Why, hello there! I am the Batcat, the one and only, and if you happen to see any imposters, please report them. Anywho, feel free to call me Batty or Batwardo or Battleaxe or any other creative nickname you can come up with. Or even simply "Bob". I love writing (obviously, that's why I'm here) and I love reading other people's works. I guess that's why forums like this work well for me. I love roleplaying with all my heart. I need to create some more characters because mine are being a little overused right now, but I think I can work on that here. I just really like writing. A lot. *tears up* Besides writing, here's a bit about myself. I'm a bit of a nerd. I'm in band and I actually like it. I also am really perfectionist about my grades, which probably isn't very good, but whatever. I can't stand stupid people. If you're not book-smart, that's okay. I respect that if you try. But if you have no common sense then we're going to have a problem. Like Juliet, from Romeo and Juliet. I can't stand her. No. You met Romeo and started swapping spit with him. YOU DO NOT LOVE HIM. SHUT UP YOU ARE 13 YEARS OLD. Anyway. I don't bite (unless you are a large bar of delicious chocolate. Then I will consume you and you will perish in my belly with your chocolate friends). I like to laugh. I like to write. And I like to make friends and turn them into my slaves > Batcat is out of here.
Welcome to Writing Forums, Batcat! 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
