What is the best site to put your stories on a get reviewed, etc?
I've heard of fictionpress, worthy of publishing and protagonize. Are there any better ones than that?
Also, if i were to put my story on one of these sites, could i still try and publish it if i wanted?
Thanks 
emo, many publishers consider posting your work on a site open to the public to be publication and will not consider its purchase because of that (including if you have removed it). I would do it only on work I chose to give away.
If you want feedback without publishing online, you need to post it at a members-only site protected by a password. http://absolutewrite.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=88 is one such site. The Share Your work boards for critique are separated by genre, and the members' input is often really insightful.

Jango Fett's Slave | (7153) Review
Iso9001 and Management Review
In the context of ISO9001 Management Review has a particular meaning that is continued into the newest 2008 variant of the standard. It directly relates to the review of management systems performance and the chances for developing long term improvement. But this review is just one of several other review requirements documented in the standard, with additional review activities being a natural extension of the business management process.
Reviews are conducted routinely by business managers for all manner of purposes, and have the common characteristic of being purposeful and structured with clear decision making as an outcome, based on the review objectives.
All too often auditors perceive that the ISO9001 Management Review has been conducted as a formality with the only clear objective being to keep the record of the review straight and visible for audit. A clear lack of what the standard calls 'commitment'.
A similar requirement, to inspect product design activity, taken up at the beginning (or even prior to beginning) of a project, and then at specifically planned stages throughout the design process has an totally different response. These reviews are typically conducted in a manner designed to minimize the risk of failure through the identification and categorisation of risk elements, leading to the development of a robust design strategy. Contributions to the review process are generally widely sought, and the review output well documented, with subsequent actions being similarly reviewed.
We have therefore two reviews, both forming part of the ISO9001 system requirement, each supposedly conducted by managers having the authority and competence to assess and decide, but markedly different in content and application. Admittedly the above is a generalized assessment, but is so frequently typical as to be worthy of further assessment. For those who care about these issues the question must be - what is different about the method and content of the two inspection scenarios?
I believe the 'secret' of their difference lies in the nature of the participants. For the mandated ISO Management Review the participants almost inevitably see this review as a hurdle to be jumped in the cause of registration. Consequently the participants - if they can't avoid the review will attempt to minimize the pain of preparation conduct and outcome. They achieve this through a process of abdicating responsibility. The responsibility of understanding the real purpose of the review; of adequately preparing for the review; and by delegating responsibility for the outcome to those they see as their nominee for both the process, and the system at large. Consequently within those organisations we find a 'Head of Quality' being the driver to set up and manage the inputs and outputs for the review, and the same individual continually at odds with the management of the company regarding their commitment to 'quality'.
Design reviews - and similar review activities within the Operations area, are markedly different. In the first place they take place because managers believe the review to be a necessary part of successful project planning. Next the staff who participate have an interest in a successful outcome to the process, and make a contribution that is recognized and valued.
Clearly for any review to be useful and successful a combination of ability - (whether managerial or technical) - and interest is essential. The actual parties involved have to be convinced of the benefits coming from their efforts and there has to be some 'additional value' from conducting the inspection. In most situations the ISO management inspection is not perceived as a useful utilisation of management time, beyond the required retention of registration objectives.
Is there a solution to this problem, or is there indeed a problem? For the purist, who sees the implementation of the ISO standard as an adoption of both the letter and the spirit of the standard as the only way, then clearly there is a problem. For those who would say that business managers should decide how they wish to implement and manage the standard, as they can and do for other aspects and requirements, there is no problem provided the same managers actually understand what they can but don't do, and the implications of their decision. Key to this understanding in many if not most organisations is the Head of Quality/Quality Manager (which they aren't) who implicitly connive with management to achieve a review process that could with little extra effort actually have some value. It is this organizational position that adds little real value and could with advantage be eliminated.
Quality means doing things well.
