some fun and interesting discussions, as well as
much celebration over ink members' achievements.

D'oh. Clicked join instead of watch by accident. Please ignore me.

Whoops- just sent a join request when I meant to watch. Could it please be disregarded?

Oops!
I think I clicked on JOIN before sending in my membership application. Oh dear. Sorry!

why so elitist?
Hi :)
I stumbled across this community and thought it would be a wonderful place for me to communicate with other writers, and perhaps get feedback on my own writing (unpublished author). But then, sadly, I had a look at your community info - whoops, I don't qualify for membership!
My question is this: is there a particular reason unpublished authors cannot join this community, and if so, is it possible for a mod to add something to the community info to explain? As much as I love writing, this just feels too... elitist, and I think that I - amd perhaps many other unpublished authors - would feel more comfortable in a space where their contributions are welcomed regardless of whether they've had work published or not.

Thank you

Sorry! I am yet another who clicked 'join' instead of 'watch' by accident. Please ignore me...
