Hello dearest Figgie,

Yes, I'm just another writer whoring for reads because I've entered a contest. I know, annoying. But I'd really love if you could check out my story Here Now and give some honest feedback. Just a comment is good enough. A review? Lovely. A heart? You'd be my new favorite person. As of all these contests are heart-based, I can only resort to bothering you and others who have much better to do. I would love a free read, but if you must I will take swaps. I'm extremely busy as of my finals start this week, so if you want a swap you may have to wait another two weeks. I will get back to you, but it will take very long. Thanks so much.

Hey! I was wondering if you might be able to swap with me. I've been looking for some readers to read my new story: http://figment.com/books/639519-The-Lonely-One

So if you'd like to, just let me know what I should read!

Hey ya'll :) Guess what? I just wrote a brand-spanking new story, and I want to share it with you! Cool, right? Wait, it's not? I think you'd better read it first... Called "The Boy With the Emerald Green Eyes" it's for a contest, and only needs ten more hearts to be a finalist! I'm not forcing you to heart my story, and please don't think I'm beggin'. Only heart my story if you think it deserves it. I don't want to have my story in the top ten purely based on lies! I would, however, love if you could give feedback of some sort. 'Course, you don't even have to do that. Just maybe take six minutes of your day to read my story? Give a reaction? It'd make my day :) I'd love a free read, but I'm willing to swap if you like. Just post on my wall what you want me to read in return. Or, if ya don't do swaps or just don't want to read my story, period, I'm deeply sorry for taking up your valuable time and wall space. Thanks :)

Hi Samantha,

I'm currently writing the second draft for my novel, Seeds of Treachery (2). I really need some hard and honest critiques on it (none of those "good job" or "great read" type of things). If you've the time, would you pop on over and give it a try?

Hello all my fellow figgies!! I am currently competing in the Summer Romance Contest, and though romantic stories are my forte, I still need your help.

Read my short story We'll Last Forever, comment, hearts are loved (if deserved), and possibly spread the word about it! 

Here's a small snippet of my story to catch your fancy: ~*Someone barreled into me and the air rushed out of my lungs when I hit the ground. I gasped in sharply trying to get oxygen back in while the freezing air burned my throat. I opened my eyes and saw a familiar face grinning down at me. His smooth cheeks with a little roughness at the chin, suggested that he in fact grew up a little more since the last time we saw each other. "Nick," I breathed. He always seemed to have the perfect timing.  I knew what Nick was about to do, and that there would be no way out of it.*~

*We'll I always be together. I believed you when you said "we'll last forever"*

Want me to read something in return? I'll do it!  *Click on the picture to get to my story :) Love you guys bunches!           Maryn Wosu
