Hello Fantasy Girl, Welcome to the Writing Forums. Broadcasting to ask members to do offline reviews is against site policy. Posting your own work should not be among the very first things you do here. It is worth taking the time to see what other people have done to improve their writing, and see if some of it applies to your writing as well. That is part of why we require members to review other members' work before posting their own for review. On the other hand, there are no restrictions, other than content and copyright rules, on showcasing your work in your member blog. 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, and be sure to read through the forum rules, too, to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Respect for one another is our principal mandate. 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 constructive critique as a vital 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. And while you're looking around, don't forget to check out our Weekly Short Story Contest and Weekly Poetry Contest. They actually run more than one week apiece, but any member may enter, and all members are urged to vote for their favorites. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
Hi? Hello... again? I'm not a new user, but I haven't been on here in what seems like forever. When I first joined up, I was not the best of writers, but after a year or so practice, I have improved considerable amounts. If you remember me, then hey. If not, then, hi, I'm Beth. ice to meet you FG xx
Hi Beth, I'm Dan - nice to meet (?) you! I'm new here (properly new ) and I've found this place rediculously addictive in the few days I've been here... addictive in a good way, might I add...
Yeah it is pretty addictive. I don't know why I stopped comming on here to be honest. Nice to meet you anyway Dan
Welcome (back) to the forum! Good to see you decided to come back...I look forward to seeing some of your work!
