Writers’ Workshop chat is on Sunday evening at 5 PST, Just Prowling will be hosting an open chat on writing problems, block and motivation. Right before that, at 4pm PST, is our Writers’ Block. That’s time allotted to just write. It isn’t a regular chat time, just where we can all get together in the same place, doing the same thing – concentrating on our writing. Of course, you’re welcome to throw questions out for answering and get instant betas/edits. Chat is in The Ballroom, accessible from both TM, TMP, and TWA.

Haru has posted a Christmas Challenge to all comers. It's the festive time of the year so why not celebrate it with your Christmas stories, pictures and other submissions! Simply post in your blog or on the forums your pieces and pictures! Help bring in the holiday cheer with your own! Have fun with it and take care!

The WIKTT Archives is a bit sleepy right now - so feel free to upload your work for everyone to read!


•   You’re most welcome to join the FanFiction group on The Masque Portego. It’s run by one of our chat monitors, and one!

•   Remember:
The site automatically generates nifty tags that you can use to link directly to your stories! You can post them anywhere since they are in HTML. To get these, log in to your account and on the account information page, click the link that says “Get a Banner”. Select your story and your preferred size and promote your stuff! I have never seen this kind of system anywhere else; we are trendsetters with having this really cool toy and it took a long time a quite a few people to develop the proper coding for it - so take advantage of this great, new way to pimp your own work!

•   Also, the site is built on 7 different databases. That means that you have to register for each one separately, even though it looks like it should all blend right in.  If you know that you registered for the specific section, feel free to contact me at benevolentgoddess (at) themasque (dot) net
