I hadn't even heard of headhopping until I joined this sight and now that I am aware of it I find some of my older books hard to read.  I didn't know I was reading such poorly written stories. After working so hard on avoiding head hopping in my own I realize how confusing it can be for a reader.

Great job to all the finalists!

OMG I know exactly what you mean Janet!  I have shelves of books that I've collected of romance novels (mostly by what were two of my favorite authors).  I say 'were' because now I'm not so sure.  I recently tried to read one again and it was hard to 'get into' the story because I was constantly looking for nits .  Then I tried to read the other author and now know why when I first started writing I had problems with head hopping!  It was all over in her book.  And I came to the exact same conclusion as you, a mixture of disappointment and hope.  Surely if these well known authors can get published then surely we can!  Now my goal isn't to be 'as good as' said authors but to be 'better than'.  I'm just not sure what to do with all the books on my shelves because I truly don't think I can ever enjoy reading them again...

Thanks for posting this!  Some I've seen before; some was new to me.  Still nowhere near ready to submit my own, maybe next fall?

Hi Sol!  When trying to "publish and review" or "publish and post" my chapters the buttons for said choices don't seem to be working.  I'm using Google Chrome.  The content transfers over from my clipboard quite nicely but doesn't want to save to the site.  Is this a glitch?

Also, like Norm above I have a hard time just selecting one word for inline reviews.  I have this problem with both my laptop, desktop and surface.  Very frustrating.

On the other hand, if you don't review to get points you will never be able to post to the Premium group.  My question is, if I leave the TNBW free group I will still be able to read "free" content in other groups right?

That makes sense, Sol.  I have an unrelated question though.  I think I might be confused on how 'shelving books' work.  I thought by shelving a book it would be like adding it to my reading list on the old site.  On my homepage, or anywhere really, I can't find a way to access the books I've 'shelved'.  Am I missing something?

Does anyone else have problems posting from IE?  For some reason when I put a chapter on to add the "publish" and "preview" buttons don't work.  I select them and nothing.  I've refreshed but no luck.  I've posted chapters from my Surface but it doesn't copy nicely from the clipboard.  On my computer it copies nicely but now won't post.

Found another possible bug Sol.  In my points history page it says I should have 6.5 (which I accumulated through reviews I posted last night).  Now, on my main page it says I only have 2.95.  Any idea where my missing points went?

Put that way then limits are probably the way to go.  MzP, I think the majority of us are posting in the Premium site for now.  Once I start to repost that is where I will be.  I couldn't limit my book to a group unless it was generic, say "fantasy".  I'm not even sure it would fit in the YA group.  Like Sol said, all of your works appear on my homepage because I've connected with you and shelved some of your work that I am reviewing.  There isn't a limited on how many connections you can have is there?
My other question is what is Platinum Membership and how is it different from Premium (aside from being able to add more groups)?

Just to clear my foggy mind, if a group is non credit, does that mean reviews don't receive credit either?  Or does it just mean that it doesn't take credits to post to the group?  I'm so confused...
