Yea, I admit it, I surfed the web. I was a loner, drifting from one place to the next, never caring or thinking about what I was doing. And then my best friend showed me her portfolio on Stories.Com and said I should get one. I did. Three or so months later, I'm a new person. I have a journal where I write down everything and I have 3 or 4 more item spaces where I can write about whatever I want! I can honestly say that I am happier than ever. Thank you so much for this sanctuary!
I joined Stories.Com because I wanted to see whether anything I wrote was worth it. I've always thought of myself as a nothing writer and not much of a person either. I wrote a few things and the reviews I got from people who really didn't need to say nice things to me, made me feel so special! Thank you, to all the people who told me what they thought of my work. You couldn't possibly realize what this means to me.
I joined Stories.Com out of curiosity and have begun to look at it almost three to four times in a day! I am no great shakes as a writer, but Stories.Com is the perfect online vehicle for budding writers like me, as it provides complete infrastructure to post your writings, an e-mail service, a peer and senior review, an opportunity to meet and befriend new people by the thousands, and above all, through its ratings and review system, it makes better writers of us all.
This site is the best, it has nice people who read your stuff and best of all they're super nice! You can spend hours here, reading, writing or making friends! So if you want to make new friends and spend the best time on internet, visit Writing.Com! In the year since I have joined Writing.Com, they have improved the look, feel, and over all ease of the site. Easily, this is the best site on the web. The e-mail services are amoung the best and easily rival those offered by Yahoo!! and AIM. For talking to other people, they have chat rooms, and IM console, and message forums. In fact, I met almost all my online friends on this site. But the main reason to join is because of the friendship here. Writers can easily find a home to post their works, and get postive feedback. Readers can find a wealth of items for their reading pleasure. And even if you don't fall into those two groups, you can still find plenty to do here. Create word searches, message forums, Images, there is more to do here than just write. That's why this the the best site. While the title is Writing.Com, there is something here for everyone. And trust me, this is my favorite site on line. Without it, I might have given up my dreams to write, but now thanks to the helpful members of Writing.Com, I know that I have the talent to take me far. Thank you Writing.Com, here's to more years on this great site.
However melodramatic you think this is- Stories.Com has saved my life more than once. I get seriously depressed and the thing that helps me is to get on this computer and write what I feel and get feedback. Not just help with my stories, poems, and slightly peculiar lyrics, but with my problems! Thank you all so much! You're giving me the support I need as I work through all my problems.
I just want to say that I love Stories.Com. It's a real place to write stories without letting people know who you are. Also, if you get stuck, you can always just read other people's work to get your juices flowing.
I stumbled upon Stories.Com while studying the market for children's book publishers. I was a bit hesitant about sharing my stories on-line but my anxiety has diminished as the rates and reviews have given me the confidence I need to keep my chin up through each rejection slip I receive in the mail. It also gives me something to look forward to as I patiently wait for a response from a publisher on my manuscripts. The support of the members is tremendous and I appreciate not only the glitter but the well-intended suggestions for improving my piece. Reviewing other registered authors has been a delightful challenge that not only is educational in itself but forces me to look at my own work in a different light. I am hooked. It's like caffeine in the morning and a hug before you go to bed.
I registered 10/09/02 onto Stories.Com, became a registered author within a week. This site is exactly what I was looking for. Even though I haven't got to use all the bells and whistles yet, I enjoy the site. I get a lot of feedback on my writing. All feedback is useful. Reading and reviewing writings of other authors just inspires me to write more. Plus I meet people who have the same interest in writing as I do. This site is a must for writers.
My mother introduced me to Stories.Com--she was so certain that I would enjoy it. I was a bit skeptical to say the least. To please and support her I signed up--that was the beginning of an addiction that has lasted to this day. During my first year on here, I am sure I frustrated my family by constantly visiting this site--now they too are "addicts". My eldest daughter has become so hooked on this wonderful site that I have had to resort to claiming "Mother's priviledge" in order to have my turn.
