Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I completely agree with Jessica's comment about not publishing anything on the net without ensuring you have copyright!. This is actually quite easy to do (datestamp and mail your work to yourself, get it notarised etc!.) and you should do so before sending material to potential publishers!.
In the meantime, try to find a friend, teacher or someone else whose opinion you trust!. What about your local librarian!? Is there a book club in your area - I bet they'd be thrilled if you asked them!.!. If the stories are for boys, how about approaching a local school and asking if you could read aloud in assembly or to one of the English classes!.!. maybe make up some feedback forms to take along!? Feel free to contact me if I can help in any way further!.
Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do not recommend that you post your work on sites that are public
There are people out there who will steal your story and ideas!. also, publishers will not publish, or even look at, a story that has been posted on the internet because someone could have taken your idea and/or story!.
It's better to find someone you know and let them read your story!. Do you have a brother, sister, or friend that will honestly critique your work!? If not, find someone online that you trust, and just email them your story!.
But no matter what, DO NOT post your work publically on the internet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are interested to find out how good of a writer you are!. I think the best place would be this site!. It lets you post a paragraph of the beginning of the book and people vote on it!. If you go up!. You are ok!. if you go down!. Bye bye Charlie!. The link id http://fictionthis!.comWww@QuestionHome@Com

Try www!.critiquecircle!.com
In order to get critiques here, you have to critique other stories and build up points!. Then you have to pay points to post one of your stories to critique (kind of like in Yahoo! Answers)!. I think it's a good system!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
