Hello, my name’s Jack. I’m new to the website, but I’m having a bit of trouble navigating. I have posted and written a few reviews, so I have a handle on that aspect. I do have questions, if anyone would be willing to answer them for me.
Is there a genre section? All I’ve been able to find is the general workshop area.
Is poetry frowned upon here? I write both prose and poetry, but I’ve found very little of the latter.
Is it okay to upload a revised copy of your work? I’ve seen a couple.
Is there a member-contest section or only the site advertised section?
The star rating on structure, is it referring to the manuscript structure (double-spaced, 12 point) or the narrative structure? I’ve been operating under the latter.
Is there away to bookmark pieces for later reading?
Is there a way to save your favorites, other than on your hard-drive? (For some reason, it seems wrong to me).
I appreciate any response I get to these questions. If no one does, I at least like to say, “Hello, I’m Jack, and I look forward to reading some of your work.
Hey Jack! Welcome, this site's the place to be. haha
I believe there is a genre section. When you go to the workshop, to the submissions, there's a thing on the side to filter the submissions by genre and length.
No, I think poetry's fine. Seems like the majority here writes fiction, but I think there are plenty of people who are into poetry.
A new draft should be uploaded as a new submission.
As for structure, yes I'm pretty sure it has to do with narrative structure, not the formatting of the document.
As far as I know, you have to upload it to your hard-drive and just hold on to it if you like it.
Again, welcome Jack. This place is incredibly helpful and supportive.
