That a strange wanderer came from afar- the vast wastelands that could be seen as the internet- to explore the world of grandiloquent forums in which he could perhaps gather friends and perhaps hone a mastery of the English language and truly find his style of writing. I'm Anomaly- or Alex if you prefer to call me by name. I thoroughly enjoy writing, as it seems to be an imaginative form of self-expression that typically leads to a wondrous and creative state of mind and provides for a release of all those strange ideas that pop into my head. This being said, I have been writing for quite awhile but of course am by no means a literary genius. I plan to hone my writing techniques and gather some feedback on my writing style. But on a completely separate note, I live for music and reading. Anything from Machiavelli to Frankenstein, from Classical to Heavy Metal I love (almost) all of it. Thus ends my short introduction. I hope I haven't bored you to death and turned you to stone or anything. That would be quite the terrible deed on my part... At any rate, I hope to see you all around the forums, -Anomaly
There are many wanderers in these lands and as I gaze my eye catches a strange creature. His name is Anomaly what being he may be I am not sure but, I can feel the pulse of energy emanating from him. Yes the imagination is strong with this one. hesitantly I say to him. "Welcome friend. I too am new but I pray we can learn from each other any way."
Welcome to Writing Forums, Anomaly! 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. Banzai
