Only to add a note to the others voiced here. The crap that goes on with and among the staff here is not worth your or anyone else's time.

"But wait," you think. "Some of the plot and writing is pretty good, and I like writing with some of these people. I can just keep myself to myself and not get involved with staff."

Okay. Possible. But you should know, then, that how the staff operates is going to affect you no matter what. Because the staff does not respect or bother to uphold the site rules if they do not wish to do so. They WILL censor your writing. You will be told directly, change or remove this material or you will not be allowed to post. Rules meant to keep everyone agreeable and moving along will be totally disregarded in some circumstances and applied unjustly in others.

Can you keep out of the petty, immature interpersonal stuff? Maybe. But don't fool yourself. At TNI, you would be operating under the direction of a group of selfish autocrats for whom freedom, justice, and simple harmony are not priorities and are often disregarded inconveniences.
