How'd You Find This Site? - Page 89

m4m · 01-18-2012, 07:11 AM

I was googling for "beware of scams" publishers and found this site!

Although this is my very first post, this forum has been extremely helpful! I finally joined today!

Vornad · 01-19-2012, 09:25 AM

I was searching for possible publishers when I found this place ... can't seem to find my way out now LOL

uncommonspirit · 01-19-2012, 08:45 PM

I noticed that AW was listed on two blogrolls as I was reading several writer's blogs. I grew curious and thought that I'd check this place out. I don't belong to many writing communities as yet and would not mind finding one or two more to hang out at. So far, I find AW to be extremely active and holding useful information. I look forward to getting to know everyone better as time goes by.

Eli Hinze · 01-22-2012, 07:44 AM

I've come across this site quite a few times from looking up writing info on the web. I've been reading things from this site for quite a while now. I thought it was high time I joined!

Brii Taylor · 01-23-2012, 12:31 AM

The first time I came across here (I think) I was looking for a good way to knock someone out using a chemical. It was very helpful. The second time I found my way across here I was looking for Morphine experiences. I have written a scene, you see, and I wanted to know if what I had done was accurate, me never having had anything stronger than a prescription-strength ibuprofen for pain. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Hello I am new to all of this. I was at a dialogue workshop when the speaker mentioned absolutewrite.com I decided to take a look and found the forums as well so here I am.

Kiel · 01-23-2012, 11:34 PM

I was told about the site by site member AbielleRose on twitter

hansenmv · 01-26-2012, 04:27 AM

I did a search on "scagnetti tarantino" .

Carmine · 01-26-2012, 05:23 AM

I wanted to find a supportive community of writers. I googled "creative writing forums" and ended up here.

TeamJulia · 01-26-2012, 07:03 AM

Hi. I needed to get myself started on the query writing process. I heard from a writer buddy of mine that this was the best place to do it. So here I am.

quix689 · 01-27-2012, 06:31 AM

I found a link to this site on the NaNoWriMo forums, and after several people posted comments mentioning it, I decided to go see what it was like for myself. I mostly just read other people's comments, but now I'm working on actually becoming a part of the community.

amongtheclouds · 01-28-2012, 10:29 AM

I did a google search for "beta readers." I'd tried friends, LJ, and facebook with no luck and a lot of fanfic options. Now I'm here and glad to find more than just betas.

How'd You Find This Site?

Quite easy.

KateM · 01-30-2012, 04:09 AM

I found this on Google...I'm stumbling through trying to get published and found some really helpful stuff on here!

Lexxie · 01-30-2012, 05:48 PM

I found AW on two different blogs during the January Author / Reviewer debacle. Then I lurked for a while, and even if I'm not a writer, I figured it would still be nice to actually interact with people instead of just hiding in a corner to observe.

_Billy_ · 01-31-2012, 02:11 PM

Through blogs and chat forums

Kehengto · 02-01-2012, 04:26 AM

I was actually doing a google search (like most people who found this do I guess) and I found this site. Irronically I was looking to find out how far an average person can travel on foot for a book I'm working on with a few collaborators.

I'm not entirely new to forums, as I've been on another message board where we did an RPG. There I found my love for writing and now am looking to take it further.

lwallace · 02-01-2012, 04:43 AM

A warm welcome to JaimeJohnesee, m4m, Brii Taylor, TikaaniM, and Kehengto. Glad you found your way here. I happened to come this way by referral--and am glad I did.

Regards, All.

thecoparazzi · 02-01-2012, 05:59 PM

Im going to assume that the whole blogging thing comes down to mutual understanding that if I follow your blog you follow mine just to get the networking going.

Renee Silvana · 02-01-2012, 06:04 PM

I found this site while researching publishers and came across the "Bewares" forum. I still spend most of my time there, lurking.

randi.lee · 02-01-2012, 06:05 PM

Someone mentioned this site on a writing blog (wish I could remember the name of it now...) so I decided to check it out and fell in love-!

DPreston · 02-09-2012, 01:08 AM

It's so long ago that I hardly remember. But I'm almost certain I heard about this site one weekend on BBC Breakfast News.

Jadeyn M · 02-09-2012, 01:14 AM

I was looking at questions on Yahoo! Answers and found that somebody had been asking for a good critique site. This was suggested, so I decided to check it out, finally.

pylot · 02-09-2012, 11:59 AM

hi. i found AW through a google search on copyright ownership and trademarking of fantasy creatures/races. i found a link to a thread more specifically about orcs. the thread answered many other queries on my mind also.
although registering was messy for me i still find the ease of viewing and posting a rare novelty. glad i fell onto this one.

C. R. Reaves · 02-11-2012, 02:38 PM

I was googling for writing markets for anthologies and found one of the subforums a few weeks ago. xD I finally talked myself into joining.
