I think this is my third or fourth testimonial . . I've lost count. I've been here over three years now and still can't come up with the right words to describe what this site has done for me! A site this good begs you to come back when you've been away for awhile, and no matter where you go it's nice to know that your friends are here. There's never a dull moment at Writing.Com!
Thank you, Stories.Com! I've been here about a week and a half. I've made friends through interactive stories. I've won third place in a contest. I've gotten gift point gifts that more than doubled my total. I've posted some of my work and recieved constructive, supportive comments from the community. I can't keep away from this site! I don't know what I did before I found you guys, but I know what I'll be doing long after. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!
Since finding Stories.Com, I have been so engrossed in reading and writing, that I have completed forgotten how I found you. Finding Stories.Com has been such an enlightening experience for me. I've recommended Stories.Com to several of my friends. Three of them joined, but only one has gotten around to submitting stories. But the others will come around. The folks on here have been so helpful. If you teach young children in church or Sunday school, check out grandmapenny's portfolio. My grandchildren have taught me so much about what helps them learn. I'd like to share this with you. To all of Stories.Com I send my heartfelt thanks!
After chancing on a link to Stories.Com, in less than an hour I was putting my work in a portfolio as a Registered Author. Soon, I began to meet other people here and I like to say that I've found an extended family here that I didn't even know I had. But the best part of all is that I'm having fun and writing my fool head off!!!
I didn't really hear about Stories.Com; I was just surfing the internet one day and decided to see if there was a website called Stories.Com. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that the website would be so wonderful. Every single feature of the site is a feature I enjoy to the maximum. It's wonderful!!!
It has been said that "the pen is mighter than the sword". This site has proven that to be true in more ways than one. I am so happy to have found a site that I can channel my creative abilities, pick people's brains, challenge people's opinions or just give them something good to read! In addition I am able to fulfill my passion of writing, first of all for myself and secondly for those that like to read! Thanks, Stories.Com. Shakespeare would be proud. 
I had long been searching for a forum for my writing to be seen and rated, and I am rejuvinated now that I have found Stories.Com. I look forward to reading other authors' work and getting feedback on my own.
Stories.Com is where I come when I seek comfort and solace... after I log in, I sense life and comradeship, and excitement wells up. I have been a writer in my mind since I was four years old. My thoughts have always talked to me and demanded recognition but only within the past five years have I acknowledged their insistence and allowed them to speak. At Stories.Com, I've found people who understand my writing and are willing to honestly review it. I met soul mates, read stories and poems that put the library shelves to shame, and feel a sense of belonging. Thank you Story Master and Story Mistress and the staff for creating a free literary paradise.
Over a year ago, a friend sent me an email with the link to this site. I took a look, figured it would be interesting, and had signed up and posted my first item within 10 minutes. Almost instantly, my work was being reviewed and rated--I couldn't believe it! Now, Stories.Com is a bit of an obsession for me. I've made several new friends and I've found many pieces of writing that have just blown me away. There is so much talent here! Thank you for making such a great site.
Thanks to my wonderful instructor at Virtual University; Stories.Com is my home station. It's so cool to be able to come here anytime I want and find everything I need to read a marvelous new book or start one of my very own in my free, very impressive portfolio provided by Stories.Com for its registered members. But what's even better is the easy access to a whirlwind of forums, contest and discussion groups that are all reader-writer friendly and any problem you might have can be solved because of the friendly (authors) and (web-host). I know I'm going on too much but I always seem to log out of this wonderful site....wanting more!
I was introduced to Stories.Com only a week or so ago by an online friend and poet. Since that time I have spent hours reading and reviewing. I even began writing in my journal again after a long hiatus. My chat friends have probably been wondering if I died, ha ha. Thank you Minstrel for telling me about stories. Now I will never run out of interesting reading.
Never ever have I felt the freedom I have here... this is the ultimate place to expose the feelings and emotions that I have experienced in this life without feeling as if I have stuck my neck on the chopping block. Thanks to all of those who have taken time out of their busy lives to share a moment of their time reading the words I've assembled. Once again thanks, Stories.Com!

Stories.Com allows me to post my stuff and receive almost instant feedback! It gives me confidence and advice, and I have even been donated two months' upgraded membership by generous people. The gift point system is fab, the surveys are fab, the forums are fab, the people are FAB! I love you guys, I love this place!
