SimplyK: I'm feeling blown away by the generosity of spirit and encouragement that I've received. Just at the beginning of this adventure and so many welcomed helping hands. I particularly like being challenged by critique, please keep that coming!


SimplyK: I really appreciate it when I get feedback that helps me improve a piece. Brilliant!


SimplyK: I'm learning a lot. There are some very helpful people on this site. It costs but I feel it is worth it.
    IndianaIrish: May I ask what costs so much? In my nine years here, I've never paid a dime of real money except for the membership dues. -
    nor84: I've spent maybe $20 in real money, back when I was a new member. Since then, I earn Fanstory member money from reviewing others and entering contests. -
    Debra White: I have only ever paid for my membership fee here - never a penny on anything else! -
    Selina Stambi: I've only paid for my membership. You earn virtual dollars by reviewing. Don't ever get into the trap of pouring real money into a virtual world. -
    SimplyK: Thanks to all the lovely people who cared to tell me about reviews and costs. So very kind. I do review but it takes me ages. So though I enjoy it, it costs me time. And time I don't have as much of as I like. I'm sure I will find the balance between reading and posting when this initial wave of euphoria runs out xxxx -
    mrsmajor: I've not been as consistent in reviewing as some here, so it has cost me the actual dollars needed to post my work...I don't review as much as I could, but when one enjoy writing as I do, the money spent allows me to continue doing what I really enjoy, and getting the feedback, its my pleasure... I have been on this site
    for over 10 years, and I've enjoyed myself...made some friends, while putting my pen to paper, as often as I like...Enjoy your stay, you will find this can be a very helpful site to meet your goal, one day you will find more time to review, and not have to spend any real money.

    Welcome!
