Well yes, but it was always too late for that.

So, can I get in on this? I'm working on something and should have enough for a submission soon. My email (well, one of the ones that I post in public places - you know, gotta keep ahead of the spambots) is nospamplease +at+ ryanballantyne dot name. (One of the nice things about having your own domain and web host is you get to make as many email addresses as you like.)

I'll be happy to read and crit anyone's stuff - time allowing, of course. In fact, I think I'll be more active as a reader than a writer, but I *am* joining because I want to submit something.

Is JoseB still around? I saw he was looking for Spanish-language readers. I speak Spanish pretty well (served an LDS mission to Nicaragua), and would love to read his stuff. I may not be the best at critiquing mechanics, but those are (so I'm told) the easiest parts of writing to fix.

Edit: Actually, I've got around 1700 words I could submit. That seems like a good size. Is there room for me to submit on Monday?

You're the first one to sign up for Monday, so go for it.

Oh, and welcome to the group.

I think Jose's been on a bit of a hiatus, but as far as I recall he plans on coming back. Also, I envy you your domain and webhost. Free servers tend to give you exactly what you pay for.

(This forum can actually only be viewed by members, so you don't need to worry too much about posting your email address as is. Though, I might just scramble that list on the first post anyway.)

I use nearlyfreespeech.net. They charge only for what you use, so if you don't use any resources, you don't get charged. Domain registration with privacy costs about $12 a year if you go through them, and email forwarding (you need an actual inbox to forward to, but you get as many aliases as you want) is a penny per day. Even a poor college student like me can afford that. ;)

Oh, that's awesome. Thanks - I'll totally be checking them out.

Edit: Have you been using them long? How are they for reliability?

I'll have been with them for a year next month. As for reliability, their database servers went down for about an hour once in September. That's the only downtime I've noticed. They seem to take reliability and performance pretty seriously. Their servers aren't the fastest I've used, but they're not what I'd call slow. I've got an installation of MediaWiki set up for the Aquaria modding community; you can load that up to get a feel for how things perform on a PHP/DB-heavy site.

Hum...I guess i could submit monday but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that until I've caught up with a few more critiques of other submissions. We'll see how it goes but I might have to pass.

Good, cause I need time to catch up on YOUR work. :)

Thanks Ryos.

Don't feel you have to submit just because we don't have that many people signed up. If we're all behind anyway we might as well take a bit of a break.

Hey, I'm new here!  My email is  .  Please add it to the list?  And... it looks like you're taking a break?  But maybe I could submit the next time around...

I'd like to submit on Monday please.  (Assuming I'm not out of town again, which may be possible)  So we'll see.

(And I also intend to read a bunch of entries and get caught up on the on-going novels floatsing around out there.)

I only meant "break" in that we had rather fewer submissions yesterday than usual (only one) and that nobody should feel compelled to submit just to fill holes if they didn't want to.

You're welcome to submit this upcoming Monday if you like, Ravenstar. Only you, though; Jason's not allowed.

...

I'm kidding, of course. I'll put you both down. :P
