We are adding an additional writing prompt each day! We know that a lot of site members are looking for something to do at home and we hope that having additional contests will help. The second prompt will appear at 6pm EST each night. We'll keep this going for a few weeks. Enjoy and be safe!

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!

 Welcome to 2020 and to our 20 year celebration! It's going to be fun! If you create a contest that has a "20 theme" we will check it out. If we place the 20 year logo on it and you get 18 reservations we will run it again with a cash prize! Just make it clear to us and everyone that it is a 20 year contest - the title is important too.

| Ms. Snyder: You know what would have been a lot cooler? If we could have seen someone's profile as their color when we visited their profile. Cause if I visited Gloria's profile it would be neat to see it in Silver or Irishrain's in Cherry a little of each writer's personality. Just sayin'... Oh and ya. Steal Green for me its a little of the old, but a little new. Cheers, Fonda

FanStory:
We've upgraded the site in many areas. Our goal was to focus on ease of use and better communication with others.
Key areas to look at are your feedback page and reply page.
Also from your "MY" menu (or profile) choose "Contests". That will bring you to your contests page. This page has been completely overhauled to make it easier to track contests and enter contests. It is now like your own private contest page as you make reservations.
The buddies feature has also been completely changed (yes it existed before but was limited) to allow members to easily stay in contact with others.
There are changes throughout the site in look and feel. But we went to great lengths to make this upgrade seamless. Hopefully nothing should seem unfamiliar just enhanced. If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Tom

Writing a script is fun and challenging. It's also a great way into the business of making money with your writing. FanStory needs more script writers. Last year we only had 16 ranked script writers. Compare that to the 700 ranked poets. So this year we are going to do our best to encourage writers to get involved. We are starting off our campaign with a writing contest for script writers! It only takes four scripts to get ranked. So make this your first. We'll have more contests after this one. Check out our new script contest. Have fun!

michaelcahill: I'm in. Really, that's where the money is when it comes to writing.
Scripts should be the hot corner here!

Brett Matthew West: Script writing is both challenging and rewarding. Script writing is also, as Michael and Tom stated, probably the best way to make money as a serious writer.
I am currently in the throes of creating a daily Talk Show here on FanStory called Cracker Croakers (Featuring Candice and Colton).
So, I can vouch for the work required and the enjoyment of writing scripts.
I invite you to check my Talk Show out some time at your convenience.
I have also inquired of Tom as to the possibility of having a Script of the Month like FanStory does everything else. Be interesting to hear what his response is.

Alexander Vasa: No one writes scripts properly on this site. So if you want to go where the money is, the producer will discard your script if it is not formatted correctly, something I have not seen here once. So here is a link for you to see how it is done properly, and remember, scripts are read by actors, not an audience, so learn how to write them properly. The scripts on this site will not pass muster, and the script still needs a 'call to adventure' ' answering the call', etc, the nine stages of a proper story. But for scripts, the formatting is extremely important and if you don't do it you will go straight to a slush pile that is not read. So if you want to learn, you won't learn it here as I haven't seen one that would pass muster. So try this link so you're not wasting your time.
