Greetings and salutations. Welcome to the town of Booksie. I will be your humble guide. My name is DarkFairy. The town of Booksie is unlike any other town you will find in the country of Internet. Here in Booksie you can express yourself freely through a variety of genres, writing styles and topics. Publishing your artistic pieces is completely free. Once published you will begin to get read, and commented on by fellow Booksians who come from all over our great country. These comments are positive signs for people to read, and lifts their mood on cloudy days. Though not everyone who reads your works may like it, but those who do may become fans. Through these fans friendships are made.

 

Look there, those two fellows talking to each other. The one on the right is Lionheart, to the left SynHawk. Two of my good friends and fans that I met here in Booksie. And the two girls sitting by the town well are AsNightFalls and missbritian101. They both wrote great, fantastic novels.

 

How did I come to find myself in Booksie you ask, well I'm glad you asked. I 'd be even happier to tell you.

 

It all began in my senior year of high school, the year being 2007. I was required to take an English course to graduate. I looked at my class choices and decided on a creative writing class. Hoping to improve my writing abilities. The year was half over and we were given the assignment of writing and publishing something we hadn't tried before. I thought to myself okay I've really only done poetry most of the year. My class was a hour and a half long, so had plenty of time to decide what I wanted to write.

 

At the end of class my decision was made. I'm a avid reader of the fantasy genre. The only problem was I couldn't think of a story line. As I walked home that day I came up with my novel Unwanted Destiny.

 

I began writing out my story. T here was one final thing left to do on my checklist for an 'A,' publishing my writing. Now I went through several hours of searching for towns and other such publishing places. What I found often were these towns were far away, as a result you had to pay to have your writing published. But I didn't want to have to pay for my 'A.' Finally I cam across the perfect town. Booksie.

 

I can happily say that Booksie has changed my life since I moved here. I have met great friends, received many supporting comments and fans and feel free to put whatever is on my mind in words, to share with my fellow Booksians.

 

Yes the town of Booksie is wonderful. Feel free to explore and broaden your horizons here in Booksie. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to others first. One thing I've learned here in Booksie is that if you make your opinion known to someone by commenting on their works when they share it or tell them when visiting their homes, you will most likely get the same in return. Everyone is here for support and consulting. Stop by my house and let me know if your new in town and I'll pay you a visit and maybe more, if I really like what I read.

 

Welcome once again to Booksie. I hope you prosper in all that you do here, no matter how long your stay may be.

 

~DarkFairy~

Totally. I didn't want to pay for a grade. I just wanted something that would say I published my work. I never thought I would stick with booksie, but I fell in love with it. I'm glad you liked by set up, Lionheart kinda inspired me for it. So a thanks is definitely given out to him.

~DarkFairy~

Wow, I'm new to booksie and this is almost exactly how I felt! The website is so expansive that I really don't know where to begin and am quite lost...

I love this!

Author Comment:

Yeah, it has grown, if you have any questions along the way ask any of the Booksie Crew members they'd be glad to help.

I'm glad you found our page, and that you loved it.

~DarkFairy~

Wow..........amazing.
Indeed even I feel the same.
I guess, writers all over the world share this wonderful relation.........simply awesome.
We share a world of fantasy, love,truth,betrayal, motherhood,U name it......

Posted: Apr 10, 2008

Author Comment:

Yep, it's amazing how we don't realize this until we really think about it.

~DarkFairy~

I totally agree with you on the paysites and all. Why would I pay to have someone rip apart my writing when I can do that for free? Lol.

This is the best writing site on the web. I have searched for a place to publish my writing since seventh grade and this is the best one I've found. (I'm now in high school and only found this site recently if that tells you how long I've been searching.)

Good work

Totally, lol. Wow, you definitely been searching longer than I did, but we are glad you finally found us. Hey spread the word about the Booksie Crew, everyone should feel welcomed here, no one should be left out.

~DarkFairy~

I hope booksie a better upgrade

Posted: Apr 15, 2008

Author Comment:

We don't really control the upgrades, we are just fellow writers on the Booksie site itself. But yes, I wish that they would take it a little slower with the upgrades and fix the bugs that still exist.

Upgrades are great, too many at once, and you start to have problems. Thanks for reading, check out the other writers of the Booksie Crew.

~DarkFairy~

Sweet monkey punkey! I love the way you put it, and your so right too. Did you know I find this site completely by accident, I'd hit a snag in my story and wanted help so I did a google search, and BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM! There it was, I pressed on it and moved into my residence in the town of booksie.

Posted: Apr 22, 2008

Author Comment:

Wow, most look for the site on purpose, and instead it found you!

That's awesome. I liked the way I wrote it too, Lionheart has always spoken of it as a town so it inspired me to write it that way.

~DarkFairy~

Hi all,

I wanted you to know that we have taken your advice and are addressing a bunch of bug features. We've been silent for so long, not forgetting the site, but working on it. The first upgrade will unstick the pages and make everything load much, much faster. We're hopting to do it tonight, or maybe tomorrow at the latest. It will also fix a bunch of other problems. We've added so many users lately that the speed problem has really taken a lot of time to resolve.

We really want to thank the Booksie Crew and hopefully you've had the patience to stick it out. Here's to more speed and a faster moving Booksie boat.

Hey, sorry for taking so long to get back to you :)

But it's easy if you just email me at pokegotta89@earthlink.net I'd be glade to give you all the information you need to contribute.
