Aww, cripes; here goes...
Greetings, everyone.
Been lurking off & on for a while, even tried the chat room a couple times, but I discovered I have even less to add to an online conversation than I do to one with people I actually sort of know.
Anyhow, never having been a part of one, I thought I'd try joining the community. And although I can't afford it, I really, really think I need to upgrade to **Premium** soon. Let's just say that I've been... disappointed... with what's available in some of the online writing forums.
So, I hope to offer critiques to some engaging work--that has actually been proofread by its author (!) --and, following that, post some of my own work. I get the impression that rarely will punches be pulled, and that no one is likely to drop a piece due to a few profanities uttered by 12-year-old aliens.
As for the rest of the forum thing, well, I'll give it a shot. But bear with me-- I'm really not good at it. (Plus, I've got this bear with me...)

Hey there,
Thanks!
I think I found the site when I heard 'Choke' was gonna be a movie, and was searching to see if it would be playing anywhere within a hundred miles. (It wasn't.)
The more I look around, the more I'm drooling over the Premium areas.

drool on, brother, drool on.
then sink your teeth in and have a bite.
i'm assuming you already read choke? if not i'd really recommend you do. i got my hands on a screener of the movie a couple months ago and wouldnt really want anyone to watch it before they read it. the most amazing passages and bits of victor just didn't come through.
One time I got soooooooooooo drunk I had double vision, I went to pee and saw two dicks so I tucked one back in and pissed myself. I was wearing beige pants. -Derek, of years gone by.
welcome to the cult, paul.
how'd you find us?
as to the premium areas, the workshop and the essays, they are gold. well worth it. i havent submitted any written pieces yet, but it's been a blast reading and helping others with their stuff, learning the whole time.
