neoveller

Back in the olden days, we figured we'd just plug facebook chat in this to give us the chatroom functionality. Then we realized people detest facebook, which means not every user could chat. So now there's a non-facebook login. We're going to remove the permissions once we have some low traffic time to do it--too much server load right now to crash everyones' stories temporarily.

Any thoughts on the Browse page? The books on the shelf are representative of a few attributes of the books. Width represents page length, height represents view-count, rating in stars is displayed, number is of authors, and letters represent the genre of the neovella.

If we can scale up to a point where people know about us, I'm not again allowing lone writing. You raise a very good point, and I'm going to admit I know nothing of the space except my own joy from writing. I misread your previous comment--allowing users to write at least one entry when alone in an unlimited turn book was something I thought was in there, but I was careless not to doublecheck that it was in the release. (Why would we have unlimited without that???) I'll get that put up soon for you.

If you want to write something alone, why not notepad, or google docs, or microsoft word? The idea is that it wouldn't be a level playing field if you could compete on the rankings page with something you had more direct control over.

As for duration... I can't really see it being used over a long span of time. Even the 2 minute duration is too long if it's more than 2 or 3 authors in there. 1 minute really gets the creative juices flowing and instantly makes it immersive as you always can't wait for the next line--and you don't have to!

Legacy feature from the idea days. I'll remove that now. Thanks for the reminder!
