Hi All, I used to be a member on Authorstand, but the site recently closed down. Many of the Authorstand homeless writers emigrated to another not-to-be-named site. Although this new site was OK, it doesn't have the vibrant forums as this site appears to have, so I came here. Rob.
Hi, RobertGMoons, and welcome to the forum! Please read the New Member Quick Start Guide, participate, and have fun. I confess I've never heard of Authorstand. I hope you find what you're looking for here.
I'm sad to hear of any community of writers folding up. A diverse community of communities is good for everyone, and I myself belong to a few different writing groups. Welcome to ours.
Welcome. I've been trying out a number of different writing forums, but I seem to visit this one the most. I like the alerts I get in the corner whenever I visit, and I like the medals people get when they win writing contests. I don't see that on other forums. It's kind of neat. Hopefully this forum will stick with you too.
