Would a category to publish works or to request feedback be helpful?

+6
−0

Aside from the challenges category, it crossed my mind that it'd be nice to have a place where people can share works for feedback (or just to share). For instance, if I've put together a short story or an article, it'd be nice to have a place to submit for review by other writers, or to just have a place where I can keep essentially a "portfolio" of works available online (here).

This might need a new license option; one where people cannot share the content or derivatives of it (full copyright), or at the very least CC BY-NC-ND.

Would other people find such a category, where people can share their work - for either feedback or just to publish - useful? Are there any other considerations besides for copyright that need to be taken into account?

For feedback before submitting elsewhere for publication, need to consider that some publishers won't accept anything that's been "previously published". We can restrict visibility of a category to people with accounts to keep stuff out of Google, but it'd mean you wouldn't be able to usefully share links with random people. It'd be good to think through those use cases. (We can't currently restrict on a post-by-post basis.)

Why here and not any of the other places that were specifically designed and programmed for this function? It is not like these facilities don't already exist. What would be new or different or useful about doing it here?
