I am so sorry for the multiple posts. I didn't mean to be so selfish. My sweet mother-in-law died on Saturday, and this has been a way of dealing with the loss as we prepare for the funeral Friday. She was a lovely kind woman; her name was Natalie, and even though I married into her family, it hurts and I miss her so. Thanks for understanding, and I'll try to "pace" myself. God bless! 'drea

S'alright, dear

I'm sure Erin and her trusty elves can cope with a little mild organizational work. If this is a way of coping for you, I think it is a pretty good one. Bless you and your family, in this time of your loss.

Condolences

Drea,

Please accept my condolences on your loss of somebody so dear to you and your family. Remember and honor the good things, and take joy in the fact that you were able to share these things with her. The pain will ease with time, but the memories can last forever.

With so many stories at once, it might help people to find them if you organised them in a similar way to Angharad* or Anistasia Allread*, with a central title page as a collection point, and stories, sub-title pages, and series title pages as sub-pages beneath it.

This is a very powerful tool, and allows you to create a sort of hierarchical sub-library beneath the main site, but without taking off to a private page. Other than a few semi-private sites like Author's Haunt or Fictioneer, there are no other public sites which allow such freedom.

If you look at the Outline Tab on your edit page, you can probably figure out the tools available, as there are very few, albeit surprisingly powerful.

If you have any questions, Erin is the primal guru, along with her trusty sub-elves, but I or any editor can help you as well.

Cheers,

Puddin'

* There are many authors who do this sort of organisation, so I chose these because they're both good examples and near the top of the list, so it's easy to find them. If this were the phone book, I expect we'd soon see "AAA Jones" and then "A Mazing" as user names.

I just organized 'Drea's stories

With an author page. I've been trying to do one or two a week and did a page for myself yesterday.

Anyone who wants to do one for themselves can ask me or one of the volunteer editors, as Puddin' says. It's not hard.

Hugs,
Erin
