There are SUBGENRES
EX – in Spoken Word / Rhymes / Stories, the SUBGENRES are Spoken Word, and Rhymes.


IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CRITIQUE
If you are looking for a critique, you choose which SUBGENRE(s) fit your poem best. You then look at the list of critics. *You can read bios on each of the critics here - > [link]* (coming soon).
You then note the critic(s) of your choice with either a link to the poem (if on dA), or the poem in the text.
If there are no critics in your SUBGENRE you can send the critique request to the SUPERVISOR (scroll down) of that GENRE.

IF YOU ARE A CRITIC
If you are a critic, and would like to make yourself available to people looking for critiques, here’s what you do. You pick a GENRE, and a SUBGENRE. You send a note to the SUPERVISOR (scroll to SUPERVISORS) of the genre you wish to critique poems of. The note must be as fallows.
Subject: Joining Your Genre - Critic
Text Genre:
Subgenre:
Bio (30 words or less):

~Signature

The SUPERVISOR will then observe your page, the comments you leave, and the poetry you write. If the SUPERVISOR feels that you are a good critic for this SUBGENRE, then your note will be forwarded to the Head Supervisor, who will review the decision, and if they see fit, add you to the critic list for that SUBGENRE.
