When are we going to be able to post our work?

When are we going to be able to post our work?

Right now! Just got into the office and opened up the submissions. Check the announcements.

[Dan Hocker]

Just a quick question, will the voting be open to any forum member, even those who register after the voting begins? Or do you have to be registered before voting opens in order to be able to vote?

Good luck everyone! C'mon US timezone, be wednesday already!

Voting will be open to all members. There's no real way to limit that sadly.

So, is there to be a thread for commenting on stories after we read them, or is that to be done in the same thread as the actual stories?

Hmm, I'll start one up.

[Nik Houser]

Oh damn, I somehow managed to not capitalize part of my story's title in the name of the thread. Is there a way I can go back and fix it? I've been trying to manage it by using the edit entry feature, but can't manage to actually change the title of the thread itself so I can capitalize Inferno.

Story's submitted. Now I think I'll go lock myself in a dark room and whimper softly for a while. (I'm prone to stress-related seizures, and I just can't handle the pressure, man.)

I'll fix it Nik.

[Dan Hocker]

Errr maybe I won't. It appears to be fixed in the actually post, but it won't change the thread title for some reason. No big deal though.

Well, I got mine finished and posted in time. I surprised myself since I tend to stretch out everything that I write. When I first read the submission guidelines, I misread and thought it said a 10,000 word limit and wondered how Dan could consider that to be a short, short story. Then I realized it was characters and thought I had no chance of writing something that small. Good luck to everyone.

[Ricky]

I'm probably reading this wrong, but does submission voting begin today, or after the 1-week submission window (I'm guessing that would be the 8th)?

And thanks to everyone at CD who got this organized. What a fantastic idea and opportunity for writers.

[Antmusic]

I believe next week, Ricky.

[Dan Hocker]

I believe next week, Ricky.

Correct, voting will begin after the submission period. Probably the 8th maybe the 9th depending on the schedule around here.

[JJ Holden]

Oh my, hitting that submit button was scary!

Having said that, thanks everyone at CD for this. It's very, very cool.

You aren't kidding that it was scary hitting that button. But it was a bit freeing at the same time. Good luck to all!
