Season Tickets Results, Activity Genre and More!

Greetings Members!

Season Tickets has been called and the winners posted! Plus, we've
introduced the Activity Genre, Contests and Activities Newsletter and more
quick tools for Premium+ Members.


:: Season Tickets: The Results Are In! ::
The results are in and the winners have been listed for the latest version of
"Season Tickets". Please see:
         "Season Tickets" 
A sincere thank you to everyone who donated and participated!


:: A New 'Quick' Tool for Premium+ ::
Members with a Premium Membership or above will notice new Q links
anywhere they normally can create or edit items. This new Quick Function
opens a leaner version of the Item creation and edit forms, which allows you to
work much faster.


:: The New Activity Genre ::
Our new Activity genre is intended for all of those great activities being
run throughout Writing.Com. From auctions to raffles and games, this is the
perfect genre for those 'things to do' which do not fall under our 'Contest' genre.
Please be sure to update your items and add this genre to those that apply.


:: Newsletter Update: Contests and Activities ::
The Contests Newsletter has been renamed the Contest and Activities
Newsletter. Watch this newsletter for the best of the best in Writing.Com
entertainment. Remember that you can subscibe to and unsubscribe from site
newsletters from your "My Account" page.


:: Reminder: Community Recognition ::
Community Recognitions are an overall summary of a member's presence
within the Writing.Com community. A member's Community Recognition is
displayed as a linked number following their handle. For example:
         The StoryMistress


Clicking on the number launches a window which contains the details of that
member's Community Recognition. In addition, a visual summary of all Merit
Badges that have been received is also provided. For a complete listing of
members ranked by Community Recognition, visit:

:: Reminder: Burn My Letter - Volume 3 ::
On the road to publication, rejection happens. Many excellent writers will
never be published because they fear those inevitable rejection letters. That fear
prevents them from even trying to have their work published and, therefore, their
talents go unnoticed. This is your third chance to change that with:
         "Burn My Letter - Volume 5" 

One random winner will choose either 1,500,000 Gift Points or a One Year
Professional Membership (valued at $419.95). Two additional random winners
will win 250,000 Gift Points each!


Thank you for your continued support of Writing.Com!
