This is situated on the right hand side of the home page and does 'Exactly what it says on the tin.'

Whether you want to ask a quick question about the site, shout about a success that you've had, respond to a previous comment, or start a whole new thread of banter, this is your place.

Why not watch it for a while and see what unfolds.

Hi Laurie. I'm here to shout about an acceptance for a short story for a magazine - and I broke all the rules! The magazine is YOU in South Africa, so I did not do my market research (rule 1 ALWAYS read a magazine thoroughly to ascertain readership requirements), other than a browse on the web. I found their guidelines and tried to match them. Then I emailed the story to the wrong person (rule 2 ALWAYS find out the name of the fiction editor). And then I had an acceptance! Wow - there must be a moral in this story somewhere. I'm now hoping they will send me a copy of the mag so I can obey rule 1 in future
