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.

Forum Link >>> http://z15.invisionfree.com/Twi_Network/index.php

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.

Review Team Openings

Do you want to join the TwiNet Review Team and help us review stories from TwiNet members?

How is it done?

1. Each week one TwiNet story will be displayed in our WHAT ARE WE READING NOW? section. 
2. That story will have been reviewed by a TwiNet member.

Questions?

1. What if there is a particular story I don't want to review? Once you pass the test, you will get to pick whatever story you want to review off of the TwiNet Network page. 

2. How long do I have to write the review? When you are accepted as a reviewer, we will contact you and set up a date for when your review is due.

3.
What if I'm not 18 yet? We will only accept reviews from you that are between the ratings G-PG13. 

Requirements:

1. You must be a member of TwiNet in order to be a reviewer. Meaning you have submitted an application and have been accepted into Tweet Me.
2. You must pass a review "test." All you have to do is a write a sample review. TwiNet staff reserves the right to accept or reject any reviewer applications for whatever reason. 
3. If you sign up for a date, you must adhere to that contract. If for whatever reason you are unable to complete a review by that date, you must contact the TwiNet staff.

Application Process:

Fill out the application and we will send you more information on what to do next.

By filling out an application, you agree to all the requirements stated above.

That's What She Said: I'm a poor post-grad with a major in Elementary Education, so you may want to start homeschooling your kids now...just sayin'. I actually live in the Pacific Northwest (the only one of the staff :P) and love to correct stories that get the details wrong. And yes...the rumors are true...We love coffee. My dream, besides meeting RPatz and having some fun schmexin', is to open a coffee shop amongst the gazillion that are already in business.

That's What She Said: I like bread AND I've got legs. West coast transplant living on the right coast. I am a huge geek about books, food, and proper grammar usage. Dreams one day of combining all three and helping people put together their own cook books. For now, I bake by day and read (and write) by night.

That's What She Said: I'm a self-confessed workaholic and rambler extraordinaire. Poor grammar and lack of spell-check make me twitch. I may be a New England girl at heart, but I love me some West Coast. Oh, and jaunts across the pond work out well too. I'd love to take Rpatz to the bar, get him good and trashed, and listen to him ramble on. We have that in common, you see.

Job: Story Updates

That's What She Said: I put the red in redneck hillbilly and the trash in trailer trash. You think I'm joking, but I'm totally not. I am proud to say that I have all my teeth, though. I'm usually known as the class clown, you can never take me too seriously. I spend my free time telling my child to pull her pants up or by chasing the neighborhood kids out of my yard with a big stick in my hand, waving it frantically over my head, while chanting different spells I learned from reading Harry Potter. My goal in life is to become the crazy cat lady on the street. I'm failing at that miserably seeing how I only have one cat, and he stays far away from me. My daughter and I are convinced he's a secret agent that's out to get me. Oh, and I would totally blow as a beta.

Job: Story Updates

That's What She Said: Hiya! I’m Sarah, ssarrahh, or you could always just call me Cliff. I've lived in the south my entire life but have always had an intense hatred for anything honky tonk. I’d much rather get down to some old school ‘Bump n Grind’. Most of my free time is spent online. I’m a full time reader, regular beta, and occasional writer. I’m a college kid that has no grasp on what I want to do with the rest of my life. On top of my twific fixation, I have a crazy obsession with ‘The Office”, horror flics, and Michael Cera. Live long and prosper babes!

Job: Review Team Supervisor

That's What She Said: Born'n'raised cowgirl run away to the Greater Vancouver area to pursue her schooling and escape a life working in the oil fields. I promised my parents I'd think about earning my History degree and then getting a real job, but so far, I'm still leaning towards becoming the Canadian Batman . . . or being a full-time grammar snob. Same difference, really. Despite living in this place "under a near constant cover of clouds and rain," I have yet to meet, fall in love with, and forget to breathe around Edward Cullen. WTF, Stephenie?

Job: Story Updates

That's What She Said: According to a degree I don't use, I'm a social scientist, but I'm just a geeky girl--no, really. I'm very geeky. I'm into most things dealing with computers: digital design/development, video gaming, occasional trolling for my amusement. I write twific against my better judgment and happen to be a Grammar Nazi / beta. I'm a canon and AU girl, because I love me some vamp/sci-fi/fantasy. I like indie music and films and am a nerd when it comes to copyright law. I'm honest and jaded, yet mostly approachable. Oh, and Robert Pattinson seems like he'd be a good conversationalist, on top of being unnaturally, absurdly h4wt.

Job: One Shot Special

That's What She Said: I work and play in the cold tundra that is Minnesota. I have an unhealthy obsession with Peter Facinelli, Billy Burke and Gil Birmingham. I've met both Peter and Gil, and am on the hunt to meet Billy. This WILL happen one day! I love dark fics and any fics I can find that center around Charlie, Carlisle or Billy - which aren't many. I have an Associates Degree as a Paralegal and currently have a crap-tastic job doing criminal background checks. When I'm not beta-ing or writing, I spend time with my husband and two kids who have turned my hair gray at age 30.

That's What She Said: I'm SwedenSara, a math/science teacher, wife, and mother of two, who spends way too much time on reading and writing fanfiction. And yes, I am Swedish. I live in Stockholm, which is pretty awesome when it's not winter. I do occasional beta and pre-reading jobs, mostly for friends, and mostly when I'm supposed to be writing on my own stories. Procrastination is my middle name. Don't tell my bosses, they haven't found out yet...

