Hey, welcome to the site.

I'm Firestarter, one of the adminstrators of the site. There's a FAQ located on the site you can read to help you understand basic queries. Also, please read the Rules to understand how to behave and stuff on the forums.

Basically this site is where you can post your own work and other people will read it for you and help you to improve. To post your own work, just find the write forum (under Literary Forums) and hit New Topic. However, you are also expected to look at other people's stories/poems and help them improve theirs. You are expected to post around two comments on someone else's work for every new thing you post (this is a rough guideline, you should comment more than this really)

There are also forums where you can just talk about random stuff (Randomness) and off-topic things (The Lounge) amongst a range of lots of other forums.

You're best bet is to spoend ten minutes exploring the whole site.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a private message (you can find that on the menu bar at the top) and I will be happy to help.

Who is your friend?

Anyways, what Firestarter said. The FAQ's and Rules are really informative for you. If these don't answer your questions, just PM a member of Big Brother and we'll help you out. (We're the people with orange and green names).

*gasps indignantly* How did you get on???

Sorry, I don't mean to seem upset, but...I've tried at least ten times to get my little sister to have an account and it never works! Ah...I guess I should ask Nate about it.

So, on the contract, did you say you were under thirteen or did you just change your birthdate from the thirteen and above?

...

But Welcome! I hope Firestarter's explanation helped you.

On the home page, your should see your profile on the right, semi-top corner. From there you can see the new posts made sense you left, or view, or edit your profile. Obviously you know how to post. :wink: Just explore, you'll figure it out. If you're still having trouble, feel free to PM me. My name's Jacquie by the way, and I'm so very happy you're here! :D

hey simple.plan.freak! I'm Dusky!

As far as I know, there is nothing on the site that says you can't post fanfiction, so feel free to post your stories.
