Hello and thank you for joining In Another Life Fiction Forum! We welcome you and are excited to have you as another addition to our family. Please read the following letter as it explains a bit about the site and what it has to offer.
At In Another Life (I.A.L.), we provide a “safe haven” for writers to come and post and share their work, whether it be original fiction, fan fiction, poetry, and or essays. There is a little bit of everything here for everyone!
Our Forum is divided into seven (7) parts: (1) Welcome to In Another Life, (2) General Fiction, (3) Mature Fiction, (4) Adult Fiction, (5) Poetry, (6) The Writer’s Den, and (7) Essays & Non Fiction.
(1) Welcome to In Another Life! – This is the welcome part of the forum, the guide, if you will. Here, you will find much needed information on the different genres (drama, romantic-comedy, thriller, horror, and science fiction) and the types of stories (cast fiction, alternative universe, cast fiction, crossovers, etc.) This section is especially important for those who’ve never read or written fiction seeing as how it gives a wonderful explanation of what each genre and story type is. There are also the News Flash, Member’s Guidelines and Story Submissions which give you our forum News Letter, step by step instructions on setting up your banners and avatars and how to submit your story. Lastly, are the Who’s Who and The Ink Pit. These threads provide a section where you, the author/reader, can introduce yourself, get to know other authors/readers such as yourself and talk about things that relate to writing. Our newest thread addition is the Challenges thread. Every couple of months, IAL will hold a Story Challenge contest as a way to make writing fun and to keep your creative juices flowing.
(2) General Fiction – This is where you are to post your General original fictions and or fan fictions here. All stories must be at a general rating (similar to G – PG-13), which means your story must be written at those levels, for everyone to read. Little flirtation, violence, and profanity are allowed. Anything further than that is not. This section is divided into categories based on fiction genre: romantic-comedy, drama, thriller, horror, and science fiction. Any type (cast fiction, celebrity fiction, crossovers, etc.) are accepted here. At the end of the section is a Help! Thread for you if you are to need any help. If you have a question and or problem pertaining to General Fiction, you can ask it here.

This section is for when you have questions on what to write, brainstorming and the dreadful writer’s block. It’s also where we hold our Round Robin and Writing Exercise to keep your writing up to shape, and our Casting Calls. This section also provides members Writing Journals that they may keep. Other members can NOT post in your journal but they are able to read them.
