You certainly have some great ideas, I actually wrote to Tom, suggesting that once a blind contest is over all works get released as "new work" for the authors, along with available credits, very well written, and I hope Tom reads this one****kahpot

I have have heard of Tom selling since the very first day I got here. I think getting some publishers to do the occasional review so they can find some new writers would be a great thing, and get him prestige too. But it is just a dream.:-)
Comment from Gloria ....
At first I thought, no way Tom would sell his beloved FanStory to Ryan Reynolds him being a Canadian and all. Then I thought it was a mistake and they meant Ryan Gosling. But no, he also is Canadian, so I don't know what to make of this rumour.
Other than it is very well written, full of lots of humour and a few good ideas about reviewing too.
Wishing you great luck with the Contest Committee. Maybe this one will be the wiener. :)

Comment from Wendy G
Lol. Very humorously written, but the content is meaningful. There are many isues which could be improved, but there is little interest in making it a serious writing site, unfortunately; it's more for forming friendships. For that reason the reviewing and the rankings are flawed, as are the awards of six stars. I don't take them too seriously. Of course I enjoy getting six stars, BUT personally I need to know I have earned them fotherwise they are meaningless. Many of your suggestions have merit, but the whhole site needs a new beginning for them to work. People won't accept change eg they would write frivolous reviews, just so they could post - many reviews are already not really what I call reviews of the writing presented - and of course many don't want genuine help, they just want to write a lot and fly up the ranks.

This is really good. An interesting idea about who might buy it. More interesting ideas how to run it. Hope Tom doesn't double the membership fee. Love the T-shirt idea. You're just full of great ideas.

So are you. I am really busy these days, but I intend to get back to reading your other story. Karen
Comment from DonandVicki
A lot of good suggestions but I feel that what has worked in the past will stay that way. I like the t-shirt as well but I would be afraid to wear it in this society. There are those who wouldn't get it.

Just because things exist, doesn't mean they "work".
Constant improvement and adjustment is what keeps the world ticking. Thanks for the read. Karen

This was (is) a fun read. Thanks for developing it and posting to share your ideas with us.
My subscription is coming due in a week or two and I'm debating what to do.
You made some valid points (which has me on the fence for what to do).
Best of luck in the contest.
John

Well, I doubt there will be sea change. And, I love Ryan Reynolds. The first dead pool is my favorite of his movies. He is a blend of George Clooney and Tom Hanks. Thanks for the read, and your niceness. And a six. Thank you so much. Tell Mom Hi! :-)

Mom says, hi back. Ryan Reynolds is hilarious, and Dead Pool is brilliant. I'm sure there won't be any changes, but I think they should mull them over. They are certainly note worthy.

I am happy we are on the same page, it spares us explaining everything. :-)
Comment from Dawn Munro
Hi, my friend -- I'm sorry for the delay in reviewing for you -- I have too many real-life challenges at the moment and can't be on my laptop a lot.
But I will start this review as I do all my reviews -- suggestions first:
Here, there is no comma needed after --
"...no longer than 30 days(,) is over..." (The comma after "over" is enough.)
(Of course, while it IS valid, my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek with this (very minor) suggestion because of the next words that follow "no longer than 30 days, is over"...
Well done -- a fun read!

You sold me on some of those ideas. I'm at the point now that I just enter a contest that I feel might be a challenge for me and in which I might get at least one vote. I stay away from just any contest just for the sake of entering. And I try to learn something each day, which is why I am trying various poetry forms now.

Thanks for the read. I avoid blind ones because then they do not show up in the mail boxes. Karen
Comment from GWHARGIS
Okay, first off, this was not only funny and well written, it had some great suggestions. I love dialogue only stories as they move so quickly and usually give a better understanding of characters than a written description. Gretchen

Dialogue stories make me crazy because of the tags.
Using color was a great idea someone gave me. Love you sweetie. Karen
