I highly recommend serious authors participate in this writing community. Fanstory, in my experience, is by far the best writing community available. The reason is that it gives authors the ability to share their writing with other writers. Writing is a solitary activity. But it is important for writers to get input about their writing. The writers at Fanstory give authors feedback that they can use to improve their writing. This feedback is very important to writers because it helps them improve. What I like about Fanstory is that the feedback is generally detailed and geared towards helping the writer improve. The other benefits is that Fanstory gives authors the ability to make contacts and find publishers once they have finished the book they are working on.
