Hey, Vern! Welcome!


Okay, so you revised chapter 8 and it cost you points? Or do you mean you re-published it? There's a difference, I hope. And I dunno what Vern is talking about with the group that doesn't charge points to post thing. I haven't quite wrapped my mind around the idea of "groups" yet.

Cheers

If you use more words in your edit, then it will cost more points, whereas previously you could add as many words up to the limit without costing any more points; ergo, some (intentionally or not, might post a very short piece costing very few points and then go back and edit it into a very long piece without paying those extra points and also not giving the full credit for those who reviewed it after the revision since they were reviewing a lot more words and only getting credit for reviewing the much shorter original - if that makes sense.

The group thing: You can form a "group" just as this and within that group (you can leave it open to anyone or restrict membership according to your whims) you can choose to charge points for publishing works for review and give credits for reviewing or let members publish and review for free. Yeah, I don't know how it's gonna work either; seems like there will be a lot of divided attention, but who knows.

That's my take anyway. Take care. Vern

Hey did you look at my revised ch 8? I added stuff, and was charged points to edit here. Don't know if you get any points to re-read but I tend to doubt it....

I didn't notice the revision until you pointed it out; thanks. Yeah, I think I got a fraction of a point, but that doesn't matter, would've done it anyway for free. You know you can actually post it to a group (you could start one or join another) that doesn't charge points to post if you wish. That way you wouldn't have to wait on earning the credits to post. Just a thought. Take care. Vern

Oh, btw, I like the poltergeist image; fitting - the brown stuff not so much, kinda the way I felt after being plugged up for four days after my surgery, lol. Take care. Vern

Well, I don't know if you did it right since I found my way in anyway, lol. Okay, so is this going to be the official thread to continue the march into the record book. I'm subscribing just in case. Take care. Vern

Edited for PS: If you want more public participation, I think this thread should be in the general nbw group rather than a seperate group; for what it's worth, but then don't really know how things are going to spell out on here.

Good to see things up and running after the long winter, lol. I seem to have trouble uploading a cover for my book. It finally uploaded on the beta site, but now it won't upload again since it was erased when the new site came on line. I'll keep trying. Also along that line, I never could get the title, fonts, colors, etc. to work with the cover. I won't create covers for all my works, but I hate to have to resort to the default cover or no cover for those I wish to emphasize. Take care. Vern
