I have a few suggestions that you might be interested in-I know what you’re thinking, new guy wants changes. That’s not it at all. These are just a few things I think would be interesting.
Sub-categories on the submission page. I enjoy Flash Fiction, but don’t like Romance (please don’t anyone be offended, it just a personal choice) I know you can use tags but sub-categories might make it easier.
Authors note. Completely optional of course. I personally enjoy finding out how a person got their idea or inspiration for a story.
Weekly writing prompts. Maybe make it a category, or a contest. I would love to see how different writers make use of the same prompt, horror ,romance humor, ect. It would be really interesting.
There's another site I check out once a week just for the interesting prompts, it might be a way to get new members.
These are just some thing I'd enjoy seeing
Sorry, Don, I missed this post. Thank you for the suggestions. The sub-categories one would be difficult to organise with the way our home page is currently set out, but I like the writing prompts idea. That's definitely worth looking into.

Hey everyone. I’m new to this site. I joined a few weeks ago and have 2 stories posted. Writing is really hard for me. I have a lot of ideas but "grammar “kills me. I'll fret over a sentence or two, just to make sure it sounds right, then I'll lose the idea I was working on. I'm not trying to get rich doing this. I just love doing it. This seemed like the place where people could give me their opinion, positive or negative. I've never shown my work to anyone I know, they don’t even know I write...Don
Welcome to SS, Don!
I've experienced the same problem as you in the past with regards to spending too much time on getting sentences just right before I move on. It's only recently that I've finally managed to make myself keep typing rather than checking back on what I've just written. It can really hold you back!
I hope you get a lot out of sharing your work here.

So sorry about that, Lisa. Would it be possible for Gav to program it so that instead of reporting the comment right away, a confirmation notice pops up, allowing to cancel or continue?
Or maybe this isn't something that happens often except to me?
I don't get many of those messages, but when I do it's no problem from my end, so no need to apologise!
I'll send Gav the link to this thread to see if there's something that can done.
