Even though I've been URPG inactive for well over a year, maybe it would be a good idea to write stories solely for the sake of improving my writing skills?


I dunno. Does this sound like a good idea for me to try or am I blowing crap out my butt.

All's you gotta do is mention this in the same thread(s) as your story(ies). Ask for a more detailed grade than than usual, and that way, whoever grades your story will know that you actually WANT advice 'n suggestions 'n junk, unlike some other folks, who have to have it crammed down their throats. Knowing that makes quite a bit of difference on the grader's end, I've found.

Or, you could just ask a grader about it directly, and then let him or her claim your story ahead of time. And of course, you'd wanna find a grader that you think can really help you out.

But yeah. Helping folks improve their writing skills is the biggest goal of the URPG Stories. So no, it's not crap. And anyone who says otherwise should come have a long, long chat with me. ^^
