Thank you, Katrina. That was a very nice and thorough reply. I agree with Kathy that a separate thread under "Fanfic Related" is adequate. It is easy enough to check that frequently. We all have been posting our comments in the separate thread. You could, for instance, start a thread "Merriweather Concerns & Issues" and everyone would post their specific questions there.
I also agree with Annette that your own stable website would do much to inform and help writers. Details could be posted once there and you could have a FAQ page.
Another helpful thing would be to utlize the UBB code when using both Lois and Clark bulletin boards. When quoting previous messages you can set them aside with [ QUOTE] text [/QUOTE ].
There is an extra space between [ and quote so you can see the command.For instance:
It's time to submit stories for the next round of competition in the Merriweathers!
The entries will open this Saturday, May 7, and run until May 28. That gives any writer time to wrap up a story that's posted to the boards or to sort through any stories they've posted to the Archive.
.
On a personal note, I did appreciate your e-mail indicating you have received my submission in the earlier WAFFY category.
Here's hoping for increased participation.
