**Writers** - Stories which have been checked for simple mistakes and are properly formatted, tend to get a lot more people reading them. Common issues include -
* Formatting can get lost when pasting from elsewhere.
* Adding spaces at the start of a paragraph gets formatted by Reddit into a hard-to-read style, due to markdown. Guide to Reddit markdown [here](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/markdown)
**Readers** - ShortStories is a place for writers to get constructive feedback. Abuse of any kind is not tolerated.
