Hola Ulla
I relate to your post. Since 2015 I have learn a lot about what I do best and what I don't. Feedback is so important. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to review so I only buy certificates every other day, sometimes more.
Recently, Helen posted an essay about reviews too. It's very helpful to learn from the pros... thank you!

Typo : (is it) also a great forum...it is? 2: and give (advise) advice?

Well done
Comment from damommy
I remember your early days. We worked on punctuation together and some other things. You have moved on to become an excellent writer. FS friends helped some, but the talent was there all along.

I can help no longer. You have far surpassed what I can do. You should be so proud of yourself.

You know, this brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much, Yvonne. xxx

Ulla, you provided the readers of your chapter with invaluable information of many perspectives.
The new writers (and dome old timers) can learn or be reminded if and when they read this.
Again, good chapter and thank you for posting.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Ulla, what a nice post. New member/writers can have a good time using this site. I like the analogy of being like one big family.
Small suggestion:
So my advise is to give feedback. When someone review you and give advise you to make some corrections.
I would combine this into a complete sentence:

Comment from Ben Colder
Must agree. I have been off and on for twenty years about the time TOM started the site. I have seen many come and go. And always hated to see my friends leave eith in death or bad health. Thanks for sharing, Ulla.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this post with us. I started on this site in 2008. Yes, I did start to become a better writer and yes, it has helped me. I have also made some valuable friends that I care about and care about me. You're one of those friends.
Is it also a great forum to improve your graft? (craft)

Comment from Sugarray77
Well said, Ulla. I really could relate to your comments and point of view... so heartwarming to read what it means to you. Also, in the first paragraph, do you mean 'graft' or 'craft'??? Hugs.

Comment from Sally Law
Thank you for sharing your perspective and years of experience with FanStory, particularly giving and receiving reviews. For the most part, I quite agree and have been very helped. There's some really great people on here that remain with me even still. You are one of those I'm blessed to have close to me.
Good manners and respect go a long way too, and unfortunately, I've had a few reviewers that were awful for lack of a better word. I've muted them mainly because they did not adhere to our reviewing protocols, and didn't put their best foot forward. I call it, "Take the money and run reviewing." Some arrive here with a superior attitude. We're all working on this together, and there's no reason to demean another writer. Press {{{Skip}}}. It's offered for a reason.
Again, thanks so much for the great insight and advice. I so appreciate your input and kindnesses to me, my friend. You're a gift!
Love & Blessings,
Sal Xoxo
