Put the first chapter of my comic high fantasy (tentatively titled Axes of Evil) up for critique and it was promptly shot down in flames. That's a good thing- it means our group isn't getting too soft on each other. I think I tried to hard to create a sympatheic character (a mistreated slave) and it either killed the humour or made it seem out of place. I think I'll rewrite it all so he's not so badly off.
I also submitted Touch Tone, my only mushy story, to the Writers Digest short story comp. Nothing to lose but the $US15 entry fee, and you still get a prize if you come twenty fifth!

Ouch! Glad to know the group isn't just there to give pats on the back, unlike a certain crit group I once belonged to. . .
:) Keep it up!
