I just slapped together a free website, it seemed like the thing to do. And I was wondering, are there any existing webrings for aspiring writers?

If so, who do I need to threaten to be included?

Anyway... if you had a spare moment, you could view my site at:

Hi

I took a quick look at your site and scrolled down over your stories. It looks nice enough, even in spite of the commercials.

But there's something wrong with your horror stories, I think. Many of the sentences showed something like this:


“Who’s there!” he shouts.


(I'm using Internet Explorer 6).

It looks good to me. The more graphics you use, the slower the response will be. Also, people tend to dislike ads so I wouldn't count on them being real helpful. I started my website with the intention of helping me publicize and sell my novels. Then I added stories and zine articles to help it along. I get a lot of hits, but the novel sales are disappointing because they are POD and I don't have the money it takes to get them reviewed by the pros or advertised where it counts. C'est la vie.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look it over, I know those ads are a nuisance, unfortunaly I can't stop them, their part of any "free" site I have available to me.
Also, sorry for the text problems, I noticed those right away, It seems there is a problem when I try to cut and paste my stories in the HTML text boxes they provide. All parenthesis and apostrophes translate into funky alien code. I am working on the problem now.

Now... back to my original question... I know Penumbra has a page, I know nicba has one... perhaps we need to START a WebRing... hmmmmm...

[nicba]

I don't know much about WebRings, I can't really help you about that, I think. My only advice would be to search the net and find a site which are already a member of such a ring and then send the owner an email.

And about starting a new WebRing, well... It's true that I have a webpage, but at the moment it is dedicated to my master thesis project. So therefore I don't think I will feel inclined to join such a project just yet.

Aside from this, I haven't got very much to show for my writing either.
