You can edit it up until the deadline. That's why it's the only live book contest around. Good luck!

Re: Question About "Strongest Start" Coontest (14 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
It doesn't really matter. Ideally, they should be posted as individual chapters within the same book, just as you would post for review.

Re: Question About "Strongest Start" Coontest (14 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Post them all together. Just like you would post a normal book. You can post more than one entry.

Re: When is Strongest Start (roughly)? (3 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I would assume, as before, it must be published/republished after a certain date to be eligible. Take care. Vern
Yes, that would be correct.

Re: When is Strongest Start (roughly)? (3 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
We're in the planning phase and hope to launch in two weeks or so. You can enter any book you want regardless of whether it has been entered before.

Hi all,
We had a brief outage today. We're looking for the cause of these brief outages and will solve it shortly. There seems to be a pesky bug in the system that brings the site down every so often. Sorry. We're working on it.

Okay, this is a tricky one because only some people see it. Let me dig a bit more and see what I find.

Re: A little turbulence (17 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Sol, the above pictured display problem is now visible to Linda Ulleseit on all of the inline reviews she's received for her book. I checked them, and I can see them too, so there's more than just my account involved.
We're looking into this but I think it's a setting on your computer or browser as most people aren't experiencing this. Did it start at a certain point?

Re: New Contest Next Week (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I think we're going to launch the Strongest Start before the poetry contest, so I expect it will start in 2-3 weeks. I'm finalizing some details. It generally runs 2 1/2 - 3 months.

Hi all,
We're experiencing a few technical glitches with the site. We're working to fix it but it's possible the site might be down sporadically over the next couple of days. I just wanted to let everyone know. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Booksie and TNBW received a surge of traffic that overwhelmed the server. It could have been a malicious attack but we're still investigating. All should be alright now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Upgrading to Premium (1 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
It depends on how many groups you have. I think there is a limit of 2-3 if you are Basic so you'll have to leave some of your groups. Your work will be restored when you upgrade.

Topic: Premium forum rules (2 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi all,
I want to set some ground rules for the Premium forum. Please keep the discussions focused on writing-related topics. This can include anything that touches on the art and business of writing. They can include updates on your own writing projects. They can also include links to helpful articles, etc.
Posts, such as politics, that are unrelated to writing will be deleted.
Please act courteously. Any threads that contain personal attacks or display rude or obnoxious behavior will be deleted. Posters will be warned. If the behviour persists, posters will be removed from the Premium group.
TheNextBigWriter is composed of many different Groups. If you wish to discuss politics or some other topic not suitable for Premium, you can join a different group or create one of your own.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Re: What's With Some of the New Members (89 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
This imbroglio has been my fault. I've been far too lax with the forums. Allowing a thread that calls out new members is not the best way to go about enlarging the site. Allowing politics and topics unrelated to writing in the Premium forum was a bad idea also. Unless the thread deals with a writing-related topic, it doesn't belong. If the thread gets overly argumentative, noxious, or offensive, it will be gone. Premium is like the town commons and in public, there shouldn't be drunkness, disorderly conduct, or bar brawls, no matter if the participants shake hands and make up the next day. It looks bad for the town.
But behind closed doors you can do whatever you want. There are already plenty of other groups you can belong to. Or, you can start one of your own and create whatever rules you want. This is why I designed the site the way I did.
I appreciate all of your thoughts and feedback. I'm going to close the thread tomorrow.

Re: What's With Some of the New Members (89 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Maybe Sol can stop these forums from being 'public' posts. Maybe we should have forums that we have to join, like our groups here that we have to join. That way, if you don't want to see the crap that's posted, don't join.
I've been thinking more and more of going towards that model. It may be that new members are not immediately put into the Premium group and can choose Groups to join that suit their tastes. In theory anyone can leave Premium, but when you're defaulted into it that doesn't seem to happen. Another idea may be to remove the forums from the homepage. Users will have to actually visit their Groups to participate. I've received too many complaints to think that something doesn't have to change.

Re: SHOOTINGS AND THE SHIT THAT FOLLOWS... (36 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Political discussions are not what the Premium Group was designed for. It's a writing focused Group. If you want to have a political discussion, please do it in a Group open to this type of debate. Thank you.
