    Good Evening/Day

    I am happy to have stumbled upon what seems like a very active community of writers all in one place. Myself, I have always written small things to amuse myself and to fill in time when I didn't have something to read. Lately I have decided to work harder and commit more time to working on a longer and fuller story/novel. I am not sure that I would like to get published but I will enjoy the challenge of a longer narrative.

    I read everything I can get my hands on, almost exclusively fiction though. I really enjoy Mystery, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Particularly fond of authers like Kelly Armstrong, L.E Modesitt Jr and Laurell K Hamilton. I am also a huge fan of well written stories in Video Games. I always get a thrill of playing through a stunningly enrich environment with a story to match. Particularly enjoyable are most of the story lines created by the developer BioWare.

    I look forward to getting to know the community here and having a good time talking about creating those wonderful stories.

    Welcome to Writing Forums, Brennan!

    I hope you find what you're looking for here, whatever your interests in writing.

    This forum aims to provide the best workshopping resources on the internet, and to that end we have a few rules which you should familiarise yourself with before you get stuck in. The main section of the site is the Writing Workshop, where members can post their writing in order to receive critique of their work.

    However, before we allow members to post their work, they must have met some basic requirments. Firstly, you must have been a member for fourteen days, and have made twenty posts on the forum overall (please note, posts in Word Games do not count towards this). This is so that members, when they post their work, have familiarised themselves with the forums and contributed to them (as well as hopefully learned something for themselves). Secondly, members must provide two constructive reviews of other people's work for each piece of their own that they wish to post. This is because we believe that the focus of workshopping should be equally upon giving reviews as receiving them, as they allow a writer to practice and improve their editing skills, which they can then apply to their own writing.

    Beyond the Writing Workshop, you will find that we have extensive forums for discussion of aspects of writing, as well as a community area for general discussion. We also run periodic short story and poetry contests, which are good for challenging yourself and expanding your skills.

    If you have any questions or problems, then the moderators (myself, Cogito, Lemex and Dante Dases) should be your first port of call. Any technical problems with the site itself should be directed to Daniel, the site administrator and owner. I would recommend you have a look over the rules so that you know what to expect, and what is expected. But aside from that, I hope you enjoy your time here.
