan community on the board to give me some help.

Thank you so much for the edits, both of you! The story looks so much more polished now. I've posted the rewrites on the thread if you want to give it a read.
