I was devastated when Themestream left the net. I had about 100 stories published there and about 50 people who were subscribers. I was only there for 4 months, but one of my stories was ready by over 500 people. After that, I put up my own web site at About.com, but they soon decided they weren't doing personal web sites. I'm a member at a few other writing sites similar to this one, but I do love Stories.Com best of all. Here, there are people of all walks of life. Here, our writing is treated as "works
of heart." Even when criticism is due, our members dish it out kindly.
I LOVE this site. It's what I've been looking for. I have so many things I've written and find it hard to ask my friends and family to look at it and tell me what they think. But here, I can write to my hearts content and get honest reviews. It has boosted my confidence tremendously. I love constructive criticism and really take it to heart. Thanks a million to Stories.Com and to all the wonderful people I've met so far.
I found Stories.Com as I searched the web trying to find someone to read my work. As I've sent several stories to publishers and been rejected, I just wanted to put the stories somewhere to be read until publication, which is something that I continue to strive for much like most of the writers at Stories.Com. I enjoy the diverse aspects of additions to my portfolio, such as campfires, journals, images, in and outs, mad libs. There are a lot of avenues for creativity made available which I was attracted to from the beginning. I enjoy the groups because I am able to give and receive feedback about writing and life in general.
When the Stories.Com screen comes on, I feel like I've arrived home! I put my feet up, sip my coffee and read the mail. Then check out my favourite spots, sometimes putting my own 2 cents worth in. And of course, do some very enjoyable reading, reviewing and writing, and generally just hang out for a while.
Although Stories.Com wasn't the first writing website I've come across, it's definitely the best one. None of the others have features that even come close in comparison. And while the other sites are slowly losing features, Stories.Com is gaining them! Also, the people here are great... I have yet to receive a flame from anyone here. Stories.Com is the greatest writing site on the net!
For a long time I tried to write fiction, but with no one to read it and offer feedback, I gave up. Then I accidentally discovered Stories.Com, and I was able to write again! I love getting comments! Comments help me so much, now I know what I need to pay more attention to when I write. I also love reading other people's work. I have been on Stories.Com for two months, and I love it so much! Stories.Com is by far, the best writing community on the Internet. I have finally found the creative outlet I needed. Thank you so much!
I had my first published credit at the age of 15 when a short story of mine was published. A year later, two of my early poems were published. I have had (mostly) difficulty getting stuff published since then. Then, I found this site. I can't believe that such a site exists. I also find it hard to believe that I didn't discover this site sooner. I used to be a member of themestream.com until its demise in mid-April of 2001, and I thought I would never find a site like that...until this year, when I discovered
Stories.Com. I hope that this site and other sites like it remain in existence for a very long time.
I've been a member here for quite a while, but I never really dove in until last week. I haven't been off the internet since, and my family is begging like crazy to use the phone! Too bad! ;)
Since I came across Stories.Com, I can not help but to be
addicted. There are new things happening all the time,
new features, new writers, new amazing things to read.
This site has encouraged me to write more, read more
and appreciate new kinds of writing I normally thought I
would have never been interested in. There are so
many great writers on this site, that it keeps you
pushing yourself to the next level of writing.
I swear by Stories.Com. I am so addicted to this site it's amazing. I finally found a place i can put my writings, and not feel embarassed. In the 3 months I have been here, I've seen helpful people and some angels. I was given an upgrade, became a preferred author, and made more friends than I can count. Everyone is so helpful and willing to go out of their ways to provide assistance. The contest, groups, and so many other things are great. My fellow authors, be them black, yellow, blue, purple, or red, are fantastic.
Stories.Com is like an old friend. You need to be regularly in touch so that you don't miss anything that's going on, and you must give it lots of love and attention so that you can stay close. Stories.Com has enhanced my life tremendously and if , for any reason I am unable to logon, even for one single day, I miss it! A special thank you to Mr. Storymaster and Ms. Storymistress for all that they do and continue to do for the site and its members.
My goddaughter, Michelle, recommended that I check out this site when we heard the news that WrittenByMe was about to shut down. I've been here since the last part of February, and I'm still totally overwhelmed by it all!!! So many different directions to go. I feel like a kid with a large sum of money (perhaps, a million dollars) who has been let off at a shopping center that includes among its attractions: a toy store, a candy store, a pizza parlor, an arcade, and an amusement park. Perhaps, Mall Of America--perhaps, something even larger than that!!! Maybe, like the same kid who also has a private plane for commuting between
Mall Of America, Disneyland, Disney World, every Six Flags on the map, other amusement parks and malls, and even to other countries to enjoy some of the same kinds of attractions!!! Even now, I've only begun to describe the thrill of all of the wonderful directions to go here with friendly and helpful people all over the place!!! Although I also write for other sites, I consider Stories.Com to be my number one writing site, and I don't see that changing very soon, if ever!!!
I was another lost sheep who discovered Stories.Com by accident. I was trawling the internet looking for something decent to read, when a search engine threw up this name. It was exactly what I was looking for, and I've never looked back. The thing that continues to amaze me is the sheer quality of writing available to read. I don't think I've ever read a badly written story on the site. I'm not saying I havn't read stories I didn't like, but even in the ones I didn't find interesting personally I can still recognize a ridiculously high level of talent. Cheers Stories.Com.
I found Stories.Com about six months ago. It was divine revelation. I have tried my hand at writing for most of my life, but before discovering this site, I didn't have the chance to really share it with the world. Stories.Com has helped me improve my writing, communicate with other writers, and push my boundaries as a writer. Without it, I wouldn't know what to make of the words I put to paper.
