Every work can use some improvement, including this guild. Please offer your suggestions here as well as what you enjoy about this guild.

I suggest a subforum for fanfiction it will make it easier on the eyes and plus it will stay away from the orignal work.

I also suggested you the warnings in first post. It will make it easier for people to skim the first post and if they don't see something they like, such as cutting or gay sex then they can simply leave the story instead of putting the writer down because it's something they don't like to write.

Thank you for your input. If you look at the subforums now, you will see that there are two seperate subforums for origional work and fan-fictions.

There is also a little note in the "Things to remember when posting" thread about having a warning in the first post.

Original is spelled wrong in the subforum title.

Lol. No problem, it's an honest mistake. I'll be on the look out.

Oh, the size tags on the Forum main page are done incorrectly.

It should be

[size=24] Guild Description [/size]


Rather than

[size=24] Guild Description [/size=24]


That extra "=24" breaks the tags.

Thanks, I'm posting this now to let you know that I've taken care of it.

I was also thinking that maybe we could have a Sticky/Subforum for Beta-finding. Beta's are really great to have, just so your work can have a once over before it's posted where EVERYONE can see.

I suggest a poetry subforum.
I think that would be nice.
For those poets out there.

Is that a website that checks grammar and spelling?
I've not heard of it and am not sure what it is, but it sounds good and interesting.
Tell me a little more about it and I'll post a sticky with some information about it.

That is an excellent request, but it is a little difficult to put into action. I want to position the poetry subforum just beneath the original works subforum, but to do that I'll need to move some of the topics around. In order to avoid confusion among members, I'm going to announce the change in a guild announcement. I've already sent the announcement for the day, so it will have to wait till tomorrow. In two days time, the guild will be updated with a new poetry subforum.

A Beta is a person who have to act like a professional editor for you. Once you finish your work and do all your own proofreading and revising, the Beta looks at it, proof reads it and makes suggestions before the writing is posted anywhere else.

I found having someone (who's not your best friend who will tell you what you want to hear, but who will honestly proof read and make honest suggestions for the work) to Beta my works has helped wonderfully.

Perhaps a helpful links sticky in the main forum?

Link it to dictionary.com, the Anti-Thread, TV-Tropes and maybe....some sort of grammar cheat sheet?
