Here are the Group Rules, Punishments, and Extra Information. To go along with that, here is the Author Support Help Desk, where you can ask any question you have about the group!

List of People Willing to Help: Go there first if you're looking for help!

The Thread Directory

We here at Author Support have a common goal, and that goal is to support and help out any author that comes our way. A simple task often made to look complicated by the sheer number of threads and people we have. Often times, though, getting help is as simple as rifling through our threads. More likely than not, you'll find just the thread containing the information or service you need.

As it is our purpose to help any author with any conceivable problem, we have well over fifty threads*, all designed and fitted to specific purposes or services often required of authors. From finding ready-made OCs, to guides on how to create your own character, to dialogue, and story ideas. Nearly every subject of writing is at least touched once. We even provide things such as editors, proofreaders, critics, and reviewers.

Of course, we can't help someone who isn't willing to help themselves, and no matter how easy we make it to find the information you need, some effort is required of you to at least find the information. Usually, this is as simple as leaving a comment in a thread, or even just browsing through some already-made comments.

Another purpose of our group, besides helping you as an author, is to be a friendly community to all who come our way. Around here, everyone is treated as an equal, and commenting and conversation amongst members is encouraged. Most of us are nice, patient people who would be more than willing to help you out or just have a conversation.

Browse around, take a gander, do as you will to make yourself comfortable. If ever you have any questions, feel free to message any of the admins. We're more than willing to answer your questions and help you out! :twilightsmile:

*The thread counter next to the message board is wrong; we actually have 56 threads, half as much as is listed.

Help? For Free? Well sign me up, Sally!

In all seriousness though, I was just looking for exactly this kind of group and I am hopeful that you'll be able to help me with my problems and that I also may be able to help others with their problems.

Hm, don't really know what else to say, really, other than I'm looking forward to this group.

Frosty Greetings,

[size=14][/size] Hello, my name is PONYBUG24, and along with my partner, Lunatic Hell, we are willing to help anypony who needs it.My Lunatic Hell is like a Bloodhound, he tracks down anypony who has potential, and who is a pretty good writer, he lets them know who we are and what we do. Then, he gives them a list of satisfied clients, whose work has improved, and whose follower base has increased since they started working with us.I am not one to brag, but I wear my :heart: on my sleeve. :twilightsmile::raritywink::raritystarry::yay::moustache::rainbowkiss::pinkiesmile::pinkiehappy::coolphoto:

I'm engaged in some massive world building and OC projects. I was hoping for some help into these projects that I humbly submit to you today.

Pay a visit! I'm a competent illustrator and I draw my own characters and cover art. I can exchange artwork for editing help.

Hello every pony! Ever dreamed of living the dream with your OC, and be that pony? Well you can with Author Support's Role Play section! Although this group is primarily geared towards authors to help improving written work, not many people know the Role Play (RP) section exist... With your help, I believe we can make it a vibrant experience together. Join Chaos RP today.

Thank you.

Getting likes, dislikes, nice comments and favorites are great but I'm not too sure I've gotten actual feedback yet. If anybody's willing to critique I sure would like to hear your voice on my writing since I'm still kind of new :scootangel:

Just to help avoid confusion here: this author added his story to this group already, but I was the one who added it to the recommended readings folder, not him. Just wanted to clear that up, just in case :twilightsmile:

I'm looking for a reviewer of my newest story: The Infinity Complex. I am willing to review the stories of those who review mine (if they wish).

Hey everypony! So, I've been told that one of my stories contains things like unnecessary sentence, and occasionally, bad grammar. I'd like a bit of help with that, so I'll just place that story in the main folder.

On another note, I have a feeling that in a story I'm currently working on, I'll need to collaborate. If anyone is interested in that...well, just talk to me.
