It occurs to me that if Donald tells his legions that the vaccine contains the disinfectant he suggested people inject, far more folks would be vaccinated. Of course, then RFK Jr. would have come along and revealed to people that the manufacturers, all of whom are secretly working for the Chinese government, are leaving out the Lysol for batches of vaccine going to red states. But once they're wise to the conspiracy, MAGA will storm Costco locations throughout the blue states, looking for Lysol. And if they run out, they can inject the highest quality maple syrup imported from the Union's newest northern member state.

The South shall rise again!

Thanks, Alan.

Funny thing. I forgot that, in American English, a rumble usually involves gangs/groups. So now I'm trying to decide if I should keep the rumble/rumbly terminology. I'm leaning toward keeping it.

I'll go with Sir Remington (Rummy) Rumblebottom IV. It's unused. And that gives me Sir Rummy, which is perfect.

Sol,

The help documentation still refers users to support@thenextbigwriter.com rather than contact@thenextbigwriter.com. Also, last I checked, the site references the support email address when new users are trying to sign up and have to verify their email address. If they have an issue at that point, they won't be able to sign up, and we'll never know it.

At a minimum, is it possible for you to set up a simple forward of support emails to the contact email address, so that it's at least being monitored? The latter approach seems like it would involve less work.

However, the help documentation also still references the obsolete phone number, which should simply be deleted.

Thanks
Dirk

Thanks for checking that. Didn't even occur to me. I had a look at it. Although you can use copyright to try to prevent anyone from using a unique name (Harry Potter?), if its important enough to protect all uses of that name in any fictional work (Harry Potter?), they'd almost certainly have to go for a trademark (eg droid). The example you found doesn't appear important enough that anyone would bother. Also, I only use the name once (I use Sir Rumbly everywhere else), and mine is Sir Reginald Rumblebottom IV whereas they use Lord Reginald Rumblebottom. Also, mine is the name of a relatively unimportant android in one chapter of a sci-fi novel, whereas theirs is something totally different.

I'm pretty sure I'm safe.

Okay

Cool. What do you foresee people uploading?

Sol, happy new year. We have a returning user (whatta) whose account was created in 2006. He can post chapters and short stories, and the posted works show on my home page, but when I look in his portfolio, the book (Tropical Cancer) doesn't show up. Any idea why this might be?

Thanks
Dirk

Do you mean you finished reviewing a story?

Congratulations, Randy. Terrific accomplishments.

I just read up on it. The similarities are cool. I guess if you're going to invent an afterlife based on Revelation there will be similarities.

Yup, looks like it's accessible and posted in Premium. You're good to go. I'll try reviewing it shortly to make sure there are no glitches.
