OK. Stupid question. Is there a thread that tells HOW to participate? I really want to be part of this, but my Search Fu sucks.

This is pretty much it.  The first post lists the origin and evolution. . . .Ed Patterson is the spear head, so any questions should be directed his way. |

Ed, Do you get an email from the forum when new members join and when they apply for membership in the writers or troop groups? |

Yes I do, and then I need to marry them together to get the information. The only time I miss it is when someone join on the Fanclub and assumes I'm doing stuff. I now only fulfill requests once or twice a week. I have a backlog, and also now with authors gifting authors books, I let them pile up for a weekly email.

I don't understand. If a new member joins the forum and applies for membership in the writers or troops group, do you pick them up or do they still have to manually send you an email?

I get two emails from the forum, one that says there's a new member and one that requests membership to either the author or military group. (I most get the latter - very few of the former). I read the info to see if it's sufficient. Then I use the first email to locate an email address to set them up or contact them if there's not enough information to validate their membership. 80% of the time I can set things up without further information, but sumetimes I get a .mil address, which I need to confirm (I won't set up a ,mil address unless the recipient apporves it. No sense clogging up the military highways with 300 emails, so I confirm those address with the troops). As for authors, I generally can piece together stuff - and I more often than not need to research their name as I get a screen name, which doesn't work on the set-up. But I can generally find their book. However, 90% of all new set-up have come directly to me at edwpat@att.netThanks Ed Patterson |
