Offering writing advice

[AimEnigmaClick]

So, I've been in author here for almost three years now, And I'm just now realizing how fun the forums can be. I see some authors posting questions on here, and I've tried to answer some of them. As an experienced author, I'd like to help other authors, both experienced and new, just like others helped me when I first started.

If you have any questions or need any advice, please feel free to reply or simply message me.

Hi Amy, it's a generous offer but you need to delete your email address and get people to PM you. Bots and trolls will get hold of it and you'll have no end of dramas.

May want to consider linking your works in your profile so those who are looking for help have an idea of where you are similar and/or might clash.

I can adore plenty of authors stylistically but what they've taught themselves/do naturally I would be foolish to try to emulate.

Agree 100% about removing the private email. I haven't checked, but you might also put this in the Editors forum which is often the place folks go for such help. Good for you wanting to help, I try to participate in the Story Feedback forum as a way to help folks get a better grip on writing here.

A kind offer and good luck to you and those you help.

Here are my stories. I won one contest about a year ago for my story, "My Rival/My Rival."

Here's an actual link to your stories, hopefully. You should add it in to your signature here in the forum.

Add your story submission page link to your signature.

Second, I'd suggest that you contribute frequently here and to the Feedback forum so other authors can get more acquainted with you and your feedback.

Lol I ended up getting more help here than I gave

That's very nice of you to offer help.

Also I love that you wrote a fanfic about Tifa and Aerith

As JOH wrote, it is nice of you to offer to help. There are always people looking for beta readers and editors. The best way to connect with people is to reach out, get to know people with whom you feel you are compatible, and be as specific and focused as possible in your approach or solicitation. People are busy and distracted by their own stories so they need something to catch their attention.

They are my favorites! Tifa is forever my girl crush! The queen of all girl crushes I will ever have!

It was one of the first serious stories I've ever tried to do. The other stuff was just silly that was kind of requested of me at the time. I kind of want to go back and try it again now that I've been writing for a few more years.

Also, the fan fiction category doesn't get too much attention on Literotica. It's kind of interesting how people over the years have kind of crept on to that story and showed their appreciation. I'd really like to do a better job now that the game has become relevant again.
