We've updated your promotion screen! When you promote your work or use Member Cent Pumps, it's easier to use other certificates. For example, you can quickly see if you have a banner active. If not, activate one. All certificates are now available and usable on this one screen.

Paul Borders: Hi Tom, I'm messaging to ask if a recently disqualified entry by the CEC can be reinstated. They said it didn't follow the guidelines of being a story for the Big Historical Event contest.
If it can be reinstated, here's the edited version:
Pope Benedict XVI was the first Pope to resign in over 500 years. In a recent interview with Joseph Ratzinger, he detailed why he stepped down. He was upset the Bishops referred to him as "Eggs". His dissatisfaction grew with his cell phone provider charging him Roman fees. Working church ballgames was demeaning; going from confessions to concessions. It made him uneasy listening to all the rumors he was going to get what Italy is shaped like. He had noticed the church attitude went from Vatican to Vatican't. The writing was on the wall when he found out he smarted off to his superior on Undercover Boss. A business opportunity presented itself for him to open his own pawn shop called Pawntiffs. He chose not to renew the lease on the Pope-mobile. Joseph concluded his comments by saying... "Popin' ain't easy".

Lulube: Tom
I had a banner that I did not use for a long, long time until recently, and when I clicked on it, it vanished, it was lost. I do not know where it went. Why would this happen?

| Becky Kern-Taylor: How do I "quickly see if you have a banner active"???? Sorry I am such a pest, but you see I have my grandchildren help me with things on my cell and computer. "But Grandma it's so easy you just do this and this and look, there you are". REALLY HOW DID YOU LEARN TO DO THAT. "Oh, I just know". That's when I slapped her. :)

Barbara Zapson: I do not understand your banners, member cent pumps or "other certificates." When I joined FanStory, I did so because I though that, once I paid for joining this "free submissions site", I wouldn't have to do anything but submit my stories and poems! Now I find I have to "buy" various items and don't even understand what their purposes are.
Could you please explain all this to me?
Thank you. Barbara Zapson - barbzap37@gmail.com

This is not rocket science, I wrote Sweet swamp Sandy, paid my dues, paid to be in the funny nonsense pome contest, got up today after seeing my poem rise in popularity all week after being listed as a contest entry then someone somewhere dropped my poem sweet swamp sandy off the vote list

We are happy to introduce a new feature as part of our 20 year celebration! Last year we introduced ranked posts. Once your poem, story or book chapter gets 26 reviews it will be considered for All Time Best status. If it receives this status it will be ranked. If you continue to promote your post it can move up the rankings. This year the top five ranked stories, poems and book chapters will receive a prize at the end of the year. Everyone knows that every writer loves a good mug! So if your post is in a top five spot you'll win a customized mug that has your posts rank!
