Rhoda, aged 13, from Manitoba, Canada says:
I love SFW I just hope that you guys can just add comments to our stories so that we can feel impressed so we can know whether we did a great job and to keep it up tanks pls reply xxxxxxxxxx...........

SFW replies:

Hi Rhoda, we are glad you enjoy using SFW. unfortunately, this isn't something we can do but other young people can send comments in about stories in the gallery.

Rhoda, aged 13, from Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada says:
Hello, I'm Rhoda. I just want to know how I can become a member. Also I sent a feedback to my story the worst news but it doesn't appear, and also adding pictures. I want to be a member and maybe an author. xxx. Thanks.

Hello Rhoda,
At the moment it is only possible to be a member if you live in particular parts of the UK or Ireland.
Feedback to stories is usually put up very quickly - please try again. Pictures are sent in by member libraries. We are hoping to have an online drawing page for the older area soon.
Please keep sending in your work. Have a look at the author zone - this may help you with your writing.
Bye - SFW

Gaurav, aged 15, from Delhi, India says:
Hello, I am Gaurav from Delhi, India aged 15. I think SFW has done a great job in geting creativity out of young kids. I have also been appreciated for my story 'The Mystery Of The Alchemy House'.... I also want SFW to have experts comment on each childswork, that would be really inspiring... Thanks.

Lucy, aged 12, from England says:
Hi .... it's Lucy again!!
You must be thinking, "Flippin' eck, when will she stop pestering us!"
Sorry about that!!!
Anyway, do you know if the May competition is only open to members or not? Because the only reason I come on here is to wait for competitions, and if it's just for members only then I might as well leave the site.
I'm not in a member area so I can't join. Can you tell me if ALL the contests are for members and members only?!

SFW Replies:
Hi Lucy,
The competitions are now for members only. It's always worth visiting your local library and asking if they are going to join Stories from the Web, and also checking out the Library Zone Area as more library authorities do join.
We are sorry that you have been waiting for a competition and are now thinking of not using the site, that would be a shame. There are many activities to use so do keep sending in your work.

Khadijah, aged 13, from Birmingham, UK says:
Hello

I just wanted to say that I got a username and password for SFW from my library which is involved and it doesn't work. I've already asked the librarians a million times for one that works please but they kindly give me the same one and they are probably getting sick of me keep on asking. What's wrong?

SFW replies:

Hello Khadijah,
If you email us at storiesfromtheweb@birmingham.gov.uk with details of the username and password you have been given and from which library we will sort this out for you.

Khadijah, aged 13, from Birmingham, UK says:
Hello again after a VERY long time SFW!
I bet you missed me dearly not! But I missed this site.
Life has been unusually busy and FULL of books that I couldn't possibly let go of unless absolutely necessary!
I am finally going to pluck up the courage to let go of the books I read more often and finish my story called Romance Gone Wrong (the last chapter I think) because it's been ages and ages since I wrote the last chapter and real authors don't take that long to write a whole novel!
I'd also like to give you the glad tidings that I've a new life-long ambition and that is to have my own library! A home library, the type you find in country houses with shelves shooting right up to the ceiling and sliding ladders for all the convenience in the world. I shall have all the books I've ever wanted in my library and that includes ancient books from the depths of Tut's Tomb... Okay, let's not get too ambitious, but I will of course have tattered and battered old books that have been passed down quite a few times (normally the type you find at car boot sales).
Anyway, there's one special detail that I'm going to have in my library and that I especially want to get down to telling you and that is: There will be a large notice board thingy in a space between two shelves and on it will be all the certificates I received from winning SFW competitions, including the letter from the head of SFW (which is presently RIGHT at the bottom of all the junk in my drawer because I want it to get nice and crumpled and browned so when up on the notice board, people'll look at it they'll nod and go, "There must be a story behind that one") and around them there will be all the letters I've ever had from real authors that have enough time to send newsletters to people's doorsteps and other story-related pieces of paper. Also, on a sparkly piece of paper there will be written, "Visit Storiesfromtheweb.org before you leave this library otherwise once you're out, pray don't return" instead of the comman, "Pleasith be quieth" note they usually have in normal libraries.
My library of course is not going to be normal.
Heigh-ho, I think I’ve done enough nattering for one day.
Byeee!
