I’m looking for sites that criticize writing of any sort, and give criticism in this format:

Words go here. (This is really plain and boring, it needs more action to it. Also, “words” is really cliche).

It’s specialized, but you can try the [Critters[sup]TM[/sup] Workshop](http://www.critters.org/)

This thread is amusing in its directness, but you can’t dance to it.

Um, if we’re talking fairly short (which I somehow doubt) just post it here in CS and you should get a few decent comments.
