So the topic title was a lie. I just don't like begging for stuff in titles, it always sounds so pathetic, and I figured this might get peoples attention.

Okay, I'm a writer and hopefully one day I'll be an author of Pratchettian success. But for now I'm struggling to just finish a book. Anyway, I have trouble finding people to read what I write as it's of a Discworldy nature and no one I know in the real world likes or even gets that style of humour. Hell most of my friends don't even read.

So I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to read over some of my work and give me their opinions. I'm not asking for compliments, I can't improve if I don't know what I'm doing wrong and there's some stuff writers just can't see in their own work, so if you're up to it please rip into it as hard as you can.

So yeah, if anyone's interested please post your email address or pm it to me and I'll email you some stuff. My rp posts are an example of my style I guess, although I try and mimic Pratchett's style in them as much as I can, and of course I can work of his jokes, so it's a little different. And of course, as unfortunate as it is, I can't write a book set in Discworld.

I am nothing close to a literary critic, but go ahead and fire it at me.

By the way, I'm an Aussie and we spell things the English way rather than the american way as you may have noticed in my posts, for instance I spell 'color' colour.
So they're not all spelling mistakes.

Do you want me to tell you what I think here, or should I email or PM you?

Up to you.
If you want to praise me feel free to do it here wink
Nah but seriously I want your absolute honest opinion, saying it's good if it's s**t doesn't help me at all.

no, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is 'heal' instead of 'heel'. I like british spellings, but aside from those, there are a few things in there that could use fixed.
