We hope that everything is fine with you and that you have started well and healthy into the new year.
Over here in Europe the cold season has finally started and we have talked about the site and the people that are here to read and comment and that sometimes give us a very hard time.
There has not been a lot going on lately beside a long and not very polite discussion about someone who talked to many people and as many people didnt like the site and those people were hoping for more romantic fics and the fics are not romantic enough and some writers are really bad and write sad stuff. Putting it in a nutshell: more romance is required for some of you.
Now we need to ask you a question: What do you (our writers) need to come forward?
Is it new ideas? Don't you find the time to write? Or is Westlife actually over for you?
We girls from the Staff have been pretty busy but if anyone has a story to share, romantic or not, dont hesitate to share it. We have agreed that every story is welcome here and we hope that comments like the ones we had here a couple of times didn't drive you away.
Like a book, a novel or a short story each of your stories should have highs and lows, that's what keeps a reader. The lifer can't just come home, make a baby and live happily ever after. We need romance as much as heartaches, suspense and tension. If you have a happy end to share, do so. As well as an unhappy ending or some drama.
As you may have realized, we have lables on every fic. Maybe we could add a little "Happy end- lable" for those of you who strictly need a happy ending. Others might be sad because they dont want it spoiled...
But still we have a little preview into the things that are to come for you. These are Neverland's 2016-Plans and we really hope for a few more writers and nice comments:
- C&R crossroads and roundabouts: We are currently working on four fics with four authors and it is a blast! We can't wait for the finished fics!
- Contest: The contest is still up and running! We had planned it until October 2015, but we only have one fic in by now so if you still want to participate on the time-travel-storyline, go ahead! We will postpone the submission date for another three months until the end of March 2016.
So open you laptop and give it a go! - Favourite Stories... we had once started talking about favourite stories. Maybe we can persuade some of the writers to tell us which of their own fics is their favourite and why?
All readers are of course more than welcome to join in, let us know which of neverland's many fics is your favourite and why.
But! And this is a big but: We dont want people to simply set up a clamour and go into rant against some writer or a story. So be nice and if you have nothing nice to say please have the decency not to insult the others
Now have a great weekend!
Your Neverland Staff
