I've been looking for a place to call home since my old forums went belly-up. I'm hoping this place will be the one. I've heard vaguely that the people here at WF.org are friendly, so I made the long and perilous journey over to take a look. So, hey everybody! You'll probably be seeing a lot of me...!
Welcome to the forum Milady! People are pretty friendly here, and if not a little quirky also. I won't name any names though. I can assure you though that you will make friends fast. Look, you've made one already!
Hello Milady, I hope that you do get to call this place home. Don't be shy about asking anyone for help, we'd all be glad to help you.
Hello Milady, Welcome to the Writing Forums. I think we're a pretty friendly lot, and we make every attempt to maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect. 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 as well! 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!
Hi, guys. Thanks for the welcome! Sorry I was gone for a few hours... But from what I can see, everything I was told was right. Nice to meet you all!
