WebLit.Us focuses entirely on marketing, promotion and cross-promotion for web literature, which we define as essays, memoirs, short fiction, novels and serials. Leave an idea, take an idea, and help spread the word about web literature!

"Premium" Content -- How to do it, and should you do it?

Disclaimer: I believe this is my first time making a thread here on Weblit.Us, so I fear I may have posted this in the wrong place. Nevertheless, this site seemed more appropriate to pose my questions to than WFG. If there was a previous post on the subject that I missed, I apologize.

So...

Write *me* something... please?

I thought I'd take a leaf out of @GabrielGadfly 's book and post a topic here about my call for guest authors.

As explained on my blog, I'm going to take a hiatus in March because I'm feeling close to burn out (and when better to take a hiatus then right after finishing a book?) That's where you come in - and get a chance to showcase your writing to a new set of readers.

A cross-promotion idea

Earlier today Merrilee passed the prolific blogger award to Anna, who duly passed it on to me (and six others).

Character death.

I think this applies for serials, novellas, novels and shorts.

How do you feel about character death?

For me, I don't like character deaths where they are plain senseless. For me, character deaths add to the tragedy/sadness/pathos. I don't like doing it - but sometimes, it's an essential plot device/tool.

Thoughts?

RIP JD Salinger

Called perhaps the greatest writer of the post World War II generation, he died after living as a recluse for fifty years. As writers, no matter the stripe, if you were a fan or never touched a word of his, it's a moment to acknowledge.

"We're freaks, that's all. Those two bastards got us nice and early and made us into freaks with freakish standards, that's all. We're the tattooed lady, and we're never going to have a minute's peace, the rest of our lives, until everybody else is tattooed, too." -- Franny and Zooey

A reorganization

Having some difficulty with my home email, so anyone who has emailed me, I apologize for the delay in replying. So, Mei, I will get back to you, I promise. Also, I'll be reorganizing my web blog a bit, as things will become better... organized. >.>

All Black Mask and Pale Rider adventures, plus related tales will be under BM&PR. This will also include the cast of characters short description.

A section will be devoted to Canyons of Steel, a series of sorts, but not one I keep updated as well as I'd like.

How to set up spoiler protection for Drupal forums

Maybe this is obvious to all the old Drupal hands around here, but I thought it was a neat trick: a post from Gabriel Gadfly's blog about setting up spoiler formatting for Drupal.

Logging in to Weblit.us

So... when I go directly to Weblit.us by typing the URL into my browser address bar, I arrive at the site already logged in. However, when I'm on another DigitalNovelists site and go to Weblit.us by selecting it from the DN dropdown list, I arrive at the site as a guest, not logged in.

Is there anything I can do so that Weblit.us remembers me even when I'm coming in thru the DN bar, or is it just One of Those Things and I really should learn to remember my password? Has anyone else noticed this quirk?

UK Meet Up?

Hi Guys,

I know that several of us are UK residents, so what about a UK meet-up at some point in the next few months?

Write Me Something! Guest Author Call

So, as alluded to in this topic, I'm up to my eyeballs in poetry. I currently have 18 more acrostics to write, and since I want to get them done in a timely manner, I'm putting most of my creative energies towards that. Add in a site I'm designing for a coworker, no less than three papers I need to critique for friends, my day job, life's typical nuisances and I'm not left with much time to write poetry not related to the chapbook or to work on weblit resources articles.
