For authors posting their work in the fan fiction section of Hisstank.

If you need a place to work out some ideas, or want to hit up a fellow author for some feedback outside of their story threads this would be the place.

Let's keep it related to fan fiction, and moderate ourselves in keeping with that idea.

This should be a place for open sharing of ideas, and honest feedback on some of the posted fan-fiction on the Tank. Criticism takes many forms, and even a bad review of a story may help the author progress....and then again, the author may not really be concerned about his/her work meaning anything to anyone else.

Remember critical thinking goes beyond merely stating that something sucks or something is great - it also must be accompanied by your recommendations for improvement or reasons why you felt it sucked.

Enjoy!

At the most excellent recommendation of Lifeline MD we're going to catalog useful links here to aid those with limited or dated military knowledge. (Because as we all know, knowing is half the ...... can't do it.)

An excellent idea, Flint. Subscribed!

I only recently started dabbling in writing. I'm not really aware of who else writes regularly...

What's up Humpty -

Yeah, I thought I'd check it out to see who else was into writing, I definately don't do as much as I would like. But there is some great talent here on the Tank I've notied.

I'm still pretty new to it. I guess the desire came from wanting to read Joe stories that nobody else was writing. However, I quickly found that you need feedback much more than with making customs.

I'd be interested in reading your stuff, if you have a link. Mine is here: Tales from Castle Destro.

Right there with you - I write the stories that I want, and it depends very much on my mood at any given time.

I write occasionally, but to be honest I'm more in need of a ghost writer, lol. I come up with ideas, but I'm too lazy to write them, lol. But this is a good idea, allows people to get actual feedback about their stuff rather than posting a thread that nobody posts in.

I second Humpty's comment. This should be great. Posting on the main fan fic page you get congrats and such but not a true critique. The idea of another person who is into writing, at whatever level, giving their honest thoughts on your work is awsome. If you need something to start with, tear Cobra Genesis apart.
You need to see if someone will sticky this.
Great Idea Flint!

Hahaha! I read that, but not recently. I thought it was quite good. Do you update regularly?

[Flint071]

I like feedback that is more than just heavyhanded bullshit from people who have never written - someone that writes and does it well who wants to offer feedback though - awesome.

Sort of only when I get a chance.

Not so much lately.

I know how it's going to end but I have to get there - I'd say I am about 75 percent finished in my head anyway.
