Thread for critiquing story, not hook

Are you allowed to start a thread for a story rather than a hook? I recently posted one for something I worked on (it's an alternate history called "Cuba Libre") And as soon as "A Knife In The Sand"(the Desert Song-inspired one) has continued beyond three pages and is polished enough, I'll start one for it too.

Generally, I don't think people post entire stories on here.

Not posting the entire thing just two or three pages. What I'd be worried about would be the characterisation and similar issues.

Why shouldn't people post stories in here? This is a writing critique forum, after all. Critiquing a story is far more useful (and easy) than critiquing a bare-bones summary.

I'm not saying there aren't good reasons not to post entire stories (such as copyright issues if you intend to get it published afterwards). I'm just saying that as far as I know, we have no policy against it.

I think AHR has been posting her graphic novel on here. I remember reading about halfway through and enjoying it, not sure if she posted the whole thing.

@Slendid Suit: I've got something on here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13417029080A95476900&page=1#3. Haven't got any comments. It's parts of a novel I'm writing.

Cool. I'm not really a critic, but I'll take a look and see what I think, when I have time.

There's no real reason that they shouldn't - in fact, I think you're much more likely to get good criticism of your work as a whole then you will of out-of-context fragments - but as a general rule, nobody does.

Yeah, my entire story is up, although once my current critiquer gets through it, I'll probably take it down, mostly so I can work on something submittable.

So yeah, on topic, you can make a thread to critique ANYTHING if you want to.

@Slendid Suit: Thanks. Hope you comment on the thread. It's basically Evita in Cuba.
