This looks like a great community with lots of interaction. Looking forward to getting involved, asking questions and offering help and advice where I can. I was inspired to start writing by the season 1 finale of Buffy - Sarah Michelle Gellar's acting in that completely blew me away. I want to write something so good it will inspire her to want to play the part. Hey! We can all dream. Tony
Haha, I can remember the days when Buffy aired on TV. I never watched it, but everyone else was talking about it. With you being a sci-fic writer, I was secretly hoping you’d mention something along the lines of Firefly. (It was such a disappointment when they canceled that show.) Buffy was a bit unexpected, but I can see where you’re going with that. Anyway, after you fill in the usual quota of reviews, I hope to see some of your stories around.
Welcome to Writing Forums, Tony! 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
