Thank you to everyone who left suggestions for our featured stories this season and congratulations to our authors!

Everyone get reading!

It's that time again! We are in need of some new featured stories!

For the next week we'll be accepting submissions via email (archive@nsync-fiction.com) and twitter (@nsyncfiction) for the story that's flying under the radar and you think everyone should be reading.

Each person can suggest up to three stories. Submissions will be accepted until 8:30 am EST on January 10th. The top three suggested stories will be Featured for Winter, the fourth being mods' choice.

Secret Santa 2011 is coming to a close! We had a banner year and a massive turnout--give yourselves a round of applause and a pat on the back!

Please be sure to read the stories that interest you and leave a review-- authors work very hard on these stories.

If you've NOT yet posted your story, they are officially LATE! If you haven't been in touch with me about when you'll be posting your story, you have until tomorrow to do so. On 1/2/2012, stories will be reassigned so that no writer goes without a gift. If your story is reassigned, you will not be permitted to participate in the next Secret Santa Exchange. 

Sorry kids, them's the breaks. It's simply not fair for someone to get a story who hasn't submitted one.

Got Twitter?

If you're an *NF Author on twitter and @nsyncfiction is not following you, send us a tweet or DM so we can fix that!

Writer's Chat

Weekly on Thursdays, 8to 10pm EST at http://chatzy.com/38998508303774. Bring your story questions, problems, dillemas. We'll chat it out!

Can't make the chat? The room is always open. Send up a flare that you'd like to chat and most likely some authors will join you. Want to have a private chat? It's easy to create your own room!

Santas may begin posting their stories in the 2011 Challenge beginning today! o/ 

Remember that stories must be complete and posted by midnight on 12/31/2011. Stories are considered late after 1/1/2012 and at that time we will determine if stories need to be reassigned to a fill-in author. 

Enjoy your gift as well as everyone else's-- and please don't forget to leave a comment! Authors have worked very hard on these stories!  

The archive has seen a little upsurge in users lately, probably due to the Awesome August challenge and we here at NF just wanted to take the time to welcome you to the family!

I've also been getting some general questions about how to use the site (posting a story, submitting to a challenge, etc). All of this information can be found in the Help/FAQ section.

Also if you are new PLEASE familiarize yourself with the Submission Rules. We are a pretty laid back community and, compared to a lot of others, have  pretty lenient submission requirements but we must insist that you adhere to them.

And finally, take pride in your work! Check spelling and grammar! Paragraph formatting and punctuation are your FRIENDS. Get a beta and make your story the best it can possibly be.
