Finally, I have gotten your love!. It still needs to be updated with a few more sites though.

[Emma]

To share your writing there's a website called fictionpress.com, and you can put your stories up there, and people can review them, and you can read and review other people's writing. I have an account on there, I just haven't looked at it in a while.

*looks at Baxter* You mentioned Neil Gaiman! *gasp* Have I finally met someone else who has read some of Neil Gaiman's writing? I haven't read any of his graphic novels, but I've read and loved quite a few of his other novels.

Then leave and read The Sandman. By far his best work.

[[deleted user]]

I only read anything by him because my father's into him, and Dada doesn't like graphic novels. So I haven't read The Sandman yet. I want to... I just haven't yet.

[♫♥Selena♥♫]

/i read Coraline. The other father part in the abandoned apartment was scary. In the basement

[Mandy]

I read coraline too! it creeped me out!

I have a couple website recommendations:

http://www.pandora.com/
Pandora is awesome! Put in a song or several songs that you like and it'll play songs that are similar so you can try slightly new things.

Every kind of generator you will never need. Lots of silly fun!
