This summer's review of the rules has lead up to this moment. We have to start cracking down on the amount of rule breaking that is going on. I don't know why it's so challenging to read and abide by a rather simple set of rules but somehow people continue to do so.

The amount of stories that are being posted with serious issues in grammar, spelling, and punctuation will be addressed. It's time to start using spell check or finding a beta reader that has it!

People hogging the most recent page is also going to be watched, and addressed when it becomes an issue.

READ THE RULES! If you read them forever ago, refresh your memory. If you've never read them, why not?

Even if you are not a forum member, please go read this post! It's very important!

Thank you!

Hello everyone. Please refrain from posting a story on this site unless it's ready to be posted.  I have noticed a few stories that seem ready to go but when you click on them it's only a coming soon thing. All that does is take up space on the most recent list from stories that are actually being written and ready to go. You can always add an author's note on your current stories with a 'coming soon' teaser, but there's really no reason to post before you have anything written.

Also, please take a minute to edit your stories. We talked about this a long time ago and it seems to be a problem again. I feel like a lot of the stories being posted aren't being edited for grammar mistakes etc.. If there are a ton of mistakes in your story, no one is really going to want to continue to read them, so please take a minute and think before you post.

Thanks so much! Also watch your banner sizes! 300 x 300 or not more than 600 pixels!
