Hi everyone, I guess I am not that new, but I haven't posted anything other than comments on other people's work. Everyone here is doing such a great job, I guess I'm scared my work isn't as good as theirs is.

Lol, don't worry. We love reviewers. Besides, reviewers tend to be the better writers anyway!

I have only one comment as to your being afraid to post your stuff: Post Anyway.
Seriously. No one on this site is sitting there going, "Oh my gosh, that person is soooo much worse than that person over there." And we're all here to share and read what other people have written and improve. So by all means, post. Please?

Besides, most of us (even the writers who are considered good) are usually like, "Oh my gosh... the stuff I'm writing is so terrible. Should I post it?" And then the writer posts it, and all the other members get jealous, etc. It's a never-ending cycle!

Indeed, we love people here. Besides, we're all here to improve our writing and help others do the same!
I'm Areida, but you can call me Ari if you want. It's good having you around. If you're looking for some awesome stuff to critique, check out some of the pieces by the three people above me. They're all excellent writers. See you around!

Sorry... just had to post that.
And I also just wanted to second what Snoink said about every single one of us thinking that our stuff is not good enough. Everything I post up here, I fully expect to be torn to shreds because I see it as entirely lacking.
