Hi Nyna..

Just dropped by to wish you on this festive occasion.

Heyya N, 😛 Happy New Year. 15 days has gone by so I guess now we all have an idea how this year is gonna be😆 I hope you had a great NYE party and good days ahead.

Dear Riya, - so far so good - and I hope the rest of the year goes well too. I do not party on NYE, as usual I sleep though the date change😆, but I do hope you had a great time

I am trying to quit this site, or lessen my time here. As you can see I have failed 😆 I hardly log in but stalk most of the time, ugh I am not trying hard enough to quit. Baby steps, I guess. My old friends have left ages ago, newer ones are in other sites. I have no patience for IF brand of melodrama or moral policing. I stalked a lot for Big Boss 😆 have you ever watched that show? A mess, you should try 😆

My friends have left too (not that I have any of my online friends out here) but the ones that I have met - the writers have moved on to Wattpad, a few seem to have given up on this site and still others rarely make a visit. I too am not active - well I was never active on any other forums but SR and WC, though I did visit the Bollywood forum for a couple of weeks - it is madness and I wonder how people have the energy to spew such vitriolic content or to go around preaching so I do get your point. Big Boss - I do not have the energy to watch that show - I cannot recognise anyone there, and even if you did - a few days of watching them "raw" and you lose faith in humanity (they say that everything is staged, but still...) So I am going to waddle in and out of IF- specifically these two forums, till they shut them down😊So please do stay

On a different note, start of the year brought me a surprisingly happy news. I am trying, I hope this new marks a new beginning in life and something productive happens. I am almost desperate at this moment.

All my wishes for you, may everything work out the way you want and may you always find happiness

Btw that siggie looks great, like a movie poster. Is that for Penfolk? She DCed the story? Damn.

It is nice (I am quite proud of it, took quite a bit of my time and I almost scrapped it as I could not tie in all the elements) Yup it is for Penfolk and she discontinued it here. She did state that she would continue it in Wattpad, so do pm her and she would send the link.

I read about the asthma, so sorry to hear that. Please take care of yourself.

Trying to - I am now a strong proponent of "erring on the side of caution" - even a whimper and I sort of take a preventive dose- I really do not have the energy to put up with another attack

Better? Do you know my college faculties are absolutely inhuman, I am convinced today.

They aren't ready to consider my attendance despite of knowing that I am suffering through this deadly condition. Can you believe this? Such a mental torture!

Wow... The list is incredible nayna!!

And I needed to search out for sites where they do allow posting of stories and provide learning - ( I have had mixed reviews about Wattpad) and this was "pay dirt"

Starting clockwise - from the Wattpad icon- the sites are as follows:

Wattpad (mostly young and young adults)

Twitter (really need to think outside the box)

Tumbler

Smashwords

Shortbreadstories (with an option to turn them to audiobooks)

Medium (I am a member here- only as a reader though, yet to get a proper feel of this place)

Scribd

Goodreads (did not know that you could post stories here - I am a member and love the reviews)

Figment

Fiction Press

Fanfiction. net

Facebook - I have not logged on for ages and it is most likely to stay that way

Authonomy - owned by Harper Collins

Writers Cafe (heard about it, never ventured there)

So there are quite a few sites that I can now visit and see how they are. Fan fiction is fun to write but then is sort of limiting so...

Nyna, try Inkitt. That is one place which will not disappoint you like Wattpad!

Where is ao3 on the list of ff sites? Ao3 is brilliant (archive of our own) there was another site for doctor who stories, teaspoon and open mind. Fanfic.net is good but shit place for trollers, ao3 has better access to engage with readers and block hate I guess . Issue is unless the show (sadly most are based on some show or movie unlike Wattpad) the reach of story would be limited. Lol N you should try WP, many dislikes it but maybe it will be good for you.
