Winner of the Short Story Contest

From the Desk of A.L.E.

We had many good stories, but all three judges unaminously chose "The Meeting (Alternately titled: .What would have gone down had The Council of Elrond been held in Thardferr, instead of Middle Earth.)

Welcome

This site is still under development. Most features work, others may not yet be implemented. The purpose of this site is to make communication between members and staff easier, and make information easier to find and access. Some of the new features of this system are:

• New member accounts for everyone, not just staff
• Ability to see who is online (not fully finished yet)
• Support area containing FAQs, methods to contact staff, and information concerning issues (not fully finished yet)
• Ability to communicate with other members through PM, Friends Lists, and a Global Directory (not finished yet)
• Member profiles and options (not fully finished yet)
• Private member forums (not finished yet)
• SPAM and flood protection
• Enhanced staff tools (not fully finished yet)
• New member posting tags

Why was this system launched if nothing is finished?

This system has all the features of the old system, with some extra features added (all working). It was decided to release this system early to allow for the new features that were added (and are working) to be used now, and to allow us to see how things are being used to better improve the features that are not yet functional.

We hope you enjoy this new site, and if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or comments, please let us know.
