Thanks, that helped clear a few things up but I've got another problem now. I'm in Hufflepuff so my HoH is Roxy Black but according to her sig she's on holiday. Is there anyone else that can add me to the house or should I just wait it out?

wishbones and witches:

As Hufflepuff Prefect and admin, I have added you to our house. Welcome and don't be shy, come in and introduce yourself.

hellloooo

I'm trying to submit a poem to the archives but it's only 65 words long and so is too short. I don't want to add words for the sake of it because it's written in a specific style, but I'd really like it on the archives.

Do any of you Mods have an idea what I can do - pretty please - :o

I believe that the software will only accept fics of 100 words or more, so it's not something we can change. But, I believe the rule is that for poems, author notes etc can be inserted as part of the story text in order to bring it up to the required minimum

Hello mods :)

I tried getting into SPEW, but I didn't have the qualifications of 75 posts, so jenny b sent me this link and the boards tell me this:

2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I let her know and she resent the link and said I should be able to get onto the SPEW threads. I also get this for the Daily Prophet Classifieds. Any help on this matter would be a ton of help.

Thanks :)

Links to five reviews posted on MNFF:

We would like to see a bit of a range - some positive reviews and some more critical ones. Try not to show reviews that all point out the same problem. Try also to link to reviews written for a fairly wide variety of fics - it makes it easier for us to get a good idea of your reviewing skills. We specifically ask that none of your presented reviews are written for the same piece of fanfiction, to get a better idea of how you approach different kinds of stories. Also, please note that if we feel that we do not get a good idea of your reviewing skills from these reviews, we may ask to look at some more.

Why do you want to join SPEW?

How do you think you will benefit SPEW as a member?

This is your chance to brag a bit about yourself. What do you want us to notice about you? Why should we accept you?

---

Please sign your PM with the name you would like your fellow SPEWers to refer to you by, should you be accepted. You must also submit a request to join the SPEW usergroup. This will be either approved or denied depending on the outcome of your application.

If I was incorrect in deciphering what you needed, please shoot me a PM.

I came here via Perfect Imagination. I am accredited by their beta listing. Would you mind explaining how I gain access to the beta areas? Where do I send my e-mail of acceptance from P.I. to validate my Mugglenet account?

I have sent a PM to the SortingHat, but received no response. Is the system automatic or manual? Just so I know whether I should just be patient or whether there is something wrong...

Thank you!

Es:

You are now in your house, so you should be able to see the beta forums. Once in there, you can read the rules and instructions for posting and providing your PI information.

Why was my stoy not accepted in here.
Please answer.

Why was my story rejected. And nobody told me why.
