P.S. I forgot to say: the group that's shown the least response is the Premium Group. I was thinking it was because there's such a lot of stuff to choose from, people are still finding their way. What has been your experience?

Jack--If you can, I vote that we change the name of the group to Thriller....

Hey, Janet - As far as I'm concerned, the group is there for like-minded authors to talk about the genre, give - and receive - advice/tips. Don't feel like you have to post your stories in the sub-group. If I were you, I'd post them in the Premium group. Members of the sub-groups to which you belong - and your connections - will be made aware of the posting. And it will get you a larger audience. Think of the TMS group as a place to have a cup of coffee and chat about the genre. That's why I started it - not to develop an elite clique.

That's what I've also noticed, it doesn't matter where you post, on your homepage, it will show. Even better if you are connected - I scan the posts to the Premium Group, but my Connections get first priority!

It will, according to Sol, although he's mentioned he might grandfather those of us who have works in progress to post to a new group without points. Until the groups get more established, I'm continuing to post my stuff in the Premium group. I may post future work in the subject groups, but I'm waiting to see how they are utilized.

Just a question. If we post in a group that takes points for posting, do we have to double post in the group and in the premium/free group and does it take double points?
