Thanks! I wasn't sure whether it was on the main board or what.

I know the feeling. It's just that no one plays what I like.
Got a local bookstore or a library? Make a gaming registry.
Look at the section of this page called Building a Gaming Community.

Wow.
I've heard of AbsoluteWrite, but I think that's the only one. Thanks!

I use different documents for each chapters, a vague chapter summary and character profiles, among other things.

Hello. I'm Ryan.
Since November 05, I've worked on a fantasy novel with the title Vortex Trigger. It's about a dreamer elf and a shady rogue who chase a sentient storm and its elemental army.
I'm shooting for Vortex Trigger as a full 400 page fantasy novel, and I plan to revise it as viciously as I need to and publish it. It's light and romantic; think The Dragon and the George, Anne McCaffrey, The Dark Crystal and Renaissance festivals.
My next novel, Enemy Territory, occurs within a space empire of a hundred planets where an impatient prince battles a mad genius, psychic supersoldiers with abilities suppressed with drugs and a powerful insect race. Think Gundam, Godzilla and Phantasy Star.
I've written one novel already as a concept generator. Titled Oracle Dream, it's 150 pages and about a girl who sees ghosts and a bank robbery.
I don't think it's especially well written for many reasons, but that really wasn't the point of it... I wanted to show myself that I could write a novel! My sister adored it, though, and she's drawing short comics with the characters. I have many stories in mind. It's just that Oracle Dream wasn't the story I wanted to tell about them.

The Critique Circle at http://www.critiquecircle.com seems rather friendly to me. It seems to have a nice variety of people, from the hobbyists to the professionals.
I hear many cool things about Forward Motion www.fmwriters.com, but it seems to me to be really darn intense.
