@Riley
Well, the only writing sites I've been to is this site and Wattpad and maybe even Tumblr since oneshots are posted on there. Wattpad is great since there's a HUGE varity and there's many people over there--it's called the YouTube of the writing world, so that should mean something ;) Many great hockey stories and oneshots are over there and it doesn't only have to be fanfics on Wattpad, there are also original stories over there! So there's lots of freedom in Wattpad with what is there.
Tumblr is also great to post oneshots or links of stories since the site's so big and everyone's practically on it and anyone can find it, hockey fan or not, like Wattpad. The thing about Tumblr is that anyone, people who have the intention of wanting to read or not, can find it and they can read it if they want to, but it's still out there.
I hope that helps! :)
If you want to, do you have any great hockey writing sites to recommand?
