New Writing Journey...

So, I have begun a new journey with my writing. I signed up for Fanstory this week. It is very difficult to understand and use, but with time--time that I should be using for writing--I will figure it out.

What I like about Fanstory:
    I like that unknowns can read your poems, short stories, book chapters, and give immediate feedback and the feedback is constructive. So far, there are a few already interested in my new book.
    I like that I can read and review, also. I have not reviewed writing for some time, and participating in this is bringing my mind around to really reading, not just passively, which will help with my writing.

What I don't like about Fanstory:
    I completely despise the entire "game-like" way it is set up. You earn points and treasure chests, and certificates and all that! I am just not a gamer. I don't want all that! In that aspect it is set up like Facebook where you earn points or buy FB dollars to continue! Come on, Fanstory! You are already charging for a subscription, unlike Facebook who doesn't charge monthly!

    I will try Fanstory a few more days, but then I may write and request a refund because of the gaming thing. I just don't like that. I don't mind paying for a subscription and giving and getting feedback, but why turn it into a game. Writing isn't a game to me. I'm really put out by it. We'll see.
