Wow I beat the admins to the punch in regards to "WELCOME!"

Well, uh, ahem: WELCOME!

If you want to get to writing stories, I recommend you abuse the crap out of the Writer's Workshop. And take the advice you get there seriously. Everyone giving advice over there is doing it because they also used it to get better/still use it now. WW is a fantastic resource for critiques and a second word to avoid the "all my pastas are getting deleted" rut that many early users experience.

Don't be shy about making blogs or engaging in the forums, but do try not to upload shitty spam blogs with one or two sentences and/or no actual point. These things tend to get zapped pretty quickly, but they're still a nuisance to mods.

You say you wrote some noend stories, it'd be neat if you'd link them on your profile! We'd love to check them out!

Good luck!
