I'm slightly buzzed that I wasn't informed about this place earlier.
'tis I, Lys, from the DF forums, former proprietor of the Story Discussion Thread in that forum's Stories section. I've been writing for about three years, starting with small pieces and eventually working up to novel/novella length pieces. And I'm pretty proud of it too.
I haven't really written anything proper in months, not since I stopped working on Kyrie. I really ought to pick that up again sometime...
EDIT: A question, if I may. Does a work necessarily have to be finished in order to be posted here? Or can we post work-in-progresses?

Lys, I would think that you could, so long as it's in the right section.

Well it seems this has become the main discussion thread so here it is:
There is a time bomb implanted in my abdomen and if it's not defused by the bomb squad soon I'm dead.
And by time bomb I mean appendix.
And by defuse I mean removed.
And by bomb squad I mean surgeons.
The next time you see me, I'll by lying in a hospital bed on my laptop with nothing to do except read, write, and trull the interwebs. See you on the other side!

*35 minutes and one appendix removal later...* I okay! It feels like my stomach is perpetually cramping, even on the morphine and codeine it still hurts like a sumbitch, but I'm okay! I kind of imagine this is how periods feel like, and if so I really feel sorry for you Jassy XD I should be out of the hospital tomorrow afternoon. At least they gave me popsicles

Hello,
I'm here because of Flapjack.
I've been writing for a while now, if I recall correctly my fascination truly peeked thanks to one of my teachers, Mr. Jeff. My had a way of entertaining me and it brought great joy to be in his lessons, he would always tell us of his personal stories about his father, whom has passed away. He inspired me to try writing, I began slowly at first, with short stories mainly which were (admittedly) repetitive and dull. I found it fun, it became a passion for a while. Then, he disappeared.
Just like that, after the end of the school year I never saw him again, I can only presume he was fired as I have yet to see a teacher be dismissed in such a way. If he had an issue then he would have contacted the school and there would be some kind of notification about it. It was depressing at first, he was my favorite teacher, the stallion you put me down a path that has resulted in me meeting all of you wonderful ponies. I thank him for what he has done with all of my heart.
Maybe one day I'll continue on, if you poison me with alcohol of course.
I've read plenty of novels ranging in many different genres. My favorite book by far has to be The Never ending Story. In terms of my ability, I agree that there is much to improve. My characters tend to lack diversity and they feel like the same thing when I come to re-read my work and that puts me off. Also, at times my vocabulary feels limited even when I know its not. Another thing I really need to work on is the dialogue.
I talk wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much.
Why am I introducing myself to people who already know me... Hmmmm.....
