I just want to shout a huge THANK YOU to the Administrators here. I uploaded my first story, and Open Scrolls is so easy to use. This site is incredible; a community, easy-functions, and great graphics.
Does this sound like an infomercial or what?
I just wanted to let you know that you've done a great thing by putting this site up here. Thank you so much! You kick ffnet's ass!

Well you're certainly right about kickin' ffnet's ass. The amount of crap on that site is just unbelievable. And it's not just the LOTR section. It's really sad though because there ARE really good stories on FFnet, you just have to sift through tons and tons of poorly written marysues and slash fics to find one....  |

Ditto. I gave my accolades in the So not complaining thread, but it bears repeating that I agree. I tried to post to ff.net, but they do not accept MS Works and would not return my e-mails for help. So I skipped them and went on to CoE and Parma. Oh, then I found this place! I tried posting to SoA, but my style is not their cup of tea. SoA does have some good stories, but they also had the link for this site. This is the most friendly site to new authors that I have found. No one judges you harshly.

A personal thank you to Rous - You have no idea how happy I am that you started posting here.
To the Administrators - I love Open Scrolls, and the writers I have had interaction (interACTION) with on a day to day basis.
To those who take a moment - You have been incredibly supportive, excellent sounding boards, peerless mentors, and tireless defenders.
I have been working on my fic (it's three but really one) almost a year, and when I posted here, after trying to post amid groups (it got buried under much more popular stories so I just gave up since noone seemed interested), I wasn't expecting very much. I was pleasantly surprised in the generous private reviews and public reviews I received.
I wanted to say a public thank you to those who take the time to read and review - in particular - Haleth, Rous and Ingole.

Thank you, thank you. *takes big bow* But the feeling is mutual. It has really helped to have reviews. I posted on CoE, but I happen to suspect the median age there is seven. I know there is one other older than I, but it is hard to take reviews seriously when you know they are not adults. This site is much more comfortable.

Cheers, y'all. But as you know, we're passing on your thank yous to all the members because without them, this site wouldn't be what it is.
Happy writing/reading/chatting/posting and whatever else this site is conducive for you to do.
do.

| Anticipating a short offline for hiatus, I went through and found some longer stories that I've been wanting to read. And thanks to the lovely behind-the-scenes folks, those stories downloaded in a matter of seconds. Now I can pop open my laptop anywhere and catch up on some reading. Thanks for the download feature. Ya'll kick booty! |

You know, I started boycotting ffnet over a year ago. I just refuse to read there. Not only are the good stories almost impossible to find, I got tired of their politics. They don't police their site. At all. I understand they aren't allowed to host nc17 stories, due to their server, but I've seen blatent graphic slash rated pg13 that stays forever and yet someone's story can have a rather chaste kiss and it gets the boot. I found out there is a "morality police squad" who does a word search and if the word comes up, they report and ffnet doesn't even check it out.
My entire acount was deleted. No warning, no nada.
To me, it just smacks too easily of - I dont' like this writer, I'll just report them.
Bleh.
Ffnet sucks. I'll stay right here, thank you very much!
Off soapbox and rant now.

It is difficult to find good fics on ff.net and I've been subconciously avoiding that place to come online to Open Scrolls. This site is addictive! AGH!
Thanks admins! You're awesome...even though I don't know any of you personally. You're great anyway! Happy New Year's!