January 1, 2003 – A year ago, I became a Stories.Com Moderator, but today, as I take my normal tour through the site and check out what is new, I find myself celebrating my anniversary as a Writing.com Moderator. With the start of a new year change is inevitable, I think of Stories.Com as a tiny town where the word spread quickly, that it was, indeed, the best writing community to be part of. Now, I can’t help but smile, as our tiny town has grown into a this wondrous city befitting of its new name Writing.Com. / First testimonial: Having written for many years 'for my eyes only', it was an unrealistic dream to think that anything I was doing was of any value. That is until, I ventured onto a site called Stories.Com late one night (alright it was early morning). Anyway, within five minutes, I was convinced that this was a cool place to be. It took no time at all to get acquainted with people on the site, and see the possibilities for growth. Now, after being here for eight months, I couldn't think of anywhere else to be. Stories.Com gave me a place to call home, people to call friends, and a portfolio to keep it all neat and tidy.
You know what? This site has changed me! I am a better person because of Stories.Com. My life is one of struggle being a single hard working and home schooling mom but with
Stories.Com I have found great pleasure and ease in my life. I am proud that others have enjoyed my works. That says it all because before my cancer I don't think the word proud was in my vocabulary. Thank you for sprouting wings and being such special angels to create such a wonderful
home away from home. Someday my goal is to become a premium
member though so far this place has surpassed every desire
I've had for writing and it's made me whole. Thank you
again, God bless you.
I found Stories.Com about a week ago. Since then, I have upgraded myself, purchased gift points, and posted several
items. I plan on going nowhere else. As a child, I would write little stories, and make up plot lines for my favorite
cartoons. As a teenager, I abandoned writing, unless I was forced to do it for a class. When I started college, I got
too swept up in other things to ever write by choice. Now, as a college Senior, I find it a neccessary part of life
again! I was having a conversation with a friend, who asked me what my passion was. Sadly, I couldn't think of any. I told him I was passionless, and he told me that was impossible. After more thought, I realized what my passon used to be - writing. He told me that real passions don't ever go away, and I see now that he was right. I love Stories.Com. I've always been shy with my work, and I don't show it to hardly anyone. Here, I am a faceless
name. I can get feedback without feeling like I have put myself in a vulnerable position. I feel that after being a
member for a while, I will eventually be able to show my work to people in my own life. Thank you, Stories.Com, for
bringing back my "passion"!
Stories.Com keeps me going. It is a place to tell people about myself and show them just what I can do and get feedback for it. This place has accelerated my writing talent beyond what I thought I'd be able to reach. This place is a dream that each writer and artist holds in his hands. Let this dream grow. Thank you all so very much for making this my home.
I stumbled across this site looking for somewhere to publish my work. Until that point, only a few (unfortunate!) friends had seen my work. Now I am getting feedback and reviews of my work from all sorts of people. Anyone can love their own work but to have someone critique and review it is something else. Without this my work would never change or improve. I've even joined a group which is great as it gives a wider audience to my work. I cannot now imagine writing anything without putting it here on this site. Thanks to all those who have reviewed and commented on my work.
I'm almost one year old in this site. April 19 would mark the day I first stumbled upon this incredible haven for ideas-Stories.Com. I could never give enough thanks to this site that not only improved my writing but also gave me a handful of new friends and mentors. Truly, anyone would learn to appreciate the art of writing by becoming a member of this site. It is through Stories.Com that I discovered that the depth of ideas is IMMEASURABLE.
Being along there in years, I have found Stories.Com to be a "best friend" - I love to write, and this has given me the
opportunity to meet some great people who share my interest and love of writing. I wish to publicly thank the anonymous
person who gave me the gift of a 6 month premium membership! It was something I couldn't afford to do myself, but was hoping for! God does answer prayers, He gave me people like you! Thank you all!
I found this site by accident just over a year ago, and have been hooked ever since. I have made some wonderful friends on here, and enjoy every moment on here. I have even made this my home page. I would like to thank you one and all for reading my work, and for sharing your work with me. There are some outstanding authors on this site, all of them willing to help each other. I have had many many reviews, and not one of them has ever been a bad one. Always helpful. Thank you Stories.Com, you are the very best.
I have been with Stories.Com for over a year. Most of the first year I would visit irregularly, to add a bit to my portfolio or to find something to read. I have been writing for years, as a stress release, as a way to express my thoughts and feelings, as a way for me to think things through, but I have not shared my creations with others till I found Stories.Com. Now I not only share with others that love writing as much as I do, but I also find more then I can find time in a day, to read. I am so thankful for the two that started this wonderland. Being able to come here, as just another small, insignificant person in this vast world of unrecognized authors, who are transformed, by being authors here, into recognized and important people who others enjoy sharing time with. I am a hermit, but here I find the contact of other humans that I still crave from time to time. In this safe haven, that I have come to love. Thank you all, for sharing this awesome place with me.
Six months ago, after twenty-five years of not writing, I picked up a pencil again and found an empty to page to store my thoughts. That journal was the home for my words for a little while, until quite by accident, I found this place. Nothing has been quite the same for me since. My words have a home. One filled with people who love words as much as I do and who are willing to share their words and stories with others. Nothing could have prepared me for the way I feel about this place, nor could anything prepare me if I were to lose it. I'm just thankful that two wonderful people had a desire to build their dream and share it with me. Thank you!
Thank you Stories.Com!!! Today I have been with you for a month. And I couldn't be happier. I never thought of myself as much of a
writer before joining. But since becoming a member my confidence has grown so much. I have also been trying out a lot of the different
types of writing that Stories.Com provides and it has helped me to grow. I love the community and have made a few friends. This is
a wonderful site and I look forward to meeting new people and reading many more wonderful works of talent. Thanks Again
Stories.Com!
