BECOME A READER

As a reader, you are allowed to read some of the stories and are encouraged to leave feedback. However; you will not receive membership to gathering, which is exclusive to the writers. The writers are also given the privilege to pick and choose which readers they want to grant access to their stories, as they are understandably not all comfortable with allowing just anyone to read their work.

• Please create a seperate journal for exclusive use in this community.
• Please leave feedback on everything you read. It's only polite, respectful and fair that you do so after the writers have worked so hard.

YOUR NAME: JJ
YOUR JOURNAL:

polly
YOUR AGE RANGE: 18-25
YOUR INTERESTS: A great range of genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, historical, thrillers, romance, young adult, mystery, action-adventure. Possibly the only ones I'm not too interested in are horror and stories with very dark plotlines, but I'm open-minded and will give anything a go if it seems engaging.
ARE YOU A WRITER?: I'd like to think so, but I've not finished a story since I wrote them for English class at school - without the threat of a bad grade, I can't seem to find the motivation.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN?: I noticed the ads for the comm right from the beginning and kept my eye on it. I'm planning to eventually join the community as a writer, but with life as busy as it is at the moment for me, the idea for my own story nowhere near solidified, and my curiosity and interest in the story summaries posted, I thought joining as a reader may be the best way into the community. I reckon I would give good enough feedback too.

YOUR NAME: Kat.
YOUR JOURNAL:

foxay.
YOUR AGE RANGE: 18-25.
YOUR INTERESTS: I really like almost every genre - comedy, romance, thriller, suspense, mystery, gothic, historical, non-fiction, biographies, and those random books like Catcher in the Rye and The Perks of Being A Wallflower. I am an avid reader and I like to read almost anything as long as it seems like it would be enjoyable.
ARE YOU A WRITER?: Yes. I've been writing since middle school. I usually just write short stories that pop up in my head randomly, but I've been wanting to try my hand at a full-length story for ages.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN?: I want to join mainly because I love both reading and writing stories. I think it would be a great experience to be able to help those with their stories, and give them some critiques. I'm pretty critical when it comes to other people's writing (but in a good way. It's all constructive) and I like being honest. I also want to join as a reader because I hope to eventually join as a writer. I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head but I can't seem to decide on one just yet to commit to.

YOUR NAME: Valerie.
YOUR JOURNAL:

tilney.
YOUR AGE RANGE: 18-25.
YOUR INTERESTS: I love all kinds of stories really- romance, adventure, fantasy, drama. My favorite kind of stories tend to be historical or fantastical in some sort of way, but I enjoy reading nearly anything that is written well. My favorite authors are Oscar Wilde, Ken Follet, Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling, and Tracey Chevalier.
ARE YOU A WRITER?: Yes, I am! When I have time, at least. A majority of my writing is through roleplaying, but I do sometimes get inspiration for a story. I would love to write a full length novel some day, actually.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO JOIN?: Because I've been considering joining the community as a writer for some time, but want to get a feel for the community first since I don't think I'd have quite enough time for being a writer here at the moment.
