Seems a lot to me but I'm not sure I'll make that many!
Hi @Lunarlauncher. Glad to have you here. Litopia has a lot more to offer than simply posting work and receiving critique, which is why we like people to stick around for a while and participate first.
If you haven't done so, I'd encourage you to read @AgentPete's Prime Directive. It explains who we are and what we hope members get out of being here. Please feel free to ask any questions.
And once again, welcome!

Welcome
I vouch for that too, would love to see some of your work.
A problem shared is a problem halved as they say.
And believe me us writers have plenty.

YA mystery adventure although having a gander at this forum would suggest a concern over my dialogue writing coming across as tell and not show when it should be the other way round
Ah, that old chestnut. I think it was the knowledgeable @Carol Rose who explained it as: "demonstrate" = show.
Demonstrate their feelings etc, not tell.
Do you read much YA? There is so much good stuff out there.
