My Introduction to this site

#1
I'm a writer, a storyteller. That's all I want to do. And I want to find like-minded creative people as well, and collaborate or discuss ideas.

So, as a creative and intuitive person, when I come to a forum to do just that, I dont want to be confused by the layout. That's never a good sign. I want to be able to go to a site, go to the board with the label I'm looking for, and start writing. Just throwing that out there.

That said, I'm going to be very critical of any website or forum that's #2 in a search engine. See, there are two different types of people in charge of things: those who are just in charge because they like being in charge, and people who want to improve something. The latter types usually end up being overtaken by the former.

Since I just got here, I have no idea what kind of people run this site, if at all. But I am hoping that it's the latter, and that they can take some constructive criticism and make changes to improve the site if needbe. You can ignore me if you want, or boot me for being too "aggressive", but ultimately that will not benefit the site. I just want to help, and I'm tired of being on sites led by people who refuse to make simple corrections for the sake of ego.

So I'll give this place a look, try to write some fan fic, some head-cannon, and we'll see what happens. If I rant about lack of creativity, it's because I see potential. If I disappear, it's because I've lost interest and see no potential here.

Hi, I'm the Empathic Storyteller.

Welcome to Tff, leave your sanity at the door...Is that still our catch phrase?

I think our new greeting became:
So, I'm not sure if you've heard, but TFF prides itself on quality fanfiction. Or, alternately, well written crack.

The last thing we pride ourselves on is ripping everything else to shreds.

Be smart, be funny, or prepare your anus. We do not care which.
But that's mostly for people who can't write and act like they're god's gift to storytelling. We've yet to see if he has any writing chops, so sanity at the door and a complimentary mustache it is.

As for you, emphathetic.storyteller, I have one question for you- You say you're going to be critical, and that you're going to tell us exactly what we need to fix and how to fix it. That's all well and good, but you skipped a step- Why should we care what you think? We don't know who you are, or why your opinions even matter, or even if what you think needs fixed is actually broken.


I'll give you the same advice I give everyone else that comes here- settle down and lurk for a while. We have a large number of strong personalities that are both very good writers and have very few fucks to give about people dismissing board etiquette, and our rules explicitly allow ripping idiots a new one for a reason.

That said, welcome to TFF. If you do manage to find your footing, we're a pretty awesome, tight-knit place.

Give the young 'on a few chances. The resulting competition will be good for the rest of us.

He's already ready in my crosshairs, say the word and I'll get him in the writing arm.
