Adventure is Afoot...
Dear SFFA Participants,
For those of you who have managed to endure weeks of silence in the Adventure, we ask for your patience; for those of you who have recently joined, welcome aboard; and to those who are interested in partaking in the Adventure, soon you will be able to do so much, much more easily.
Changes are coming, and new management styles are underway.
Look forward to more soon.

Tips for Beta Readers
Interested in becoming a beta reader, but have some questions? Already a beta reader, but feel over your head? Check out skulblaka_fricai's new Beta-Reading Tips guide on the forum. Feel free to ask questions about what beta-reading is, how to do it, and advice on aspects of beta-reading.
(A beta reader is an editor who can read over your chapters before you submit them to offer advice, as well as to pick up on grammar/spelling/punctuation errors a word processor might not notice. Come on over to the Beta Readers board to learn more, find a beta of your own, or even become a beta for someone else!)

New Featured Fiction Style!
You may have noticed that lately there hasn't been a lot of traffic for the Featured Fiction , be it in polling or in nomming. So, in order to boost the "reward" for being a Featured Fiction, winners of the Featured Fiction will no longer be featured for just one week, but two!Of course, this means that polls will also last longer (instead of the typical one week for polls, they will last for two).
The current Featured Fiction will still last for the normal one-week standard: it begins today on April 18th and ends on April 25th.
The next Featured Fiction poll, however, will begin on April 25th and end on May 8th.
On May 8th, the winner of that Featured Fiction poll will be featured until May 21st!
A few new requirements have been added as well, though, so make sure the story you nominate fits the new requirements!:
a.) If a chaptered story, it must have at least four chapters OR a minimum word count of 10,000 words.
b.) If a one-shot, it must have a minimum word count of 1,000 words.
Poetry, clearly, would be an exception to this rule, and placed in a poll with other poetic pieces. All other rules/requirements are the same: it must have been updated within the past year, it cannot be your own story or previously featured, and any nominations should be PMed to SFFfeaturedfiction.
Happy nomming! :)