I am so grateful to Stories.Com. It has helped develop my writing skills and it has opened doors for my daughter. I am profoundly grateful for all joy and support I have received here. The people on this site have truly become my other family. Thank you.
This website is the place to get the neutral feedback we writers crave. It's one thing to have editors tear apart your every sentence, but quite another to hear exactly what the readers think! With only a few months on the site, I've already learned how to hone my craft in a way that appeals to more readers.
I just want to say, it will soon be one year for me on Stories.Com and I have really learned alot. The reviews I have received have helped me be a better writer. I have enjoyed the writings of others and have really been inspired by the help I have received for my work. Thank you Stories.Com, you are the best and I am glad to be a part of it.
I came across Stories.Com through a newsletter I received. When I entered the site I felt like a child walking into a candy store for the first time. So much to choose from, so many different shapes, colors, and sizes of extraordinary sugary works of poems, stories, contests and dreams. Here was a place where hope abounds and I could also display my work and actually have others review it, but more importantly have others offer words of advice and encouragement that continue to build on my dreams. It will take a long time to soak in the wonderful flavor of this site, but right now I will just wallow, like a child in wonderment, at the many different selection of candies, not quite being able to grasp that it's all here right before my eyes. Peace, Mary
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the StoryMistress and Master for taking the chance and starting this website, and for sacrificing their time to keep it running. This was the first place I had the nerve to allow other people to read my words (probably because I'm hiding safely behind my monitor!) I am very grateful for the chance to hear what other people think of what I have written, I appreciate all comments. I also love reading what others have experienced or simply have to say about something. Thank you all.
Stories.Com has given me many opportunities in various situations. I've been published in a book through the site. I've been able to be supported with life issues as well as offer support for others. I've been given a valuable opportunity to increase my editing/writing abilites! Without Stories.Com, I don't know what I would do! There's been many times that school essays have been revised for me here and personal poetry has been praised, raising my belief in my own personal ability to write! Thank you Stories.Com... not just the site... but all who make it the wonderful world that it has grown to be!!!
I found Stories.Com about two months ago while looking for a free service to maintain an online journal. Needless to say, I have a lot more in my portfolio than a journal now. After reading a few of the many stories and participating in a few of the many contests and other activities, I found myself immediately hooked. I had never let anyone read my writing before, and this was a good place to start! Now I have more confidence in myself as a writer and look forward to sharing my new pieces with everyone. Stories.Com is a great place for readers and writers alike!
I found Stories.Com through my twin sister, Fireant (go read her port!) She told me about this amazing place with some trepidation. What I found was amazing. I discovered my twin is a serious poet and one riot of a comedic writer. I discovered an amazing fellowship of wonderful people (like the Opals, 4provinces, Miblu!) What I also discovered, to my own shock, was that I could write poetry (well, my muse can, I merely take down her dictation,) and a place to work through some issues with essays and journaling. I guess the most surprising thing was the encouragement, support, and kindness of people who knew what it felt like to be rejected out of hand.
I’ve seen incredibly painful events occur here, and watched an international community pull together to gently support one grieving father, to hold and support each other during the recent Bali bombing. More than writing, this is a place of compassion and community, with room for the eight year old writing about ninjas or the professor who is published in his field. Amazing place.
Stories.Com bar none, is the best online literary site that I have ever come across. I cannot wait until I have truly learned how to access the unlimited resources available. I have written this and that and dreamed of moving to the next level of writing. Stories.Com will be, for me, the breakthrough or opportunity that I have been seeking. In the forthcoming months and years to come, this will be the site that I will launch and advertised my novels, books of poetry, and short stories. Thank you.
