Fan Fiction is OPEN
 
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?

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.

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.

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

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

Logan Evans 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....)

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?

The Barrow-Wight 07-01-2002 02:54 PM

E-mail me and find out.

Luinsewiel 07-03-2002 10:01 AM