That's What She Said: Hola! I'm Elisabeth. I live in Barcelona (Spain). I'm a sports fan, but I'd rather watch than play. I love everything about movies and tv series, from the technical aspects of it to the psychological. I study psychology in the University of Barcelona, by the way. I find human behavior very interesting, and it's also very fascinating how our perceptions depend on the way human brain works. I'm introverted, I don't like people in general, but I like those who have an intelligent sense of humor, and I enjoy reading and writing, because it gives me the oportunity to be in other people's shoes.


Pen Name: shelikesthesound

That's What She Said: I’m a wife, and mother of three, who loves all kinds of music—except country. “He’s cheating, and I’m crying in my beer” songs are the stuff of my nightmares. Oh, and I can make a playlist that’s appropriate for any situation. I live in the Great Lakes area where no one can say the word “wash” properly. It’s possible I can’t either, but I try. I’m one of those people that probably weren’t meant to discover Twific, let alone write it, but I did anyway. Imperfect Edwards own me, most Alices irritate me, and I love it when I find a good angst fic.


The Network

One Shot Special

Is your One Shot feeling lonely and forgotten about? One Shot Special is designed to bring a little life back into them!

One Shot Special is only available to Network Members. It basically works the same as Tweet Me, only these stories will be tweeted out every Wednesday.

How It Works
1. Authors who update on Wednesdays will be sent One Shots from the Network members instead of the WIPs to tweet about on their personal account.

2. Depending on how many authors who update, your story may not be tweeted about every week.
Guidelines
1. You must in Tweet Me in order for your application to be accepted.

2. You may submit as many One Shots as you want.

3. If your story is no longer active in Tweet Me (ie. your story was completed, etc.) your OS will not be sent out until you apply for Tweet Me again with a new story.
Requirements
1. You must have an active Twitter account.

2. You must be following our Twitter account @Twi_Network.

3. Your story must be of good quality, meaning a thorough edit has been done. Project Team Beta offers beta services for multi-chaptered fics. Emergency Beta Services provides quick beta help with grammar, summaries, and/or insignificant plot points.

4. Your story must be located on either Fanfiction.net or Twilighted.
Application
It may take a few days before you receive the Welcome Letter and are added to the Network Directory.

We reserve the right to reject stories for whatever reason. We want to maintain a positive and fun atmosphere here at TwiNet, and if we feel that your story or yourself could compromise this in anyway, we will not accept your story into Tweet Me.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email twi.network1@gmail.com.

Tweet Me

The point of Tweet Me is to help author's stories get known by EVERYONE chipping in. We know there are some great stories out there, just nobody knows about them. So we're here to help.

How is it done?
1. Your story updates will be tweeted on our Twitter account.

2. When we receive a story update from you, we will email you three premade tweets about other Twi stories (from people who have also signed up for Tweet Me).

3. You must then tweet those stories on your personal Twitter account.

* This means that your story will be tweeted several times from Tweet Me participants.
Guidelines
1. We only accept WIPs. With the way we run our system, already completed stories do not work with it.

2. You must tweet your three pre-made tweets within 5 days. If you do not, you will be sent a Warning Email. From there you have 2 days to tweet. If you still do not, we will remove your story(s) from our program.

3. Underage authors (17 years or below) will only be sent stories rated between G-PG13. In return, Underage authors may only submit stories between the rating G-PG13.

4. You may submit multiple stories into Tweet Me as long as they are WIPs.

5. Authors may give their preferences on what kind of stories the do NOT want to tweet about it. Please be very specific when filling out the form. If at anytime you receive a story you do not want to tweet, you may exchange it for another one.
Requirements
1. You must have an active Twitter account.

2. You must be following our Twitter account @Twi_Network.

3. Your story must be of good quality, meaning a thorough edit has been done. Project Team Beta offers beta services for multi-chaptered fics. Emergency Beta Services provides quick beta help with grammar, summaries, and/or insignificant plot points.

4. Your story must be located on either Fanfiction.net or Twilighted.
Completed or on Hiatus Stories
1. Once a story is completed it will no longer be tweeted out, since the author will no longer be updating and won't be tweeting about other stories. However, completed stories will be added to a special page and that page will be tweeted about every day.

2. Authors that have not updated after a month will receive an automatic email of pre-made tweets to tweet out on their account.
Application

It may take a few days before you receive the Welcome Letter and are added to the Network Page.

We reserve the right to reject stories for whatever reason. We want to maintain a positive and fun atmosphere here at TwiNet, and if we feel that your story or yourself could compromise this in anyway, we will not accept your story into Tweet Me.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email twi.network1@gmail.com.

New Staff Member - Rason aka Victoria

We got tons of applicants, and it absolutely tickled me pink that so many of you want to help out. So a big THANK YOU to everyone who applied. The last two weeks would not have been the same without you and all the other Network members. You make us what we are, and I'm so excited with how things are growing so quickly! 

But, alas, we only could pick one. It was a struggle, because so many of you sounded absolutely awesome, and I wish we had a spot for everyone. However, we made our decision based on how active of a Network member you are, how well we know you, and your time commitments around the fandom. We really wanted to pick someone we knew we work well and would slide right in with the team, but with how fast we've grown in just the two weeks, we also wanted someone who had a flexible schedule now and in the future. 

So everyone welcome TwiNet's New Staff Member
