Hi... and a Couple of Questions

Hello all --

I'm very happy to have joined this site, it seems like a nice family. And I'll keep plugging along with my little stories until someone tells me to stop, if that's ok with you!

I had a few questions, though, if you don't mind. Didn't want to do anything to step on toes, so I thought I'd ask first.

1. The whole story "voting" thing. What is that? What are we voting for? Are we voting to say we liked a story? I can't imagine reading a story that someone took the time to write and NOT voting my appreciation... but it doesn't seem to be that. So can someone tell me what it is?

2. Editing/bumping stories. I've seen the occassional thing I've wanted to edit in my stories... but I've resisted doing so because I was afraid it would automatically kick my story to the top of the page... which doesn't seem very fair. Can someone tell me if that will happen if I edit?

I won't bore you with info about me, but I'm happy to answer any questions. I do have a yahoo 360 blog that I was updating for a while so you're welcome to check it out if you like. Here's the link:

As I said, I'm really happy to be here, and I hope I can contribute my share.

Thanks,
Alison
