This list is for writers of JAG fanfiction who are interested in improving their writing. It will serve as a forum for the general discussion of writing, including but not limited to the elements of good writing, common problems faced by writers (such as writers’ block and proper character and plot development), and general or specific questions people may have about writing. The list will also be a place for writers to post their stories (complete or in parts) and have them discussed on the list. Writers are encouraged to carefully consider the feedback they receive and to re-work and re-post their stories as often as they want until they feel it is "finished." You may also use this list as a resource tool - find a proofreader or betareader, ask for help with research questions, or solicit help in turning your story idea into a reality. This list is not a place to *read* fanfic but rather a place to receive help in writing fanfic and to discuss writing. Writers are encouraged to post finished stories to the Article 78 list. If your interest is in reading fanfic, you should sign up there.
