It may be true, it may not.
But I have gone to Red Room (yes, it's free) and my work has gotten recognition by Reader's Digenst and Haggard Publishing.
I love it here, and I truly pray we can stay afloat.
Click on any sentence and you are there.
But Red Room is a classy site with no spam. You have to apply and they let you know in 48 hours or less.
If you send them a private message, give them my name (or any other Red Room author) and you may be able to get in sooner. The reason for the time delay...obviously..NO SPAM.
I love all of you. I really don't think any of you have any idea.
But I do not want to see your work lost and I need you all in order to be who I am. Sick...YES. A fact YES.
OS going under, maybe just hype.
MY REDROOM PAGE
By the way IISTG means If It Seems Too Good to be True
Yes, this is absolutely positively true. If you lived this wouldn't you write about it? Some of the names of characters in this blog are fictitious. This is an account of actual events. Some of the events have been compiled together for the flow of the story. Even when I read my own work, I wonder how it could be so. But if you study your own life and compartmentalize it into less than 200 pages, you would be surprised how interesting it really is!

I recommended Red Room, because it is a place to go while we wait. I love it because it has everything, it's classy and it has a visual graph of viewership, and like I said here, It has viewership from the magazines that have been around
You're right RR looks classy.
~R~
And yeah, I'd be willing to pay.. here. When I first arrived there was NO SPAM. It could be that way again.
Lina Sceppasaina has a site on Zoomers that I love. Has a neighborhood feel.
And published you say? I've published here 500 times plus.
Did you get paid? Me neither.
Why are you so volatile? I know this is your m.o. so I probably shouldn't encourage you as I have watched you on other posts take this stand and it is expected.
Yes I got paid $750 for my piece.
Instead of being so nasty, why don't you come up with some ideas?
It is now that trhey should swoop in and come to our aide.
How many out there have PMed Kerry Lauerman ?
or Joan Walsh? There I have given you the links.
BTW Zoomers (Linda's site)is a great site with a community feel!
Couldn't help noticing the way you spelled her name though, in that link you spent so much time on. Is Zoomer's actually Linda's site, or does she just blog there? Serious question..
Like Phyllis says too... there is a playfulness at os, free reign to post silly things as well as great works. And (just had this conversation with my gf who blogs here too-) what makes os OS is the comment sections, the live feel, the all out parties sometimes (or at least there used to be).
Could it be done somewhere else? Why not? Hopefully someone, someplace will, and do it better. Still it'll never be the same, warts and all I love the place and I'll cry a little at her last breath.
Do appreciate your efforts though. THANK YOU (but might as well give up on Kerry. Is he still alive? ha)
Thanks for the swell up, I knew you had a heart.
And yes, to tell you the truth, I am going to miss you.
--r--
Oh, and no-one notices the poor old donkey.

Thanks for presenting another option.
I've been blogging over at Zoomers. Not as many hits as I get here, but they have featured over half my posts.
Nice thing is they have a weekly challenge and they communicate.
Yeah, good luck with Kerry. IF he communicates back, tell him Tink says hello!! :D
and the world itself, macrocosmically, is going
through one of its APOCALYPTIC end of times
phases that get tiresome
when the world doesnt end.
thank u, dear lady, for the suggestion.
but somehow i think this place will follow my mother's
infallible logic: if you worry and worry over something, and
prepare for the very worst, it just won't come true.
A weird way to look at the world,
and not recommended for raising children,
but..kinda true.
Tink will come out of the closet and tell us he is really a little tiny dog.
I can't believe that people would not know Linda,for one thing,and I want to let you know that I was a member at zoomers before coming to OS.Zoomers is Canadian,has been founded not long ago and has a solid base.
I don't care so much for FB .I get annoyed by their strange policy to poke their nose into everything.
I like OS and would like to stay because of the niveau,but I would miss a lot of OSers if they decide not to change.
Can anyone tell me how to back up my blog,comments and other OSers comments and blog posts?
"i need you all to be who i am"
.....the most obvious thing in the world, no matter what 'you all'
we choose. Community? ha, a lost concept..but..maybe not...
A retro-way of living! Nostalgic! To be part of something. Not a hint of shame in that, i daresay..
