I have not - I'm interested in exposure as much as feedback, so was hoping there was an online way. I mentioned Authors Den (authorsden.com), which lets you post your fiction for people to read (it's targeted at, self-proclaimedly of course, authors, readers, and publishers) and gives stats on viewers per page/piece. It seems like a decent venue, but the free version only lets you post a couple of things... I have considered a group tho - have you had luck with them?<br></br>

I think people read but I have no idea if anyone has actually read the whole thing or if they've just stopped in occasionally and read whatever chapter was up at the time. I really wish someone would read it and tell me what they really think. I could so use a critical review. Blogger has a stats tab on my dashboard and it says I get visits, just not much feedback. I guess it's good that they seem to keep coming back.</div>
