Hey everyone, I am only new around here. A friend of mine suggested it to me. I have been a writer all throughout my life, starting at primary school until now. One of the main stories I am writing at the moment I have been working on since I was 10 years old (of course it is a lot better since then but the characters and plot I have been working on haven't changed much). I have participated in NaNoWriMo for the past three years, never once have I been able to reach the 50,000 word limit...since exams always got in the way!! 
Anyway, I am on this site mainly to see what people think of my stories and I will only settle for constructive criticism, I don't want to just see "It's bad" or anything like that, I want to gain some experience from this. I prefer writing fantasy novels but I have also attempted some Drama and Horror. Didn't end well but it was still interesting!
Since last time I was on, I have put my old story aside, the one I was working on since I was 10, and am now working on a fantasy novel where it focuses on Magic. It is different to me since I usually focus on swords and epic fantasy, this novel is more political! Big step-up from the Tolkienesque one I was attempting before!
