Mod Post: A poll, and important questions

[laughtersmelody.livejournal.com]

*waves*

Your friendly mod here. :)

You might have noticed that there haven't been any prompts lately. Very honestly, the lest few weeks of school were so incredibly busy for me that I honestly just forgot about posting them. Then, once summer vacation rolled around, I was out of the habit entirely, and so...no prompts. *blushes* My very sincere apologies for anyone who's been looking for them.

It does, however, lead me to a question. There have been very few responses to the prompts over all, though I've been posting them for more than a year. Are the members of the comm still interested in them? Or should I suspend them permanently? Should I post them less often? What's your opinion?

[Poll #1842296]

That leads me to a second question. The comm is very quiet. *insert crickets chirping here* It's almost always been that way, but I would love to change it. I'm just not quite sure what the comm needs, though I do have some ideas. But I'd like to hear your thoughts.

What do you think the comm needs? What would you like to see? Do you have suggestions for promoting the comm?

Please post your responses here, and let me know. :) Or, if you have another idea for the prompts, one that I didn't mentioned above, feel free to suggest that too.

Take care and God bless!

Active beta readers. I have raging insecurities when it comes to my grammar and have been massacred on LJ for it, that's my main reason for not posting. It's hard to find betas for religious/spiritual fics.

Active beta-readers is a great idea. We do have a beta readers section here, (you can find the tag in the tag list and the sidebar) but there hasn't been much participation with that, unfortunately. :-/

I'm sorry that you've been attacked on LJ for grammar issues!

I am crazy busy most of the time, but...what fandoms do you write for? I'd love to help somehow, if I can. Even if I don't know the fandom, I'm still happy to read the fic. I do that often for the other website I run. If you want to talk more, feel free to PM me, and we can discuss it.

Renewal, Christian Romance

[carlene houston havel (from livejournal.com)]

My first novel, “A Hero’s Homecoming” is a Christian romance was just released at http://www.Inspiredromancenovels.com (also available at Amazon.com). It's the story of a charming atheist, Rich Martino, who is baffled by a believer named Charlotte. Thank you for checking me out! Carlene Havel. What happens? Colonel Rich Martino returns home from overseas to find everything has changed and nothing makes sense. His wife Rita has disappeared. His credit cards are invalid. A stranger is living in his house and he keeps running into people who are convinced he was killed in action months ago. Worst of all, his wealthy father has suffered a stroke. Psychologist Charlotte Phillips claims to be his comatose father’s legal guardian. Rich is determined to gain control of his father’s money and unmask Charlotte as the gold-digging schemer he’s certain she is. He is shocked to find even his father’s crusty old attorney has been taken in. Can Rich straighten out the mess his life has become?

Hello, and thank you for posting a comment about your book here on CFF. :)

I glanced at your book on Amazon, and it sounds like a very interesting story. I don't know if you have an LJ, or if you are also involved in fan fiction, but you'd be welcome here in the comm. :)

Take care and God bless, and the best wishes for your writing career!
