I have still not been able to post. What's the point of giving "free" points if you can't use them during the trial period?

Welcome to the site.
We tend to use the threads in this forum for brainstorming with other writers, getting help with story and writing issues, and sharing nonsense. Usually one thread per story, but there's no rule about that. FYI, not all of this group's members write fantasy. We needed a semi-quiet place to "meet" outside of Premium, so we ended up here. For example, Kdot writes steampunk, Seabrass writes sci-fi, njc writes fantasy, and I wrote a space opera but have moved on to a supernatural thriller. If you can't get your questions answered here, you can always ask all of the site's members by posting in the Premium forum. Plenty of helpful folks around. Also, feel free to subscribe to any threads that interest you, so you'll receive emails when someone posts to those threads.
When you're ready for your first batch of reviews, put a post in the Premium forum introducing yourself and your story, and asking for reviews. You'll generally get a whole bunch to begin with, but then it's up to you to decide whom you want to trade reviews with on a long-term basis. Don't forget to respond to reviews. People spend various amounts of time reviewing your work, and a response is an acknowledgement of their effort.
I can't seem to login to the premium group. It says I'm on a seven day trial.

Topic: Children in the Temple (8 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
I posted the first five chapters of my book "Children in The Temple, Book One of the Runner Series.
I'm an extremely new writer (1 month) and just took it up now that I'm retired and living a peaceful life of full-time RV'ing.
The book is heroic fantasy on a smaller scale. No dragons and Balrogs here, the town's main enemy has always been wolves (wargs in Tolkien's world) and they are enough to keep the small town garrison busy, with the help of the High King's Runners patrolling the forested hills surrounding the town.
I simple don't know what to expect from this forum. I'd like to say that I'll be reading and reviewing a lot right away, but in all honesty writing has consumed my entire day, and I'm loving it. I will sincerely make an effort to take an active part in this forum, but right now even the book I had been reading sits untouched on my nightstand since I started this writing binge 31 days ago.
