riters_r_usI’ve got a ton of stuff I’ve accumulated, either from places I’ve been, or from alert members. I’ll just post a bunch of it at one time and then maybe start over? Some of the links I’ve followed and looked at, others I’m just passing on in case anyone is interested in checking them out. Feel free to comment if you follow a link and really thought it was useful, or really thought it sucked. ☺
I do want to remind you that this is a community – I’m just the mod and LJ “owner”, so if you’re a member, please feel free to make your own posts. As you can see, sending me something – whether it’s a link to something good you want to share, or a daily doozy, or whatever – does not mean it’s going to get passed on in a timely fashion. I’d much rather have the community see something every few days, than have to wait until I remember that I have stuff to post here. There are tags already set up for word usage, grammar, punctuation, writing tips, etc. so go ahead and tag your post so it can be easily found.
I do ask that you remember we are trying to educate and help people, not mock them, so try to be judicious about posting mistakes you’ve seen. If it’s too hilarious not to share, but could perhaps be identified as being from a particular fandom or author, try to tweak it a bit so that it will be hard for anyone to point to a particular fic as the source. Anything from the general internet is, of course, fair game. Unintentionally funny signs, headlines, things like that are fine.
And this is already so long, I’m just going to end it with a quote I saw on FB yesterday. I’ll compile some other stuff and put it in a different entry.
