I received a previous one on behalf of a client that didn’t make such an outrageous claim, and for a moment it gave me pause for thought… writers do sometimes reach out to other writers, after all. Lyse is right, we haven't even started to feel...

"I've written over seventy novels" was the place I'd hit delete. If you've written that many novels, and I've never heard of you, and you've no awards to show for it, then you're either a shitty bot, or a shitty writer. It makes them sound like a...

Welcome! I was born in Eau Claire! Left in 1966, though and now in Berlin. It's a great community. Enjoy. With the Lab, you will want to dive in and offer critiques. After you've offered five you are able to post your own work.

Incredible! True colours, right there.

Only answer possible. Dear Fecking Feck maggot, fecking go feck yourself, you fecking failed con artist feckwad.

Just to check/confirm, emojis should be OK in posts now and not generate an error...📘🔥

Thanks, John. I’ve tracked the issue down to those emojis in the scam message, the forum database wasn’t comfortable with them. Now updating the character set on the server, shouldn’t happen again after that.

Hello Marta! First, go to Cafe Life (you're here already, congrats!) Café Life Create a new thread, select the prefix “Welcome – I’m new here” and introduce yourself! You’ll find folk will reply very nicely. Some useful links: How to use the...

Heya! 👋 I joined and have no clue how to navigate this mouse maze. I'd eventually like to meet a few authors and swap critiques but I'd really like to figure out how this site works. The forums seem straightforward in terms of discussions. But...

I’ve received several emails in recent days, all structured as the one below, received this morning. While I can’t tell you exactly what sort of scam this is – it’s got “scam” written all over it. My thoughts follow. OK, so now an analysis of...

Nice work @Sedayne and @mickleinapickle -well done.
