Hi Everyone!  I'm so excited to be helping out with the site.  Of course, all of your feedback is more than welcome!

Best! 

So as you are well aware I haven't been around much...er...at all really for the past...well...long time haha. We need someone who has a little more time to run this place.

Our ideal person would have a working knowledge of php and html, preferably with database experience. Or someone who is willing to learn these things on the fly. We would also like someone with ideas to breathe some life into this place again with some challenges and contests of some kind plus updating the featured stories.

If you're interested please contact us at archive@nsync-fiction.com or @nsyncfiction on twitter. 

Just a little heads up that we will be doing a little site maintenance next weekend so there may be some downtime. 

I will be backing up the archive on Friday night around 9 pm EST. Anything posted between then and the announcement that maintenance is finished is at risk of being lost so please back up your work! 

Hopefully there will be no downtime at all and it will be smooth sailing but better safe than sorry. 

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

Everyone get reading!

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!

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.

It seems the months have gotten away from me and 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 August 8th. The top three suggested stories will be Featured for April, the fourth being mods' choice.