I just recently began to start posting my stories on the net. Although I've been doing it for the past few years, I never seem to have found the 'desire/drive' to post it in a serious and consistent manner (I know that may be grammatically incorrect, but I've no other word for it :)). I found out about Stories.Com from a friend of mine, and I was shocked to discover the differences between the other websites I used to go to and Stories.Com. Then someone just gave me a great review and I'm over the moon with it! There's something about Stories.Com that keeps me writing, and I'm glad. Whenever I don't have inspiration, I walk
around the site and see countless of other stories, all waiting and begging to be read. Stories.Com is truly one of a kind, and as soon as I get some moolah, I'm upgrading :) To all those who maintain Stories.Com, especially the
newsletter, THANK YOU! and to those visiting for the first time, have fun! There's nothing better than reading true, CREATIVE stories that you'll find here! :)
I found this site by accident when looking for something to read. I typed in 'stories' in the address bar and up came this site. I saved it to favs to look at later after mailing to a friend and forgot about it. A few days later my friend said she had joined and it was great. She advised me to enter some stories I had been sending for her amusement, so I did. That was just twenty days ago and already one of them has been awarded an 'AWARDICON'!!! I have been getting 5 star ratings and have been encouraged to write more! I recommend this site to any writer, even if the Americans do have funny accents! LOL
I joined Stories.Com a few months ago, but never took enough interest in it. I soon forgot and lost my old username and password, so, upon returning this month, I thought I had totally lost any chances at being a part of this site. But then, I created a new name and password, and finally became an interested member in the Stories.Com community. Although I have only really been active for the past few weeks, I have read so many great stories, received awesome reviews for my writing in which I never expected, and gotten to read and rate excellent pieces of work, which I hope will fuel the author to write more. I hope one day I will have the courage to write a review-I've never really been too good at that. Overall, this website and its members have opened me up to sharing my work and helping others. Thanks for that. I hope to upgrade one of these days and do many more cool things!
For many years I used to grab my pen, paper and flashlight and lock myself in my proverbial closet. I honestly believed that no one would want to read my writings. That was until a friend of mine literally turned the light on for me. That light was Stories.Com and this great website has illuminated my desires to write more and more everyday.
November 10, 2004 marks my unofficial 4-year anniversary here at Writing.Com, and boy what a part of my life it has been since then. Writing has always been a passion of mine, but that passion increased a hundredfold when I randomly typed in Stories.Com. The site drew me in from the start, and it has only grown since. No day is complete without a visit to this community. This website is more than a site, as any member will tell you. It is a close-knit group of friends, no, family who help, support and encourage their fellow writers, and encourage others to do the same. Perhaps the best thing about this site, is that we are not elevated by our abilities to write, but by our desire to help others in the community.
Stories.Com inspires reviews, invites writers, and grows everyday. What remarkable power I hold touching the lives of so many. Thank you Stories.Com for creating a community of writers. Though I may not always show it, I really enjoy this site. Keep moderating!
Let's see. What do I like about Stories.Com - just about everything! What I like most are the friends I've made here. It's a great community to develop your work in. Before this I was leery of showing anyone my writing, but now I thrive on comments given by others here. They help my writing grow, even if it takes me a bit to use the information given to me.. that's just me being lazy. Anyway! I also love the campfires. It's a great way to write a Co-authored story and I've fallen in love with them!
They're great fun and a good way to interact with other Stories.Com members! Well I think I'm done now! That's what I love about Stories.Com and I'm glad that I found this site!
I came upon this site by accident while looking for fantasy site. In a guestbook, I saw some who had an email that ended
with "stories.com". It sounded cool so I came to check it out. It wasn't quite what I expected though. It was WAY BETTER!! When I saw what this site was for I had to sign-up! It's let me show some of my stuff to more people. I love getting ratings and comments on my stuff! It makes me feel so good about what I do. It makes me feel like I'm not wasting time after all, like I'm sometimes told. This is a place where I actually fit in. I LOVE IT!!!
I am so glad that I found this site. I have been wrtting for about six years. I started when I was in the VA hospital , they told use to write out our feelings and mine happen to come out in the form of poetry. I never did think myself much of a writer I was named poet of the year in 1998 by the Famous poet society from Hollywood Calif. I have been getting such great pointers and all from the folks on this site. I feel very honored to be a memeber of this fine group. I'm known as the Vetpoet I am a disabled vietnam vet , and I get to spend a lot of time online and this is the site where I am most of the time. Thanks again for letting me join your group.
As Stories.Com has blossomed to become Writing.Com I felt obliged to re-write my testimonial in order to celebrate and emphasize the fact that this writing community is growing and improving day by day. As this ever expanding site blooms, my writing skills do also. I can’t thank Writing.Com enough for the changes it’s made not only on the site but in my life as a whole. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Writing.Com is addictive and I hate it when a day goes by that I can’t log on!
I think I'm addicted... three logins a day? It's such a cool site though: I write a lot, but I'm really shy about showing it to anyone in case it's really bad. But here, nobody knows who I am and if my stories flop, well, I can delete them. It's also a good place to get inspiration from; campfires, other people's stories, poems, that kind of thing.
As I write, it is June 4th, 2002 - exactly one year and one day after I found this remarkable site on the internet. I've been perpetually hooked, logging on almost every day since that lucky day, 366 days ago. Stories.Com has
meant so much to me as a writer, for never before had I been able to not only expose my own writings, but read and learn from the writings of other authors. It's been pure medicine for my muse since day one. I write to attempt at showing my appreciation for Stories.Com, but I'll never be able to accomplish that, even if I tried for many more years. Stories.Com, one of the few sites that is not a waste of cyberspace, but a jewel.
