Isn't it amazing how such a relatively simple idea can bring so many people together! I have been a member of Stories.Com for almost a year now, and have not once looked back or regretted my decision to join. I have met many new people - albeit, faceless strangers - and have thoroughly enjoyed the R&R's, E-mails, forums and everything else that makes up ths site. Personally, I write solely for my own pleasure, and having a place where I can post my stories and receive honest opinions about my writing no matter how poor it might be (or how good, hey, self praise 'cain't hoit', can it?), must be a bonus. In all seriousness, some of the stories I have read here are absolutely brilliant - there is some poorer stuff, but you can learn from this site, learn a helluva lot - and deserving of a publishing contract, and that's no bull. Stories.Com is to be congratulated, and deserves a lot more publicity than it's presently getting. I want to thank everyone involved with Stories.Com for giving writers the chance to air their stories, articles, poems and views. That includes all the members that have made up such a wonderful little community. And that thank you is from the very bowels of my black, empty heart. LOL. And to any Publishers visiting? Read well my friends, there is some brilliant stuff here, and that is coming from someone who has been writing for over twenty years, and has published and edited a fiction magazine. Give 'em a chance guys, you won't be disappointed!
Stories.Com is wicked cool! My friend Brandi recommended it to me and it is so great to finally get some input on what people think of my stories! It's the best to log in and have a comment on a story in my inbox- there is nothing like it.
I was always told by family I had a gift, of course they have to say that. I found Stories.Com and I feel the feedback I get is real. From people who don't have to say something nice, but do. I also get a lot of good advice and ideas reading other people's work. I used to waste a lot of time on the computer just surfing, now I spend quality time on Stories.Com. Thanks for the site.
What a wonderful place to post our poetry, stories or any other piece of writing we choose! I don't think I can go a day without reading or writing something here and it's wonderful how many excellent writers are here! It's a wonderful tool for all and a great boredom fixer. I give this site a perfect *5* for excellence!
I've been a reader from the age of four, and a writer from the age of six or seven. That said, I was surprised and thrilled to find this site in the search for new and exciting work. Though I have been here nearly a year, I'm not nearly as active in the site as I intend to be--I've been too busy trying to get down with everything that's been swimming in my brain and begging for attention for so long...
But enough about me; on to the virtues of Stories.Com! The myriad ways from within the site to read others' works and obtain feedback on your own work, be it through Stories.Com Email, Discussion Forums, the "Shameless Plug" Page, or the Stories.Com Insant Messaging system.... it's mindblowing, the capacity of an individual writer to successfully make themself known and acknowledge their audience. This site basically, well, makes it easier to be a writer! Kudos!
Stories.Com is a great site for writers and readers alike! It's really great to get reviews+ratings from other people on your work and it's also very fun searching for a good story or poem! I've read many stories that are truthfully book material and many poems that really should be published in a book! Also people here seem to be very friendly and willing to help you out! This really is a great site! It gives writers a chance to get publicity for their work and have some motivation to get their work published! Simply a helping hand for writers trying to get their work published! ^_^
I have been a member of Stories.Com for over a year now, and in that year, I have discovered many things about this wonderful site. Not only is Stories.Com a place where we can share our written work with one another, but because of The StoryMaster's creative know how, we are able to receive invaluable feedback on how to improve our writing. In addition to all of the wonderful features such as Interactives, In and Outs, User Polls, and Creative Campfires that Stories.Com offers its members, what separates Stories.Com from any other writing site is the interactions between its members. In the purest sense of the word, Stories.Com is a family. Here, we are a community who shares a love for reading and writing. That love has formed a bond that is nurtured and cared for through one another’s writing style, creativity, friendship, and diverse personalities found within the site. Because of The StoryMaster, The StoryMistress, and Stories.Com, we are able to share our experiences, thoughts, and friendships with one another. Thank you for giving us Stories.Com, StoryMaster, and thank you, my family, Stories.Com.
Stories.Com has helped me greatly in achieving what my writing is today. The words just flow from my mind as I type. Everyone is so friendly and always willing to help, so no matter how you get stuck there is always somebody to ask. Stories.Com is a great writing community which unites people from around the world in a friendly, fanatic environment.
Thank you Stories.Com for all you've given me / For taking my dreams and putting them into reality / I wanted friends who'd care and dry my tears / I wanted recognition for the words I hold so dear / I wanted love, and I found it here / What more can I ask? Tell me what can I do? / To repay you, all I can say, is Thank You.
I`m new to Stories.Com. Not being a writer I had no idea where to start, so this is great! Thank you, Stories.Com. People have been too kind.
Ok, I'm not gonna make this sound like just your normal testimonial. You see, I like to be more subtle. I first found this site about a year ago via google or yahoo or something like that, and ever since then, I've been hooked. There's so much to do and read, it is just phenomenal. I like the way authors receive feedback on their work from other writers as well as readers. The sense of community within the site is staggering. And... you probably saw this coming, but... Thank you.
I am a very introverted person and I don't like having people see me vunerable. The idea of even showing anyone any of my work was unheard of. I began to think that this might hinder me in the future so I decided to jump in heads first. I accidentally found this site and immediately felt welcomed. But the clincher for me was when the first person sent me gift points for my poem. I thought that they were nuts, but more people kept sending them. Thanks to Stories.Com I feel like I have something to offer now.
