Wils: Before joining Fanstory I knew one thing; I liked to write. Stories, poems, whatever it was just get the words on the page. I knew very little about the different types of poems or the proper format. Fanstory taught me that. So for those of you who have critiqued, criticised (politely of course), cried over, read or even just glanced at my writing this thank you is for you.
