Mayhap you should make a new forum for it, under products called: (for example) Author Questions.
Cuz right now, there's only space for five member threads, which kinda ruins some fun since you have to click over to second page all the time :(.. |

That's a good point. Another possible solution would be to take a Darwinian approach and "unsticky" the author threads. That way, threads without much activity will drift back to pages two and beyond. Authors who sign on can see at a glance if there are any new questions. This method may also be an incentive to frequent posting. ("Arrggh! I'm on page four! Maybe it's time to post that link to the new online interview...") |

So we'll force the authors into posting, lest they be forgotten?
You sure don't hold much loyalty towards your kin, Liriel Cunningham  , but yet, I like your demonic way of thought.

Well met
Indeed, the intention is to leave the new author-specific scrolls as "sticky" for a tenday or so, therefore resident Scribes and regular visitors to Candlekeep are aware of such. The authors have also been informed of these personal scrolls so ill give them all time to locate them easily to start with.

That makes sense. Thanks, Alaundo. I'm a little dazed by the speed in which an off-hand suggestion was implemented.
Hope people find this helpful! If not, then perhaps it will at least qualify as an interesting experiment. |

Yeah, we gotta find a dayjob for Alaundo.
I love the idea, but it would be great if all of the 'Question for..' had their own sub-forum at this forum (maybe entitled 'Question for...' or something even more clever). I've seen similar things on other forums, and it might even work here.
It could even include said author's homepage in the first post (most of them are in a previous scroll). |

I agree. I've only read Elfshadow and Dream Spheres (worst combo ever or what?), but I do not think Arilyn and Danilo can function without eachother. When they're together, there's that sort of romantic/comedic element that is most of the reason I love these books above all others. I loved the bits in Elfshadow where Danilo kept poking fun at her and making light of her fear of magic fire! |
