Feb 20, 2010: Promote your writing

Identify yourself so litfo people can identify you and promote your site here, with a link.

Litfo people: you should be going to reddit, digg, propeller, mixx, whatever, and promoting posts NO MATTER WHAT. Do not use the criteria of the litfo. If you like a writer, but think s/he's having an off day, you should still promote him/her so that the writing can rise above the internet's static. Let other people determine its quality. This doesn't work if there are more people promoting their own work than the work of other writers. It costs time, but that's it. And the net result is a real readership collectively.

Ground Rules

Anybody may post comments on threads to post their writing, but this page better be used with civility. I will delete posts at my discretion, but will try to avoid using that power. This is a BBS for denizens of the litfo who feel it's improper to promote their sites on there. I will try to make sure there are new threads daily and I guess we can also do something like 'post of the day,' as a way of filtering between the sketches and the finished products for readers. In this way, this page can become a dedicated marketplace for readers and writers. Also, since it will have something like open posting, it will not be centrally organized, so if you don't like me, you don't really need to deal with me to get traffic. Grudges are not okay though, whether manifested actively or passively. I think that's it.
