SITE NEWS: JUST IN!
See that little speech bubble icon at the top of the screen? Click on it. It leads to our new (drum-roll please) chat box! Please note you won't be seeing me there for a few months, as I won't have access to my desktop for a while, and my laptop doesn't have the current plugin installed.

PLAYER-WRITTEN ARTICLE
There's no one here to write this, so I'll do it myself. I'd like to remind everyone to read the rules carefully, and to follow them. If you're looking for a herd for your horse and don't want to make your own, I have created a herd that you may wish to join. It is called the Rosewood Tribe, and both the sign-up thread and the roleplay thread are stickied, so you should have no trouble finding it. I am also having a contest once we reach ten herds. The four herds that have the most posts in their roleplay threads at the end of the contest will get their own boards! The Rosewood Tribe WILL be included in this contest.

GUIDE TO BEING PUBLISHED
This is a guide to getting your player-written article published.
1. Write your article. Make sure it is related to the site, or at least to horses. For example: Three players send in articles. One is a guide to possible horse colors. One is a review of the new plot. One is a story about the player's sister. The second player's article is the most likely to be published, followed by the first player's. The third player's article would never be published. If no articles are sent in except one unrelated to either the site or horses, then I will write an article.
2. Proofread your article. Make sure there are no spelling or grammar mistakes. If an article is chosen to be published, any spelling or grammar mistakes will be fixed, but it is more likely to be published if there aren't any.
3. Get feedback from others. This step is not necessary, but it really helps to have someone say, "It's great, but maybe you could change...".
4. Send it in! Message me with your article. If you send it to anyone else, it will not be published.
