MOMENT'S QUOTE( s )
If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
~ Toni Morrison

Sit down, and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.
~ Colette, Casual Chance, 1964

WEEKLY TERM
O. HENRY ENDING - an unexpected and unprepared-for turn of events. It usually does not work well with foreshadowing. The term comes from the short stories of O. Henry (William Sidney Porter). Note that an O. Henry ending is usually a positive term of praise for the author's cleverness. This is the opposite sentiment from a deus ex machina ending, in which the unexpected ending strikes the audience as artificial, arbitrary, or unartful.

About

Ink Stains is a fairly simple enough project. It was created because in the midst of roleplay sites, there was a lack of writing community. In avidgamers, I (Alwajihah) was a part of two writing communities so I know first hand how fun they could be. Eventually those community passed and I realized no one wanted to take the opportunity to make another writing community. That's when I decided I wanted to work on a site for writers to share their work and ask for critique. I wanted there to be contests and fun games. As someone who has been a part of a site like this, Ink Stains is incredibly fun to share work and experience with those who want to be writers or those who feel they have room to improve. You'll be amazed at what you learn when you're amongst your peers.
