Best writing program I've ever used. It’s mac-only, but I’d have to mention WriteRoom.
Best writing program I’ve ever used.

I can't speak for Karen (the guest author of this post) but I try hard not to write up anything on this site that I haven't used, thus Scrivenir won't be getting much mention here (unless someone buys me a Mac...). But for what it's worth, people I respect love Scrivenir, so I assume it's worth raving about.

How have you missed Scrivener, one of the best writing tools out there with features and capabilities that will blow away most of the programs you listed. You should check it out ... and then come back to acknowledge the oversight and put it on the list where it belongs. To be clear, I'm an avid user and not the owner or developer.

It's for screenwriters but I've been using it to write my novels and stuff for some time now, and it has lots of interesting features. Not to mention it's free and works on Windows, Mac and Linux. :) I’d suggest Celtx.

Most importantly you control who has access. You can invite people to Review & Comment or to actually have the ability to edit. Of course the owner decides wheher the edits are incorporated into the work or not. The site of course wants you to use their services to self publish when you are finished. I'm not certain whether that interests me, but in the meantime I've a controlled environment where I can solicit feedback from peers and others and work at polishing my work without fear of it beinf exposed to the unwashed hordes of Internet users! Check it out. I think you'll see FastPencil's advantages. I discovered a great service called FastPencil.com It lets you post your work and sub-divide however you want (chapters, scenes).
