Through the wiki, you will understand how the community works. First, you will find general rules and guidelines. One of these is that you need to critique another member's story before you upload yours. All critiques must be high-effort and follow the 1:1 ratio.

Furthermore, you can find guidance on how to manage and use passive voice, adverbs, and other grammar advice for writers.