I've been a member here at Stories.Com since November of 2000. It's a great site for reading, writing, collaborating, and getting help with what you're working on. The people here are so supportive of your work and helpful when there are things you need to improve. It's been a great experience to be a part of this community. Also, the wide variety of tools available at this site are mind-boggling. You can do so many different things in so many different ways, there's no way your creativity could ever go stale.
There are few places on the web that I have come to love as much as I do Stories.Com. I can't even begin to convey how happy I am that my husband found it and introduced it to me. Stories.Com is not only a website for writers, it is a community and a family. It doesn't matter if you have written 1000 pieces or are just considering writing. Stories.Com will let you read some of the world's most talented writers and help give you ideas for your own stories. There are contests to give you that little push to get started and forums to talk to other writers when you get stuck. I would recommend Stories.Com whole heartedly to anyone... and usually do!
I love Stories.Com. I've always been an avid writer and reader, and here I find things to read and a place for me to post my writing. I really feel like I've become a better writer since I joined here, and I love the community of authors we have. I have had nothing but excellent experiences here, and I highly recommend the site to anyone who ever picked up a book. Keep up the fantastic work!
Not only do I love Stories.Com for myself, but also because they allow, support, and encourage young writers as well! I have two young children who have created accounts here, and found very generous and supportive readers of their work. Of course, it's wonderful to get insightful comments and critiques of my own writing, but it's also a very special thrill to see my children's eyes light up, and to see their beginning love of writing nourished and inspired. Thanks to the creators of this site and the warm community of readers and fellow writers!
I love Stories.Com because I have always wanted the chance to get my writing more well known, and to get non-biased opinions of all my work. I feel that my writing has improved since I began putting my work on here and being given an anon upgrade has really given me the boost I need to continue my writings. I also enjoy reading the work of other authors, becasue I feel I can learn a lot from what they write. Thank you Stories.Com for giving me the opportunity to do these things.
It's very difficult to describe exactly what Stories.Com means to its members, even if we are all writers! It's not just a place where we have the opportunity to read some of the finest writers on the net, and make our own additions, but a real community with the opportunity to make real friends and genuinely feel a part of something. There are no words to describe Stories.Com - it just is!!!!
It is exactly a year and one month that I have been with Stories.Com. So I'm talking from experience, an experience that has been wonderful for me. This place is more than a site, it is a community of writers who goad, cajole, and encourage one another to come up with the best possible writing within their power. The camaraderie of teaching, learning, and encouraging produces far better writers than even those higher education sites can boast of.
The best thing about Stories.Com is that it is for people at any age who are serious about writing- students, professionals, and seasoned writers alike. A site as expertly run as this one rightfully deserves a lot of respect. That is to say, that it has some rules for the community to function well. Since I've been with Stories.Com, my command of the English language has improved and my enthusiasm for writing has doubled. In my opinion, Stories.Com is a site light years ahead of its time.
I must say, I really do appreciate all that the Storymistress and the Storymaster do and have done, to keep this site running smoothly! I am absolutely addicted, and have no idea what I'd do without it. (why, without it, I'd be doomed to watching Gilligan's Island re-runs, cutting out paper dolls, and speculating endlessly on the next baseball strike! Yikes!) I think it's important that Stories.Com members be aware of all the work that the creators of this site actually do...and although they don't blow their own "horns"...I know I always appreciate updates and any info about how things actually work around here. Even for a crusty old loner like myself....they have worked a miracle...which is having created a place within which a sense of community can blossom. (not an easy task)!
Cheers!
I've met some wonderful and talented people here. Everyone you interact with seems to be intent on helping you to become a better writer. What a great learning experience!
I am so excited to be a part of such a wonderful community. Today I was promoted to Preferred Author! I haven't been so excited since the birth of my last child. I consider Stories.Com the best site available for Writers and Readers. I can't pass the computer without logging on to this site. The members are the most friendly and helpful people I've ever seen. I've always taken my writing seriously, but since I started writing on Stories.Com, I am not only producing more writing, but more quality writing. I've taken 3 at home writing courses at a costly price and I've learned more here in the last month, than I've ever learned with the courses. Thank You all so much for creating this wonderful site.
Since I accidentally stumbled upon Stories.Com, I have gotten addicted to it. I check in twice every day and never missed a single day. This site made me write for the first time. The amount of feedback I received from my friends kept driving me to keep on writing. What more can I say but 'Thank you' Stories.Com for helping me realize a talent I thought I never had... and I hope to dear God that I really do continue writing 'cause it has helped more than I could explain in mere words.
I feel that creating things of beauty, things that people enjoy is the only valuable aim in existance. If I can share my vision, my dream with others, so that they may feel its joy, its emotion, it adds to the joy of creating, of expressing myself. However, as I consider art, whatever its nature may be, to be extremely personal and emotionally involving, I don't believe it can really be sold, as changing it to comply to customer wishes and popular demand would only lead to heartache. Therefore, it is wonderful to have a place like Stories.Com, where we can share our dreams, without having to worry about any commercial necessities like popular demand, current fashion, and the like.
WOW!! Nothing is better then finding a warm friendly story to curl up to in front of the fire.. errr monitor. Print it! Then go to the fire. Ha! This community has been nothing but family love to me. Everyone is amazing, warm and friendly... Ummm... oh yeah, they are ususally writers or readers. Seriously, I couldn't live without Writing.Com, it's my home. Thanks so much for providing me a place to come and sit down and write about anything I wanted to without having tons of paper scattered around the house. You're a Godsend.
