Lightbulb We have weapons of mass punctuation

Since I do believe this is the place where I can shamelessly mention and plug another site, I will do so now.

For any writers or poets out there, if you're looking for more places to post your work or gain new readers, please do take a poke around Fictionpost.com. (We have a smiley for poking things, actually.)

True, it's small and most of us are not published yet (though a couple are and more seem to be mobilizing toward that goal everyday), but it's a very laid back place and you won't get lost in the crowd or drowned in literary snobbery like with some of the larger sites. Looking to spring your newest gore-soaked horror story on unsuspecting innocents? We have a horror and crime forum that needs your attention. Need help with grammar or spelling?We have a friendly Grammar Nazi (oxymoron!) to help teach you where to stick those tricky semicolons and apostrophes.

Plus it's free to join, we have cookies of the chocolate chip variety, and there's a whole area dedicated to word games. How can you say no when you visualize yourself munching on a cookie and playing in the "500,000 Bottles of Beer" thread? And it isn't as if you'd have to stop coming here--think of Fictionpost as a beloved mistress, but G-net is still the one you'll come home to every night. Or something like that.

And if that doesn't entice, I can always set the fire-breathing kittens on you. They can be very persuasive. But hopefully I won't have to resort to such drastic measures. *narrows eyes*

Anyhow, that's Fictionpost.com. Use only as directed. May cause giddiness, nausea, lightheadedness, or nosebleeds, depending on your point of view on the place.

Oh, dearest Laughing Corpse, this link makes my heart soar!

Thank you so much for posting it. I've been looking for a good critique site where I won't be mauled to death by angry grammarians, librarians, and english teachers simply because I placed one little comma in the wrong place.

I believe I will bookmark this and join later on, after I've browsed a bit.

Perhaps we could read each of our stories sometime, and help one another edit or enhance it?

I'd like that. I've started to read some of the things in the Literature area, your Silent Hill snippets among them.

Also, Fictionpost has forums for art, photography, debates, and roleplaying, for anyone interested in those things.

I hope you liked my little snippets. =P

As I've said, I'm planning to become a novelist, so any feedback or tips you have to share as a fellow writer is welcome! =)

And yaaay! I like to draw, so an art section is good.

That was definitely a good call, shamelessly plugging for Fiction Post. I can feel the suck leaving my stories as I type. The other writers have really unique talent, and their criticism is thoughtful so far. I'm simply ecstatic that I can share what I've been spending long, late nights exhausting myself over, and that I can see it all from as many different perspectives as there are members.
