Fan Fiction is OPEN - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 06-25-2002, 07:21 PM

You can check out the new layout at: Barrow-Downs Fan Fiction

It's very similar to Fanfiction.net because they have got the best layout IMO. But we won't allow people to submit their own stories.

Instead, we are advertising for proofreaders. If you are interested in proofreading and preparing fan fictions for the Fan Fiction section, please apply to me at barrowwight@barrowdowns.com

Thanks!

Enjoy the Fan Fiction!

I really like the new format! You did a great job! I was just wondering, if I submitted a story before the changes took place, is it still being considered, or do I have to re-submit it at some other time?

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 06-25-2002, 07:41 PM

I lost about 100 stories from May-June when my e-mail crashed, so I recommend resubmitting....

And consider becoming a proofreader [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

ElanorGamgee · 06-25-2002, 07:41 PM

Alright. Thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ithaeliel · 06-25-2002, 07:55 PM

I could be a proofreader! I don't recall more than a few mistakes in any of my writings that have been proofread before. As in grammatical/structural or something else?

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 06-25-2002, 08:10 PM

Send me an e-mail and I'll send you the guidlines for proofreading.

Ithaeliel · 06-25-2002, 08:32 PM

Thanks, will do.

suicidal elf chick · 06-26-2002, 01:54 AM

Hey Barrow Wight! I fmy friend has a fanfic she wants to submit, can she still do it? And can I become a proofreader? That'd be really cool! Okay, bye!

Daniel Telcontar · 06-26-2002, 05:09 AM

Street respect to the wight, guys. It is a really good job he has done with the fanfic. And if you want to be a proofreader, just read the above.

Sindacuion · 06-26-2002, 06:23 AM

Looks great, BW! Masterly! Wicked, even. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gayahithwen · 06-26-2002, 07:06 AM

I think it looks awesome!! Good work, mr Barrow-Wight! I am forever thankful to thee for making this site!

Aosama, the Wandering Star · 06-26-2002, 08:22 AM

Oooh! It's lovely, Your Wightness, thank you ever so much!
And I see you've made a seperate category just for the Legolas stories... well done. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Talking Hawk · 06-26-2002, 11:15 AM

I had three stories posted on this website, one rated a four, and the other two rated a three... The two rated a three are no longer there. Were they lost or not "good enough" to remain? (is not mad, just confused..) Are only four and fivish stories going to be posted from now on?

Talking Hawk · 06-26-2002, 11:18 AM

Oops, sorry, nevermind! I just read the notice. >.< My apologies.

GreatWarg · 06-26-2002, 05:40 PM

Great work Mr. Barrow-Wight, Sir! Love the new layout, and it's a great way to friend certain fan fics! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Talking Hawk · 06-26-2002, 06:19 PM

(Agrees and nods enthusiastically.)

Ithaeliel · 06-26-2002, 08:44 PM

Oh I just noticed the Legolas category... heehee! Mary-sues beware! Great job BW!!!

Talking Hawk · 06-27-2002, 11:42 AM

I cracked up when I saw that.. And thinking it was a joke, I looked in the Legolas section, and then I found out that Mr. Barrow-Wight was being serious.. o.O

06-28-2002, 09:07 PM

Hey, i'm glad it's opened back up!!!!! I can't wait to read more fics! I just have one question, how long does it take to get your fic posted? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sir, would these be stories that were already posted on the board, or (portions of) stories that had just been sent to you
via e-mail? (I'm assuming this is so, just want to be sure so I don't repeat sending in something I don't need to....)

Quote:

"What did you see?" said Pippin to Sam, but Sam was too deep in thought to answer.

Susan Delgado · 06-29-2002, 12:28 AM

So who-all are the proofreaders? I'm one [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 06-29-2002, 07:11 AM

It is, indeed, time to recognize the proofreaders we have so far:

In no particular order (and I hope they don't mind the publicity):

Liv Uhrig
Leah Craven
Leslie Loubert
Catherine Jensen
Kingdom Warrior
Susan Donell

They are doing a great job!

Raefindel · 06-29-2002, 10:58 AM

Hail to the Barrow Wight for the great job on the new Fan-fiction site and Hail to the proof-readers.

Luinsewiel · 06-29-2002, 01:19 PM

I love the new layout of the Fanfiction section and i might consider being a proofreader but I can't get past the first chapter of "dude! where's my ring?" it just takes me to a blank page that says something i don't understand. Am I doing something wrong? or is it my computer(it usually is) your help would be greatly apperciated.
Thank ye kindly -Luin

I am a proofreader! Yay!

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 06-29-2002, 01:55 PM

A WebTV user has reported problems with the fan fiction layout, but I think that has to do with popup windows. What is your configuration, Luinsewiel?

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 07-01-2002, 07:38 AM

The proofreaders are defiitely helping, but we could use a few more. Any more volunteers out there??

Joy · 07-01-2002, 01:28 PM

BTW all, KingdomWarrior is Me!

Samwise · 07-01-2002, 01:32 PM

This is gonna sound dumb, but what exactly does the proofreading entail?

Quote:

He turned and saw that Sam was now standing beside him, looking round with a puzzled expresson, and rubbing his eyes as if he was not sure that he ws awake.
"It's sunlight and bright day, right enough." he said, I thought that Elves were all for moon and stars: but this is more elvish than I ever heard tell of. I feel as if I was inside a song, if you take my meaning. "

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 07-01-2002, 02:54 PM

E-mail me and find out.

Luinsewiel · 07-03-2002, 10:01 AM

configuration?........ [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] what's that....? Oh and when i try to go to the next chapter it says

The parameter is incorrect.

no matter what chapter it is.
