Do you want your poems or stories to have more exposure and perhaps get noticed by a publisher.
I am providing a list of on-line writing communities for everyone. I posted the same list over at http://writerscafe.org.

1. http://storywrite.com it is free but if you want to post pictures you must buy a silver or gold membership.

2. http://jabbertale.com is totally free.

3. http://writers-network.com

4. http://authorsden.com

5. http://hellopoetry.com is for poetry

6. http://fanfiction.com is just for fan fiction

7. http://fictionpress.com is for original poetry and fiction.

8 http://thenextbigwriter.com/ you must pay for if you want your story published. I recommend that you stay away from it.

9. http://booksie.com is totally free

10. http://wattpad.com is free.

11. http://writing.com is only free up to a point.

I am sure I have missed some of them, but these are only 11 that I know about.

Oh yes and 12, http://authorsnation.com is free.

http://fanstory.com is not free. It requires an $8.95 monthly membership and you may only post three stories a day. The members are very critic over there as they are over at http://thenextbigwriter.com
