    Hello (again) :D

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Mercury, May 13, 2008.

    Hi there. I'm not a new member as such (was a mod for a short while when the site first started) but just thought I'd reintroduce myself as I've not used the site for over a year and intend to start doing so again. I'm looking forward to posting and reviewing short fiction, chatting in the lounge etc.

    So, will see you all around :D

    Hello Mercury, Welcome back to the Writing Forums.

    If you haven't explored the site recently, you should probably do so soon - a lot has changed since last you were here. 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 as well, and be sure to read through the forum rules, 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? for more information.

    Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
