where to post?

[Saraphine]

if I THINK I have written a good story and want views or suggestions on it where do I post it
should I do it in the literary forum or someother forum?

It's hard to find the literature forum.

You know where it says "Young Writers Online" in big letters at the top of the page? Under that you should see three boxes that say Community | Literature | aStore. Select Literature. There should be a section labeled "stories." If your story is realistic, post it under Stories (Realistic). If it is a fantasy or science fiction story post it under Stories (Fantastic). If you want it to be only accessible by members, regardless of the genre, post it under Stories (Members Only).

Before you post a story, it's generally advisable to critique at least one story (I don't think you have to, but it's like etiquette) written by someone else. Generally it's also good to critique your critiquers back (there's now law saying that you have to, but it's polite. Like if Person A gives you some suggestions, find something Person A posted and critique one of his or her stories).

In your greeting, I think you said that you don't want very harsh critiques. Specify how harsh of a critique you'd like in your blurb. While you don't have to include a "blurb" it sometimes helps you get readers. Basically write in a sentence or two something about your story. Like "This is a short fantasy story I wrote about a young wizard coming to grips with his powers. I'm open to suggestions and would like advice, but I'm relatively new to showing my work, so please don't be too harsh." Like if I like fantasy stories, this might entice me to read your story. And also because you asked me not to be too harsh, I'll sugar-coat my criticisms.

I hope this helped.

thanx a lot
after that fruitful information i would surely post one of my stories but let's say after sometime
say, once i'm a always-do-good member of the site and after I have realized the level at which the stories are written and posted
I hope that is important cause then you have to write better and if it already is better than you can sure be blissful about it

once again thanx:D
