Okay, it's up in the Science Fiction/Fantasy section. Would you be so kind as to check and make sure everything is good? Especially the cover thumbnail; I'm having some problems getting file sizes right and it may be too big.
Many thanks!

Looks good! The cover's a bit large, but not overly so. It can stay that way. I'll let Roger know (mod of that room in the library) so that he knows you asked about putting it up, and so that he can add your listing to the index.

Yeah, I'd put it in non-fiction, Chris.

Hi Charlie,
I was wondering if there's a place for stories published in e-zines. Should these just be placed in the Magazines section? -Adam

If it's fiction, I'd put it under the appropriate genre.

I have a couple questions, relating to humor.
First, are humorous shorts that have been published okay to put up? Next, if they are, and are online, is putting up the link to the humor short acceptable? I think I would run into problems if I posted the pieces anywhere but where they were published, since they own the first internet rights.

I got a book overdue two months. I've recently heard that it can affect my credit rating. Since I would shoot any librarian who would report it, what would my sentence be?

I have some questions:
Would books printed by lulu.com be allowed to be listed? I currently have one on that site and I may have another later this year (after I've done the editing etc.) Do I have to use my real name when posting the books? I have written these books under pseudonyms, so would it be these pseudonyms that I use? (They are two very different types of books, and the name I use for the one would not fit the other) Thank you for your replies.

Any chance of starting a Film library section?
I've written a couple of shorts that are getting made, and have a feature coming later in the year, and it would be cool to have other screenwriters here be able to cataloge our film creadits in a similar way to the way we do our books.... Willie |

Great idea, Willie. I'll get it up at some point today (dratted day job keeps interfering with important stuff like this....)

Number of posts
Hello,
I want to list my book here, but there is rule that says you must have 50 or more posts. I have 34 under the new webpage, but when you guys ran it in the old system a few years ago, I had over 100 posts. When you moved, everyone started from 0 again. Do my previous posts count, or not? Thanks! |

I think we can bend the rule for you, spy. The restriction was just to prevent spammers and the like from doing drive-bys, and the 50 post thing reflects the level you need to reach for the system to automatically move you from being a Registered User, to a Super Member, so it was the easiest way for us to set it up.
What I'll do is manually add you to the Super Member group, since you're nearly there anyway (and coz you asked real nice-like ). Lemme know if you run into any problems making your library post.

Hi,
I just posted my new book in the library (under children's/YA) but am having trouble with formatting... my list looks ok on my screen but when I post it all just runs together. I just cut and pasted the template from the instructions page so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions for how I can fix it? Also, what is the insert image function and how do find it? Thanks!

Hi Cassidy!
Sorry it took a while to get here. I see you have the formatting squared away. As for the insert image thingy, it's the yellow box with tiny mountains, you'll see it in the tools when making a post. It looks like this: When you click it, you get a box where you can enter a url, such as a link to photobucket.Hope that helps. Feel free to drop me a PM if you are still having trouble making it work.
