I just joined this website. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for writing on here? I'm 13 and have been writing for a while, but I've never actually published anything before.. Just any tips for this website in general would be great. Thanks
Hi! You'll have a great time here, I'm sure. Call me EM.
Some tips: 1. We use a point system here, where you sow what you reap. To post a work you need 200 points--points can be obtained from reviewing other works. The Green Room is the place where all new works go, and if you review a work with 0 reviews, you'll get an extra 25 points regardless of how long your review is. From what I've seen, 100 words in a review=10 points. The maximum points you can get is 100 (1000 words or more), which can still be added with a 25 bonus. 2. Once you post your work, it'll enter the Green Room and leave when it gets 2 reviews. If you want more than 2 reviews, you can always go to the Will Review for Food forums to ask for more. 3. Join a club, maybe. There's a ton of them here, and you'll meet a lot of peculiar individuals there. 4. If you're interested in roleplaying, try dabbling in the Storyboards.
That's just the basics. Good luck, and waiting to see your next work!
