Urbis is a site where you can submit your writings and get reviewed by other writers.
I posted some of my "quotes" and here is the review I got.
This is from a 39yr old history teacher:
"I find it impossible to believe you are the author of all of this. A few google searches show that much of this is posted in several places on the Internet and attributed to several others. Are we to believe you are the author of it all, that even though your language is so precise and your insight so piercing, you need the feedback from amateurs on a place like this to know that what you’ve got here is good? Here’s a quote for you. Plagiarism sucks."
The "several authors" are, of course,
all me, under various internet pseudonyms
(unless someone is plaigerizing me, lol). This may be the best review I ever got.  IP: Logged |

Well, he's got a point here:"though your language is so precise and your insight so piercing, you need the feedback from amateurs on a place like this to know that what you’ve got here is good?" a mystery... IP: Logged |
