I remember when the site concept was first being discussed and I complained about me & bimmy getting banished and everyone shruggd it off.
I'd love to dance and point and yell I told you so, but there's no one left to listen
That's right...we prophesied this! I make a terrible sooth sayer if I can't remember my sooths....

My situation is opposite. I lost my formatting on the old site. No italics ever...and all my paragraphs ran into each other. That's why I just had a space between paragraphs instead of indents.
I'm glad things work better for you!

Bimmy, I totally agree. It's so hard to find anything and I don't have time to search for everything that's going on. The old forum I could see all the new posts on one page, easily, regardless of topic. Now it's all sequestered. On top of that, the new site isn't compatible with my old work computer and my older version of IE so I can't upload chapters. I have to do it from my Surface Pro, and then it strips all the formatting. I hate it.
That stinks. I haven't run into any of those problems. I just miss the community.

Please let me know too, although I'm keeping one eye open when I sleep for bimmy posts!
ps - I like your style. It reminds me of someone else who also reviewed for months before they posted anything and by the time "they" did, "they" had lots of writers feeling heaps guilty about not having been able to recip and feeling as if they were waayyyyy behind! hehehe
Well, to he fair, I've workshopped two books here through at least two drafts each. The first one I for educated pretty good. Lol! I feel like I owe everyone for eternity!

I was figuring on all of that, but thought maybe there was a simple way to tell in case they just decided to post for no points for whatever reason.

Hey,
If you're going for sub/Dom...I'm all for that. But if you're shooting for traditional romance, which I believe you are, you might rethink.
Shoot, you want to go d/s....just tweak Catherine's reaction a bit to the dominance and pain...you may have gold. Lol!
Now we're talkin'.

I don't think the kiss is rape. As written, to me, it feels like a threat of rape.
See how different readers are going to interpret different things!!!
Fun times.

Re: Northern Skies - Janet! (520 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
Has there been a body snatching in Canada? Why are you being nice to me and agreeing with me K? Lol!
K's right. You'll never appese everyone.
And if you are referring to me as a pro.... Bwahaha!!!!!
Another way to keep the kiss as is would be to move the POV to Matthew and establish that his intent was not to use the kiss as leverage. And readers will totally be okay with locking her up...dude...#1 seller Shades of gray ring a bell?
Cutting the kiss from here would be fine too to make a longer foreplay for your readers.BUT...kissing her now and letting her stew for a couple days is good too. It comes down to what you really want. It always does. I've ignored K more times than I've listened to him. And he says a lot. Lol!
Love ya K!

Re: Northern Skies - Janet! (520 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
On the kiss....
This is my beef. Intent. It doesn't matter to me that he stopped. His intent was to sexually coerce her. This kiss was meant as a threat. If he can think this, he's capable of much darker things and is immediately filed as villian in my mind. And this is from someone who pulled off having her hero basically rape the heroine in chapter two and still come out with a loveable hero. Except for K. K still hates him. Its all about intent. Don't get me wrong, I didn't get everyone on board and I have the good reads reviews to prove it. Lol!
How to get around this and keep the kiss as is where is?
Idea: Like you said, Matthew will say he will keep her locked up. They get in each others faces and Catherine is the one that kisses him first. Then he can take it too far from there.
I am special...my mommy told me so.

Re: Wishlist Cont. (212 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I don't know if this is repetitive, but I'd like to see a list of under-reviewed works on a daily or perhaps weekly basis. It was easy before. There was a ranking list and if you headed to the bottom on a daily basis you could see who needed attention. Unless I missing something...which is entirely possible...you have to go I to each posted work to see if they have reviews.