There seems to be a lot of people who stumbled upon this site by accident. However, I was one of the lucky few who was told about the awesome Stories.Com by a friend who thought I'd love it on here as much as she did. And boy was she right!!! There is so much on offer here and the opportunities to learn and make new friends are endless. I come on here as much as I can because I can't wait to add more to my portfolio, read and learn from what people think about my work and read the hundreds of fantastic authors active on here everyday. Stories.Com caters for all tastes, ages and abilities and makes everyone feel worth something both as a writer and a person. I find myself wondering what on earth I ever did with my time before I joined because I can't imagine my life without my daily dose of Stories.Com! If you're not already a member you should totally join and check out all the benefits. I am sure you'll not only love it, but will be surprised by how many new things you'll suddenly find out. 
Stories.Com is like a “Walt Disney World” for writers. Each time you log on you feel the magic that you first felt when you realized that writing was a part of your soul. The best part is that you are given your entrance ticket for free. You're always finding something new and you never run out of things to do. Even with its massive size you are still made to feel important and given appreciation for your work. The comfort and friendliness of its members still astounds me with every new encounter I meet. Stories.Com has a magical realm to it. It lifts a writer up and inspires them to create something they have never tried before. The magic never ends!
This site is an earthly paradise for anyone who likes to write, read, or happens to speak English. I first stumbled across Stories.Com about a year ago, and spent much time reading what others had written; I only joined last month, and already I think I've finally come home. Quite apart from the joy of gaining exposure for your work, this place is a community of like-minded people who are so much nicer than the yutzes I have to deal with every day. Hello, my name is Publius and I'm a Stories.Com-aholic.
A dear friend of mine and member recommended this site to me and I haven't regretted a moment of it. I have been able to pour my heart out and make new friends into the bargain.
I will surely be spreading the word round. A big thumbs up......
I found Stories.Com by accident and it was the best mistake I ever made! I've only been on for 2 days now, but have already gotten many reviews. Well more then I usually get. I've read some wonderful stories, written by wonderful authors and they have given me the inspiration to EXPAND MY HORIZON. It's like a big community and I can't wait until I establish myself. The people who took the time to create this site really knew what they were doing because it has everything a writer could ever want FREE!
I write whenever inspiration strikes. That means whenever: whatever time of day, sometimes when I'm sleeping! If I was listening to a song and it really inspired me, I would scribble down my thoughts on paper in the form of a poem or story. Many of those papers are now long lost or forgotten. Now, I can save everything I do on Stories.Com. People review it and tell me if I'm gifted or just weird - you can't always trust JUST your own opinion. Plus, all these erratic ideas that pop up every so often are now collected into one portfolio that I can never lose, even if my computer is prone to crashing like it is! You can be any age, any race or nationality, in any situation or lifestyle, and of any level of writing skill - it doesn't matter on Stories.Com. Next time inspiration strikes, don't lose it - save it here so it can be enjoyed by all.
I was introduced to Stories.Com by one of my best friends, and I've been on nearly every day since. This is just a great site allowing all sorts of exposure for amateur and even expert writers. I'm glad to be on here, and I don't think anyone will ever regret signing up. Here's to you, Stories.Com!
I've just celebrated my one year anniversary on Stories.Com. A year ago, when my brother referred me to this site, I had no way of knowing what it would come to mean to me. This community is more than a place to read and write. It is a place to share ideas, thoughts, to discover endless roads of inspiration. Around every corner is something new to delight the senses, whether it is an adventurous story, a witty article or a poignant poem. It could be a delightfully fresh technical toy provided by the ever-innovative StoryMaster and Mistress. I've felt the wonder of seeing life-long friendships begin here, of lovers meeting across the cyber waves, of watching tentative writers blossom with confidence and pride in their work. I myself have found not so much a community, as a family of authors that have taken me under their wings, been the wind beneath them, so to speak, given me the feedback, encouragement and assurance to pursue that once forgotten dream... To write. If for no other reason, than for the sheer joy of it. For this I owe this site; its webmasters, its moderators, each of my fellow authors my most gracious appreciation. Thank you for this.
