Just to add on, the rules aren't "scaring off the newbies". Just to name a few from this year alone: Jdeschene, Parlour, Kolpik,  SoDaft Potato,  QuentinKing, and  Fairly7Local have each contributed handsomely with amazing stories without issue and act as proof to shatter your claims.

It's simple: you put in the effort, you will thrive here. If you don't, then like Cleric said, we provide measures to assist you with sections like the Workshop. However, you have to meet us halfway and be open to that assistance and critique.

The only way to get a blade is to hammer at it under the heat, shaping and molding it to a polished piece of craftsmanship. Without that hammer, which is constructive criticism, you have nothing but a bland dull rod. Take your stories and throw them in the Workshop and see what people say.
