Unsurprisingly, this does exactly what it says on the tin: it’s for getting help for your writing. There are two kinds of threads in this forum: the article threads and the general help threads.

The article threads, cunningly named Grammar and Writing Style Articles, Character Articles, Plot Articles, and Miscellaneous Articles, are for posting your own articles of useful general advice about aspects of writing. For example, if you know a lot about how to use the semicolon or you have a brilliant character development technique, you could write a few paragraphs of information and post it to the appropriate thread. These threads are also for storing links to useful sites on the web; if you have any sites you’d like to see added, please PM the links to cyropi, so they can be added to the links list in the first post of the relevant thread.

The second kind of thread is where you come and ask for help with a specific question. Whether you need to know what colour Shakespeare’s hair was, the workings of a black hole or the price of chocolate biscuits in Africa, create a thread and hope there’s someone out there who knows. If you have a source of knowledge that would be better off as a thread than an article – a thread offering Latin translations is a good example – then feel free to make that too.

If you have any questions or problems, please PM cyropi.
