Had been lurking around this site for sometime now,decided might as well join it.Technically speaking,my venture into this website was more on narcissistic ground after a friend of mine recommended this short piece.Being the typical skeptic I am, I really didn't want to give any sort of fanfiction a chance (why would I waste my time reading the half assed delusions of some unsatisfied teenager who was dissapointed about the eventual shipping in the story while I can indulge myself in more grandiose tales of Tolkien,Kafka and Cervantes after all!!) until I sat down and read it.It made me realize that even this type of creativeness can work if executed properly and the avid reader residing inside me garnered an unquenchable thirst for good stories in this site.

After that,I have been lurking around different fandom looking for stories that would pick my interest.Though the ones that I have come across have substantially large amount of stories dedicated to them,I have to agree that Sturgeon's Law is pretty substantially applicable in regards to actual quality content.Granted its a free website and most people here write stories basically as a source of enjoyment but sometimes,I do come across such masterpieces that really makes me think that at least they should pretend to even try to put some effort in writing their stories.I know I can't take the moral high ground here because I myself haven't submitted/uploaded a story of mine own until now but,hey,a quality work garners respect across all quarters.

Since its a site about writing,here are some of my favorite quotes for inspiration to all the earnest writers out there ;)

“All readers come to fiction as willing accomplices to your lies. Such is the basic goodwill contract made the moment we pick up a work of fiction.”
—Steve Almond

“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”
—Ernest Hemingway

“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.”
—Virginia Woolf

“The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.”
—Samuel Johnson

“Plot is people. Human emotions and desires founded on the realities of life, working at cross purposes, getting hotter and fiercer as they strike against each other until finally there’s an explosion—that’s Plot.”
—Leigh Brackett

“The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.”
—Andre Gide
