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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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-!

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.

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.

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.
