Thinking back, I don't even remember how I heard about Fiction Press - I think it was because I saw a link for it while looking at a KH comedy spoof. Even so, I'm glad I started an account on Fiction Press; it's free, and it lets me post my stuff - see my sig - with little complaint, though the process can be a little cumbersome at times.

Although now that I think about it, I haven't really explored the community there as much as I have here on TV Tropes. Anybody know what their forums are like?

Their forums are rather messy and decentralized. Basically, any user can set up a forum which can have a bunch of threads within it (kind of like our second-level forums). Some are popular, some are not so. Generally the popular ones are lame, at least for me. A few are interesting.

What strikes me about the forums are two things: 1) Navigating them is a real pain. There are several sub categories and within those there are several pages that can't be navigated easily. 2) People name their forum on their own and this means that I have no idea what each is about. This only makes 1) worse.

I'd agree with both of those criticisms.

The fact that it hasn't been updated since April worries me. Are they oneshots or what?

Wellllllll....they are chapters of a story I am working on. I was planning on submiting more if people got interested, but..people never got interested.

They can function as one shots though.

And "Ghosts" is a true one shot.

[up]@ Latia Posted a review on 'Ghosts.' That was awesome. Now I have to write something myself to feel less inadequate...

Here's my Fiction Pres page. Mostly I use it for whatever non-Tasakeru stuff I come up with, but for some reason I'm still really proud of The Bus Ride To Eternity.

I have some stories on Fiction Press that seem to get a reasonable amount of traffic. One in particular got more than 700 views last month (all the others put together got about 100).

I only use it because I thought up a huge story while supposedly studying for final exams, and when the exams ended I wanted to write it somewhere where people could read it.

My profile is http://www.fictionpress.com/u/684432/Rekhyet if you want to see any of my stories.

Thanks for bringing this site to my attention, folks. Well, reminding is more like it. I had it bookmarked a long time ago, but I completely forgot about it. Either way, it's good to know Tropers frequent (and review) stories there.

Just made my account, but it's locked for a bit more. When I can I'll look over and review stories from here.

I'm working on a series right to post on Fictionpress.com. I'm not going to put it up there until I have at least 5 chapters done. I'm trying my best not for it to be among the "crud" crowd.

Is this bland (There are some things in there that won't make sense because some scenes were cut out, so don't worry about that. I just want to know if the writing style is engrossing enough, or if people grow weary after the first five paragraphs)?

If this is not a place for asking this, could you direct me to some place that is?

I have an account at Fictionpress, but it was such a bitch uploading stories that I sort of gave up.

[up]It hasn't been a problem for me.

On another note, I've got a story of my own and on this forum. Unfortunately I've only got one reader here on these forums, his Highness the Border Prince. I've also got no reviews yet. It's at 11 chapters now, so read the first few if you're interested.

I've made my own story here, actually. I'd appreciate reviews and critiques.

I tried to use it for a while but found it too hard to navigate. I'm somewhat surprised that any of the stories get lots of reads, considering that you basically throw them into a genre pile or two and hope for the best.

Looking for some stories?

Might as well pimp my page as well. Mostly flash fiction nothing more than 8K words. Would greatly appreciate any feedback or critique.
