Hi Leanne, I will do a better job of explaining this because I know it's confusing a lot of people. Essentially, there will no longer be a section for Serials in the weekly emails beginning in September. All Serials will/can be in two areas that are both found on The Wall of Serials: 1) On the Wall itself which is where Active Serials are listed. This is like a directory. It's just a listing of all serials that doesn't "update" per serial. 2) If (and only if) an active serial submits their latest episode/chapter using the "Send Us Your Fiction" Form that opens on Friday, then those will appear above "The Wall" of serials in a list form. This is on a "first come first serve" basis. It's intention is for serials to let potential readers know they have an new chapter/episode week to week. This is NOT vetted or chosen by me at all. It will simply be based on whoever submits their serial.
I know this is difficult to understand in words so I will be doing a "Live Demo" that I hope will better explain how this will work in the coming weeks.
So not in TiF Weekly but on the website Wall of Serials. If I haven’t got that right, then a live demo (or even a screen recording would be awesome (and sorry for making more work for you))
I believe I am guilty of the date SNAFU on at least one of my stories because when I posted it and when I emailed were different days, and I probably submitted under the latter. 🤦♂️
I do check and double-check the details every time I submit, but if I ever fuzzy brain it I apologise. It’s disheartening that you have to keep telling people to apply due diligence.
It is. If it wasn't happening so frequently I would likely just never mention it. But when it takes me an hour to just correct the issues before I can get down to the content. Then that's a problem I have to address. I hope I didn't sound too snarky! lol
I think you got across a very reasonable level of polite frustration. Fwiw every time I use the form I’m grateful for how simple and easy you’ve made the process.
Thanks so much for including me in the New Voices with so many talented writers! And extra thanks to whoever nominated me.
Ah! So there will be a serial section in this TIF Weekly based on who’s listed on the wall and submits their weekly link?

An unfortunate number of authors do not read. Especially submission guidelines and deadlines. Big hugs.
