    Er, hello!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Shalaesaes, Mar 25, 2012.

    I'll do my best not to blather on here. I tend to ramble. To start, I've been looking around these forums about a month, considering joining. Finally decided to at 1 am, when I seem to get most things done! I'm such a shameless night owl. It seems to worry the parents.

    Pretty much your average teenager here. I'm a country girl from rural America, who sometimes seems to prefer books to people - though I try hard not to seem like that too often. A bit of a gamer, and a bit of an artist, but my mainstay has and hopefully always will be reading. To a lesser extent, writing, though I am working hard to change that. Currently I'm working on a novel that's fairly dear to my heart - part fantasy, but sans magic, and dosing heavily on politics and false religion, most of it hand crafted when it comes to religion.

    The last thing I can think of is my username... Nobody seems to know how to take it! Heh. If you don't want to spell it out, feel free to call me Shal. It's an old character name I grew rather attached to, even though the character is long dead in some archives of some RP.

    Nice to meet ya'll. :)

    Hello. I also say 'ya'll'. Your novel sounds interesting.

    Ahah! I swear, I'm not from the south, but it's one of those things I picked up and never seem to drop. Though I've mostly stopped myself from saying "ain't". Oh well!

    Nice to meet you. :)

    Welcome to Writing Forums, Shal!

    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 and Cogito) 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.
