Hello, everyone! Yay, I have just posted my first story on Stories of Arda. Squee, I can't believe how technical I am becoming, first lj cuts and now Stories of Arda! Lol.
Anyway, I am going to try and post the rest of my stories over there as well, so if you want to take a look, let me know how it looks.
Hugs!

ff.n serves a useful function. It gives newbies a place where they can test the waters anonymously. And if all the good stuff disappears from it, then they'll never have a chance to read and learn better, now will they?

Sure it's an unfiltered forum, but that's to the good. You face neither criticism of your abilities, or the travails of untender prejudices by the self-proclaimed authority of an "editor/webmaster" of a more selective site. You might have to put up with a few trolls, but it's easier to ignore anonymous malice. And if you get some good reviews, it helps you take the next step when you find a really excellent website, which has a selection policy that you have to work a little harder to live up to.

And besides, even a wretched Marysue with invented spelling can be fun when your tempereature's away up. Yay Nyquil!

I fully agree with the purpose of FF.net, but I think it has become worse lately. And I´m not sure I would have been "good enough" for Stories of Arda, without my wonderful beta! I´ve read fics for over a year, and even if I did not know what to select at the beginning, I think there is more "crap" there now than a year ago. More people are writing (especially movieverse fics) now, of course with the popularity for the films.

They could use some more ways to select what to read, though. More categories e.x.
