I know Anita Mumm has worked with members from the site before. She's taught a Strongest Start class in the past.

Hi Joyce Anne,

You got it. If you need any additional help let us know.

Sol

Hello all,

I'm pleased to announce the winners of the Winter 2018 Flash Fiction Contest. They are:

Grand prize:  Tragedy Level 9_Flash Fiction by Roxanne

Runner-ups:

Thumbs Up by Ann Everett

What's In A Name by Brian Asher

Congratulations!

The problem is that the book was originally posted in January 2017, before the valid date. Even if you add new chapters, the system goes by the date that the first chapter was posted. You'll need to create a fresh book and put those chapters into it. You can contact me about it if you have questions or want to discuss further.

Sol

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

It doesn't really matter. Ideally, they should be posted as individual chapters within the same book, just as you would post for review.

Post them all together. Just like you would post a normal book. You can post more than one entry.

Hi Seabrass,

I'll take a look. It might be a bug in the contest system.

Sol

No idea on this one. I'll give it a look. Strange.

Hi Alan,

I see what you mean. We'll look into it.

Sol

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.

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.

Just a belated note that the Flash Fiction contest is closed. We'll be announcing the winners in approximately four weeks. We're also getting ready to launch a new contest shortly.

Sol

Congratulations!

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.

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?

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 Norm,
What browser are you using? They look normal to me.
Thanks,

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.

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.
