Is it worthwhile to use online writing prompt communities to practice your writing? For now, I'm mainly just looking for people who'll read my shit and derive some nontrivial amount of enjoyment from it. 500-2000 words on average maybe a bit more if I happen to snatch a plot bunny. Meanwhile I'll just work to improve slowly but surely, one day at a time. I'm not terrible but I'm not particularly good either. So far I've gotten good feedback but the tone of the communities I'm using isn't based on criticism just people saying, "Loved it" or, "Update more." I'm considering getting into fanfiction just for more practice but I get the vibe I might be picking up bad habits by aiming too low.
