  • Good idea! we could repost the guidelines every 10 pages or so? I don't mind doing that if someone nudges me if I forget.

    Talking of the thread sounding cliquey, I almost posted in my edit on the first page that the thread mascot is called Sir Pugliet as he is mentioned so much. I might just go and do it now!

    Did it! And included a bit about abbreviations. I have to be careful here or I am going to end up with one of my novels tracking halfway down the first page.

    Wait. Does that look more cliquey or less so? I can't even tell anymore...help?

    I was just wondering, WaS, do you think it would be a good idea, in your explanatory paragraph, to mention what your original user-name was? Then visitors to the thread would have the whole picture of how the thread started, and what you've achieved.
    No problems if you don't think it's appropriate. :)

    Yay! anyone feel free to jump in and tell me what I should be doing. Kind of making it up as I go along here!

    Yay! That's brilliant, WaS!

    *stern voice* Have more confidence!

    *hides under table and waits for people to shout PENGUIN!*

    I think reposting the rules every so often is a great idea, once people have had a chance to think about them and comment. But shall we see if the person who makes post *gulp* 1000 will incorporate them at the head of the post, as well? That avoids making WaS's original post too long (only cos it would embarrass her, and might put people off reading) and is a nice easy one to remember (in addition to reposting every so often).
