Every faithful writer is welcome to join this website. All I ask is that you prove that you do enjoy writing and do it frequently. Several submissions to this website and you'll find yourself with a personal member page. Even if you do not want to join this website you are still allowed to make submissions and enter some contests (generally the contests will be for members only but every now and then i'll have one that anyone can enter). There's two things you need to do to become a member.
First is make submissions ofcourse. Please e-mail all submissions to my personal e-mail adress. The link will be on the toolbar but I'll write it here too. It's grrtt_88@yahoo.com
I prefer all submissions to be microsoft Word document files. If you do not have Word you can save your story or poem to a notepad file and e-mail that along with a brief message: Who you are, and anything you want to say about your story or poem.
The number of submissions it takes to be invited to join varies person to person. It really depends if I see serious work. If you send me 10 stories each half a page long, with barely any substance to them, obviously I am not going to invite you. I appologize for inconvienances but there is room for other more dedicated writers. I like variety also. If you send me both poems and stories and mix up your style and genre a bit you will be invited faster. By the way, you don't have to write stories to join. If all you write is poetry that is fine too.
As I said before I am not trying to discourage people from trying to join, I am simply trying to weed out the active writers from the inactive ones who may try to join and then only write one story the entire time they are here. I think everyone else would feel the same way.
The second step you can take to becoming a member is joining the forum and be an active poster. You don't have to go nuts. But if you get my attention on there too it'll help you get in quicker. You should start by posting in the Join category and letting us know you intent to join. Any questions you have on joining you can post on the forum. Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you consider joining our community.
