KayDee here, a short story writer, a poet, and a professional Dumb****. I'm painfully new here, so I'm getting the feel of the land. Is it okay to say ****? What kind of stories do you people like? Why is my eyebrow itchy?

Gee, I don't think you can say ****...

Ah well, the site loves me then. ^_^

Hello KayDee, Welcome to the Writing Forums.

If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners. Remember to check out our FAQ (http://www.writingforums.org/faq.php) as well, and be sure to read through the forum rules (http://www.writingforums.org/showthread.php?p=101625#post101625), too, to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Respect for one another is our principal mandate.

As for the Review Room, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize reviewing as a critical writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. The Review Room forums on this site, therefore, are true workshops, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work (and on that note, please only post each item for review in one Review Room forum). See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? (http://www.writingforums.org/showpost.php?p=65432&postcount=1) for more information.

Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!

Hello there, KayDee! I'm new here, too :)

I like stories with monsters in them, 'cause I'm just a little kid like that. What kinds do you like?

I enjoy all sorts. If it's well written and has a quirky character, I'm there.

I also like stories from the perspective of animals. One's with squirrels can be quite entertaining. :p

Thanks! What kind of socks am I rocking? I must know my audience before I can continue to perform.
