From what I have seen of this forum, this forum is amazing.
I'm a published author. My real name is Elizabeth. I'd rather not share what my pen name is, though, because I joined this forum to have fun.
I've gotten jaded a little by the industry. I still enjoy writing, but there is so much pressure, pressure, pressure, that sometimes I just want to get away from those people and all their talks about what makes money and what doesn't and just write for fun for once. This forum seems like it will give me a lot of fun.
And it will allow me to be myself. Unfortunately, I can't be myself when posting things under my pen name because I have to constantly think about making my readers happy and making sure I never post anything that upsets any of them.
So I just want to have a place (here) where I can just write whatever (even if it's not perfect or not what the marketplace wants or whatever) and just be me. Where I can write fan-fiction sometimes and poetry and other things that I will never get published. Where I can just share things and be around some positive people. And where I am not surrounded by so much pressure.

Welcome to The Echo! Sounds like this will be a good place for you. I know a bit of what you mean about the pressure - I'm not published yet, but I'm trying to get into the industry, and goodness is it difficult. Everyone expects perfection, and that's just not a human thing. But we're pretty easy going here. What kind of fanfiction do you write?

I haven't written it in awhile, so I don't know yet. I used to write Zelda fan-fiction years ago, it was the first real story with chapters I ever wrote, so I'll probably write something based on a video game or a television show. I just want to get back to writing whatever I feel like. That's what I hope this forum will help me do.

Welcome! We're a bit of a weird bunch, and for some reason there haven't been a lot of posts lately, but if you just want to write whatever you feel like, this is a great place to do it! It's great to have you, and once again, Welcome! -Mask
