New Network Page Forums

We have a new format for the Network page that we are going to try out. Cross your fingers and hope for a success! Rather than a simple listing, we have placed the directory onto a forum.

We have also decided that Network members will be required to sign up for the forums. Though we aren't going to reject your story if you don't, we hope you will use this opportunity as another resource to get your story out there, as well as check out other Network Author's stories.

Differences:

1. Bragging rights will now be user uploaded. Rather than filling out a Network Accomplishment form, you will create a new post under your name.

* All new posts will be validated, so they won't show up until a moderator has approved of it. Moderators will look to be sure your bragging right is valid, and that you didn't break any posting rules.

2. Besides having an author listing, stories will now be separated by Genre. This will also be user uploaded. It will be up to the author to post their story under the correct genre. Moderators will not do this for the author.

* All new topics will be validated. You may place your story in as many genres that fit (example: AH and Slash), but the Moderators will check each post to make sure stories and genres match. The only story you may not post twice are One Shots. Those may only be posted in the One Shot Forum.

3. Though you can't see the Bragging Rights off of first glance, you will be able to decipher how many accomplishments an author has by looking to see how many replies they have to their Author Posting. So if TwiAuthor1 has 4 replies, they have 4 Bragging Rights to their name.

* Remember: Replies = Amount of Bragging Rights Author Has

Forum Categories:

1. Network Authors - All authors will have a post created by a moderator for their name which will list all of their stories that are in our Tweet Me program. Please check out your post and make sure all is working well. We had to create 98 posts at once in our switch, and it is quite possible a mistake or two were made. If there is a mistake for your author posting, email us and we'll fix it. You must be logged in to give a reply. Only Moderators can create a new topic.

2. Genres - Please read the Rules and Guidelines in the specific genre forum before posting your story or your reply may be rejected. If you would like to see a category that isn't posted, please email us. You may post your OS' along with your WIPs. You must be logged in to post a topic. Moderators and authors alike can post topics.

3. Community - This is for general talk. So far there is only one forum posted along side a Contact a Staff Member forum. If you would like to see another forum, please email us.
