The S&T Times

I finally got mentioned in the S&T Times! Thanks, TD! (Although I still want that full review/interview :D)

One thing though, it's just Eternal Empire, not The Eternal Empire.
 
I'm happy too - Land of the Tsars was mentioned!:D Also, I would like more REPLIES to my stories.

PS - 400th post!
 
I feel accomplished that I got mentioned :D

Except that is was for the story I decided to ditch because I had grand plans that coalesced into a new story, the Mars Chronices.

I have been meaning to write an epilog to seal up EOTN, I may end up doing so.
 
Subscription post and suggestion...

I'm a new member of civfanatics and I got hooked on the S&T section reading Tomorrow's Dawn "Celestial Bueracracy". My addiction to S&T was cemented by following that up by reading "Princes of the Universe". Great stuff.

I'm not sure where to make this suggestion but figured a lot of folks read the S&T Times (this news letter is a great idea) so I thought I'd toss this suggestion out here (please let me know if there's a better place to post this suggestion).

I see a lot of folks posting in stories asking for updates to the story line. As a new member to S&T, its a little disappointing to invest a ton of time into a story line only to find the story was never completed. Is there any way that a thread title can be modified to show that a story has been finished or completed? Maybe the story gets an "FtC" (Finished to Completion) prefix or suffix to indicate that the story has been, well, finished.

It would have the dual purpose of a) not frustrating folks who've invested a bunch of time reading into a great story only to find the story hasn't been completed AND b) it could be a badge of honor, so to speak, for those authors who complete their work (plus, I'm guessing it would drive more folks to read the story since they know its complete).

Anyway, hopefully the community here doesn't mind a suggestion from a newb's point of view. Thanks for listening! :)
 
Thread names can only be changed by mods and I doubt they'll want to do it... *looks at a mod who might be reading this* It probably will take a lot of time to keep up with al the dying stories and such.

Furthermore, there is already a way to find completed/nearly completed or ongoing stories. You can always check the S&T central, which is a sticky thread at the top of the subforum. Here you can check al this ;)

EDIT: wait I just understand you only mean finished stories... hmmm mods might be willing to do that.. the problem is that stories as PoTU will not receive it but it is still one of the best, if not the best, story here..

also: WELCOME TO CFC and S&T :D [party] hopefully we see more of you ;)

The thing is that quite a lot of people out there want to read a complete story, and like practically every form of literature on the internet, that is rather hard to find.

Also, Welcome to CFC, Ken Rahaim!
 
Well, I agree to his point. I also find it annoying to read a great story and I find it incompleted.. The thing is we have to get some Mods on board... *looks again to a mod who might be reading this*

and at this point we DO have a way to find completed stories... the Central...

Thanks Mayor, much appreciated. I figured my idea probably wasn't unique. Just needed to figure out where to look. Again, thanks.
 
we're her to help ;p for the record. I do like your idea
 
Welcome to CFC! :band: :band: :band: :band:

We won't eat you, of course. :mischief:

If anyone tells you that they are less epic than I am, they are lying. Especially if the person's name is Tambien. :D
 
The madness begun!!

I guess people could edit the opening post with a message like 'this story has been completed' - but I actually like your idea better and it might be something to suggest in Site Feedback.

For particularly good reads, look at the thread ratings :)

And welcome to CFC and S&T! :band:
 
Ah, the ability to change a thread title at will...if Minecraft Forums can do it, why can't we?

Oh, yes. :banana: WELCOME TO CFC :banana:

Sounds like a good idea really, always good to listen to suggestions right?

Additionally, welcome to the forums!

I swear I'm still sane. I guess there are benefits to lurking more.
