    Hi there Jimmy, and welcome to the forums. I'm a published author, but not into the fantasy genre, so I'm not well qualified to judge such writings.

    Welcome to WF, Jimmy. People would be interested in reading your works if you give them feedback on theirs.

    Hi Jimmy, You have picked a genre with a lot of competition. The best way to check is to use your ten introductory posts going through the fantasy section giving some crit to others, then post a sample of your work, not 50 pages but one or two thousand words at most. That is enough to give a good idea of your writing ability and short enough to encourage people to read through and comment. I doubt if your present approach will get any takers, most people here like to stay within the forum.
