New author looking for tips

I wouldn't bet on it.

Wonderful! (That was sarcasm by the way.)

Another question... will you be my "Buddy"? My kids have them at their school... an older (read that as "experienced" here) child holds the hand of a new child and shows them the ropes.

Not that I really need anyone holding my hand... it's just that you seem very cute.
 
Ms Katrina said:
Impressive, I'm almost loathed to say this, but you sound bitter. I hope that was sarcasm on your part. Is it really that tough here?

Thanks for the tip. I do appreciate it.

Bitter? Me? I'm just half joking. I tease Colly about her fan club & she teases me that I have none 'cause I can't stick to a category. ;)

Tough? It can be. There are some wonderfully talented folks here from which to learn. Most are quite nice and quite willing to help -- and you get as good as you give. :heart:

Nah, you should tell her in advance we'll pretty much laugh at her constantly. It's our way of saying "welcome to the Ah, now beg for mercy, Bitch!"

:D

Haha! Me, beg? You'll be waiting a very long time.
 
Ms Katrina said:
I will have no one nibbling me. Unless I command it!

How about sucking and licking? Or maybe brushing my fingertips along the inside of your thigh, my hand rucking up your skirt so I can slide my lips across your...

<ahem> Sorry. Lost in the moment.

No, she's right about that. So many stories are posted that many people simply come in and check the categories they like. They see your name enough, and they cling on if they like your stories.

Some people on the AH have immense followings because of this, and how long they've been here. I've been here for a while, and post in different categories... Nothing. Just a few reads and votes here and there.

Awww. God bless your little cotton socks! Feel free to PM me with any qs. I have two tonnes of uni work to do, so I'll probably be around a lot prevaricating.

Welcome to Lit and to the AH!

Trolls vote 1s on stories to bring them down out of spite, and leave nasty PCs, particularly for stories in the Lovng Wives category. Laurel and Manu (who own and operate the site) regularly sweep scores and clear out the 1s as often as they can, but the trolls do their damage.

I've written a couple of BDSM stories and have not run into trolls that I'm aware of, nor have I received any nasty PCs or feedback...yet. ;)

Enjoy!

Edited to add: post a link to your stories in your sigline!

Thank you so much LadyJeanne. I now understand. Comes with the territory, I guess. I have a very thick skin, it'll take more than a few little shits to put me off.

As for the link, I will do, as soon as some have posted.

oops Kat.. I forgot to say howdy.. and welcome... just to let ya know... the only reason an old hairy kneed feller would ponder the possibility of wearing a rediculous greeter outfit.. is to try and wrangle kisses from all newbies.....

Haha! Better late than never. For that, here's a *kiss*.
 
Welcome to the insanity, Katrina. :rose:

This is one of the most intelligent, compassionate, and talented groups of people I've ever had the priviledge to get to know.

They're also some of the most insane, but I call it the "artistic temperment."

Only real tip i can think of is try entering one of the contest as soon as you can. They give you the greatest exposure and that is important to a new author wanting to reach as many readers as you can.

Welcome to the Ah

Thank you, Colleen! I'll certainly consider it. Is there a list somewhere, listing the contest dates and so on?

I definitely recognise your name, by the way. (Trying very hard not to come across as star struck here.)

There's a sticky on top of this forum.

Thanks, again. I like to think I can take care of myself, but it's nice to know there are good people here, as I'm already finding out.

You're not cute anymore. You've gone beyond that now and into the realms of "sexy". Down, boy!

Are you trying to push me?

*ahem*

English Lady said:
Ahh well there are some characters here...don't worry they're all friendly. Some do bite but hey, you get used to it eventually;)

When entering the AH, check your seriousness at the door...
