    Hi y'all!

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by JS_writing, Apr 27, 2025 at 9:17 PM.

    Hi there!
    I'm Jenny from Germany, 31 years old, and I write fiction, mainly crime stories and thriller.
    If there's anything you'd like to know, just drop me a line or comment below.
    At this point, I've got 17 stories finished, but, of course, will publish them one by one.

    Hello and welcome, Jenny. Glad to have you here. Please make yourself at home. Are you more of a short-story writer? (I am.)

    My longest story is 68000 Words, most are less than that, though. Is there a board for stories beyind short story length on this forum? I put much emphasis on developing my main characters and the world they act in.

    I would say that makes it a novel. Short stories are usually under 10,000 words.

    We do have a workshop, where you can post your stories for feedback. Maximum length to post is 5000 words. Your get the first one "free" then after that you are expected to do a review for another member for each post you make.

    We've also got short stories contests you might like to check out. They open on the 1st of each month

    Welcome to the forum!

    It really depends why you want to post your story. If it's to find an audience for them, a writing forum (whether this one or any other) isn't really the right place for that. If you're looking for help in writing or developing stories and your skills, this is absolutely the place for it!

    At 68,000 words, that's novel-length, and a forum isn't really the place for that.
