TopShelf TG Fiction in the BigCloset!
So, this is killing me. I've written almost 40,000 words and twenty chapters of the book and I'm dying to get some feedback. But posting it here didn't go so well.
I've thought of simply sending out a PDF of the rough draft to some readers interested in just reading. No proofing or editing, just a read through for some feedback.
Does that work for anyone?

Proof/support readthrough
I have read the saga so far, and would be glad to give it a look. It might be easier to absorb in one go, instead of serialized. That might be why you haven’t gotten the desired feedback to date.
Let me know!

You already
know where I stand. I would love to read the rest of the novel.

is too good to walk away from .please continue it .
Maybe it might spark something
Hey, this could be very informal. It also could be a book length document shared for feedback.
The beauty of this is that it isn't made yet and the actual parameters for a TG writer's feedback group could be decided by consensus.
I ramble so I presented the points for a concept that might work but it was not meant to take away the liberty of authors that might want to participate to create something that would work for them.
This doesn't exist yet and may never exist. It's meant to be a starting point for discussions to make a group. As such I've removed the details since the writers would need to create a structure that worked for them if a feedback group were created.
Thank You for your suggestion
This is a very interesting concept and reminds me of a writer’s group. I just left one after five years to dedicate myself to just writing longer stories that didn’t fit your suggested format. Thank You

Sound idea
TG authors are seldom comfortable joining a 'vanilla' writers' group, but can use the Internet to meet people with shared interests. I already do something very similar, courtesy of the group that Chris Archer set up back in, er... 2017?
What I appreciate about your post is that is makes a distinction between writers and readers; workshopping-type feedback is far more valuable than reader comments. I think the proposed approach is far more 'mechanistic' than anything I'd like, but you do you.
