I have just read your review of FanStory and found it very positive and uplifting. I must say I have had some doubts about it as I find it a quite an expensive hobby but I have been participating for a year and am truly addicted and it fulfills my creative need.
A very well written peice. Take care. Jen.

First of all, welcome to Fanstory. Based on your essay here, I can see that you are aiming to take full advantage of all it has to offer. If horror writing is your thing, you've got to check out Dean Kuch's writing (maybe you have already). He excels at that genre. Meia Sayers is also great.

I agree with you! Before I wrote only if I felt the urge, very irregularly but Fanstory has made a regular writer out of me!

One suggestion:
" they give me reviews on what if they think it is any good"
maybe: " they give me reviews on what they think is any good"

You have it right, my friend. That's the main reason I'm on fanstory, to become a better writer. To learn more about the craft of storytelling. I love to read different peoples work on here, to see how they structure their work, how they tell the story differently than I do. That's the fun of this site! Keep them coming.

Have a great day and God bless.

Raul1, I believe this contest is about reviewing the reviews. I do realize that Fan Story has given you (and many of us) a great outlet for our work but in my opinion what is expected is to analyze the reviews rather than providing a generalized aspect of how good the site has been If you have no problems with the reviews, that's fine too, but you need to be mores specific. Just my opinion.


I hope you do well for the contest.

This is an excellent essay describing the assistance members of FanStory have given to an up and coming writer. His choice of the art work accompanying the piece is excellent. His grasp of lessons learned is improving. Well done.

Thank you! I will edit it again to fix those mistakes.

Possible edit suggestions:
FanStory is fun. I work with other writers who offer their edit suggestions and help me to improve my writing skills.

I participate in writing contests(.) I might earn awards and maybe some honorable mentions also.

The members on this site help me to write more clearly and concisely.

I am getting better as a writer because of my participation on Fan Story.

Over all, your point is well explained. Just a few minor edit suggestions to help it flow and not feel so choppy and redundant. Good luck in the contest.
