Re: New Writing Contest (107 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I have a great idea!
Fanfiction!
Take an established character and write a 1000 words about it.
Luke Skywalker
Harry Potter
Robert Langdon
Wonder Woman
Sheldon CooperCharacter must be a work of fiction (no, not even Donald Trump) and must be well-known.
To add another twist; combine two fanfics that would never go together. What would Conan the Barbarian meets Hermione Granger or Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies be like?
I'm confused; you say no to Trump and then mention possibly using -- oops, never mind, you used Pinhead and I automatically thought Dickhead which of course would be a Trump calling card. My bad. Take care. Vern

Re: Groups list (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
How about something like this: Have a list of all groups (single line for each) show up initially when you click on "Groups" from the home page. Then you click on any number of them you wish (or all) and get the full description of all those checked. You then have to scroll only through those you checked. Never give up. Take care. Vern

Re: Groups list (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Okay, I envisioned that also, but then if you might be interested in more than one group you would have to click back to the list again and then click for that description and so on for any group you might wish to explore more than a name; or alternatively you would scroll through the list with the descriptions. Seems a bit like six in one and 6.999999999... in the other. Works for me. Take care. Vern

Re: Groups list (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
You are probably entirely correct that it might help, but then I fully expect someone would be asking why we can't have more information about the groups listed (I'm assuming name only), which ironically is what the list does now. But to each their own. I'm not voting against it -- I probably would never even notice if it was implemented -- merely playing the devil's advocate wondering about the overall benefit as I'm prone to do; perhaps I'm the only one. Take care. Vern

Re: Groups list (8 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
You have four pages of groups listed when you click on the "Groups" banner at the top of your home page. From the looks of the names I'm not sure how much good an alphabetical list would be if you didn't know exactly what you were looking for when you have names such as Texas Authors, Close Friends, Eternal Enemies, and Mama, Trains and Pickup Trucks to name just a few. Of course if you were already acquainted enough to know the exact name, there is a good chance you could be invited by a current member of such group. Scrolling through the list might also be educational as to other intriguing groups we may have never envisioned. But then I suppose you could scroll through an alphabetical listing also, but doesn't seem nearly as much fun as the random sampling. Just random group thoughts. Take care. Vern

You obviously missed the part about thinking "a sane person" is going to read such a thing; those are the ones you weed out.
No, I am weeding out people like you. Engage yourself in Catch-22 of whether you are sane or not, but you have no keen mind, sane or not.
Coming from one with your unique judgment which seldom melds with reality, I will take that as a compliment, thank you. Take care. Vern
