Hi everyone! First post here. I live in Ohio and have been a member for a few weeks, but wanted to finish a project before posting anything. I am wrapping up a science fiction story, but I consider myself unfit to pass judgment on my work. I am too close to it, and therefore can't see the forest from the trees. So at the appropriate time, I will be looking for some sharp eyes that can point me in the right direction.

Hey, Argon, welcome! I'm sure those of us (me!) who enjoy science fiction will be more than happy to cast our constructively critical eyes over your work at the appropriate time.

Until then, good luck! :mothership:

HI Argon! Welcome to the circus! It's always good to meet an periodic element, especially a noble gas!

I recommend taking a break from your story for a little while. Work on something else to sort of wipe it from your mind, then go back and take another look after you have gotten away from it. You're in the right spot to find some people to help you out. I can't volunteer at the moment as I have buried myself in projects, but I image you will have quite a bit to work on yourself if you let it rest and then come back with another pass.

Nice meeting you, have fun.

Hi, Spottedgeckgo. This element has been more periodic than he cares to admit, though not nearly as noble. Thanks.

Thanks, Chase. I look forward to communicating with someone who has an interest in writing, and more specifically, in the world of 'What If.'
