Okay, I just got the message below through a reader of Shanshu on fanfiction.net. This person has been on ff.net only since late August. As far as I can tell, this site is not a scam. Does anyone else have info?

I think this might be a great opportunity for you: There is a contest for Fanfiction novels at Inkitt. They are looking for full length Fanfiction novels, and previously published works are accepted too.

 See the details at inkitt [dot] com [slash] fandom.
Check out the writing guidelines as well, they are pretty strict with those.

Also, If you have original short stories, there are other contests for several different genres! I think these might be great to get some recognition for your work! inkitt [dot] com [slash] contests

I hope this will be useful and you. All the best!

Here is a thread about them on FFnet forums: https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/2872/126212871/General-inkitt-mystery

So, yeah, it's not a scam, their "Terms and Conditions" don't contain anything suspicious and posting your story there won't harm you... but looks like it won't be particularely useful either.

Thanks. The link does mention online critique groups, such as Scribophile. Not for fanfiction, unfortunately, but as I'm hoping to start writing more original works, this may be useful for me. ;-)

I've never heard of it.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

I hadn't either.

I got the same PM. I went to the site and didn't see any fic there that was remotely in my genre or pairings so I decided against participating.

Once I took a look it didn't look interesting to me either.

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't see anything there that corresponded to what you write, either. I don't even know any of the writers there, which is kind of weird to me.

I didn't recognize the writers either. That was odd.

I clicked through to a couple of the stories and the writing wasn't all that. I didn't see any reason to spend time there.

Which is probably why we don't know them. I know we both have a pretty talented circle of acquaintances.

we both have a pretty talented circle of acquaintances. *grin* Yay for us!

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

P.S. I definitely count you among the very talented writers I know.

Thank you. Of course I feel the same about you. Mucho talent.

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
