"Whether this was your intended destination or you inadvertantly stumbled upon it, we warmly welcome you to Winx Writers Anonymous! If you are a part of the Winx Club fandom in any way, from a highly acclaimed author to an anonymous reader, this is the forum for you.
The Winx Club category here on FanFiction suffers from worn-out, cliched plotlines; poorly written, one-dimensional, stubbornly OoC characters; atrocious grammar and spelling, and general abuse of the English language; improper use of donkeys; excessive appearance of meatballs; and paragraph-long sentences.
Still with me? Good. =]
The biggest obstacle in the fandom is its audience: namely, its median age. Quality in writing comes with skill, and skill comes with experience, which is something most of the Winx Club writers (generally between the ages of eleven and fourteen) don't really have. (We believe that receiving constructive criticism well and incorporating suggestions is great experience, though, which is what we're here for!)
Don't worry - obviously, we're not all serious and frowny-faced. We want this forum to be a fun community, a melting pot that everyone can add their personal suggestions to, and everyone can take from helpful advice from. Hopefully, if all of the writers and readers have a place to complain, offer critique, and take inspiration from, the quality of the stories in the fandom will improve drastically.
So pull up a tuba and make yourself comfortable. Take the tips and tricks presented by your fellow Winxers to heart and implement their ideas in your own writing. Feel free to enlighten the hive mind with advice of your own, as well.
[...]
Much love!
~The Winxers"
