Seriously, I really need feedback from anyone who sees this journal. So, I've been thinking about starting up a club to host my Secret Santa on, but also a club that involved other writing year round. It wouldn't necessarily be a showcase club where you submit a piece every week. It would be more focus on encouraging new writings and getting critiques. Here's the very outline of my idea:

There would be four main events hosted in the club:
1. The Secret Santa, of course
2. Critique Week - once a month there will be a whole week where the club accepts pieces for serious critique
3. Monthly Theme - every month a new theme will be posted for writers to write about and submit to the club (something vague like "snow" or whatever)
4. Writer Spotlight - every week, alternating between a poety and a prose writer, one of the members would be chosen at random for a little piece about them and their work

(During the Secret Santa I'm not sure if the other three events should continue or not...)

Basically submissions would have to fit within these parameters. The reason I think that this should happen is because members may be more likely to ignore club submissions if it becomes something of a showcase, especially during Critique Week.
Also, to keep everything running smoothly, I'd like to have an admin assigned certain event(s) so questions are more easily answered and it isn't a whoever-says-not-it-last. However, no one admin would have to post anything beyond maybe twice a month. That way no one would get overwhelmed with their tasks.

What do you guys think? Of the events? Are there any others you would like to see in a writing club? Do you see any potential problems (I KNOW there are some out there, but this is just a rough idea right now)? Would you join a writing club that did something like this?
