Hello and welcome to the wonderful community of h2g2 , also called 'hootoo '
I am your <./>ACE</.> and have come to meet you and to greet you and to help you with your first steps on this site.
First things first :
, there's always somebody near to help you with whatever your problem might be. For example you can reply to this message and/or ask me a question by simply pressing the reply button. Or you can click on the name above this message, which will bring you directly to my Personal Space ( recommended ), where you can leave a message for me.
Here is the Welcome Message from DNA, the founder of the site: A157349
h2g2 is all about writing entries for the edited guide, and I'm fairly sure there'll be a topic YOU could write about, so why not give it a try?
Go here for more info: A53209
In case that's not your cup of tea, there's still the <./>writing-alternative</.> for creative writing, as well as <./>ThePost</.>.
Things you should know before you start :
This is an open forum, so everything you post can be read by everybody else, and you cannot delete it, nor can you correct it once it is sent. This is where the 'preview' button below your answering box comes in handy.
The only thing you can edit or delete, is any guide entry you create, which includes the introduction on your Personal Space.
So why not read the Guide to Netiquette on h2g2 at A901838 before you put your foot in? You're much less likely to accidentally upset somebody if you're familiar with the site's Netiquette. To give you an impression of how you may feel if you posted before thinking, take a look here: A11284193

Hello. Thanks for all the tips I will need to use them when I come to send anything. I have been told to join this site from my editor, she thinks this place will help me alot. I am a newbie writer and I am in the beginning of writing my first book and I am having issues with this already lol
I was hoping to get some help from here is that possible? I am no good with grammer so I was hoping to get help with this as well. To be honest I am not sure what this place is and how it could help me, but I am having fun using it.

Oh, if you like to write, this is exactly the place for you.
If you write something and want feedback, best submit it to the Alternative Writing Workshop at <./RF5</.>. There are people who'll help you with the flaws of your piece.
Do you know how to create an entry and submit it to a forum here?

WEll, if you click on the link above,, it will bring you there, so you can read what it is about and how it works.
To submit it there, you'll need to write an entry first, ie click on 'Write an Entry' in the left side bar. Write your title in the 'Title of Entry' box, then write your text in the 'Body of Entry' box. When you're done, click ' Add Guide Entry'. Once it is updated, you'll find a 'Submit for Review' at the top right side bar (directly under where it says: Edit Entry'. If you click the Submit link, you'll get a choice of different forums to submit to. Choose 'Alternative Writing Workshop', write a line what you want ect, then submit.
