Speaking as someone who sort of hovers off on the edges of the fandom and has written exactly one fic (which I'm fairly sure no one save my beta reader has read), I feel like for me what would be more useful than a community for promoting my writing would be sort of an orientation system for new writers. It seems like there are plenty of places to post or promote a piece, but it's not necessarily easy to know what's appropriate where. It would be great to have some place to ask for suggestions on where a piece might belong, or even just an annotated list of some sort. If it were possible to ask about fandom etiquette in the same place it'd be doubly helpful. Maybe this all already exists and I just don't know where to look. :D

Thank you for thinking of this, though.
