Thanks Dirk.

This is a really good idea.

Quoting Dirk--"The best way to prevent new reviewers from reading your story is to put a BIG NOTE in the content summary for your book and/or right at the top of your initial chapter. I just did the same for "The Rise of Connor v1". I replaced the prologue with a big note that asked people not to review it as it will soon be replaced with v2. I also made all the early chapters (1-15) inactive, to further reduce the chance of anyone new accidentally reviewing it..."

How are you going to revive this site if you don't accept new reviewers?

When I joined this site there was a group of writers who made sure every new member who posted had at least three reviews. Most of them have moved on. I suggest we start giving new members at least three reviews of their work.

I know those reviews encouraged me to continue on with TNBW. I knew I needed a lot of credits because I was a writer on steroids, and I reviewed my ass off. I reviewed people that I knew wouldn't review me because of the genre I chose. I reviewed whole books because they told good stories. I think I did 1000 reviews in that first year and I received half as many reviews back.

To me it's a simple fix. You want to revive TNBW, review new members. Make them feel welcome. I know that in those early years the welcome I got from the members made me want to spread the word about the site.

I am not worried about the writing skills of the members of Booksie compared to mine, nor am I worried about the method of reviewing over there. I AM worried about my portfolio. It contains at least 200 pieces of work. Are our portfolios going with us? Will it stay here until we transfer it to a thumb drive? And if they are transferred to Booksie, that's a lot of data transfer.
I am worried about my banking information being transferred, too.
Also, I wish Sol would come into the thread to answer our questions and give us some idea of what HE's thinking.

Doug--
I am glad, too, that you had good first responders tending to you! CHF is no joke. Praying for your continued recovery.

In Lincoln's defense, he wrote the Gettysburg Address on the back on an envelope on the train ride there.

Jack the Knife wrote: I just finished reading a thriller by Brad Thor, a bestselling novelist. He starts so many sentences with “ing” participles, it is painful to read. Where are the editors?

When you have a huge fan base you don't need no stinkin' editors.

Marylin--
I'm praying for you. If you don't believe in God, just think of them as rays of positive energy. See you when you get back.
Take care,
