I wrote a short piece about a storm and submitted it on italki Notebooks. I received a correction within 5 minutes which was really helpful. [I also wrote a correction for a piece in English in return.] Lang-8 has closed for new registrations, but italki Notebooks seems to do the same thing. It is free to use and the feedback appears to be generally fast, within a few minutes.
