In response to previous complaints that stories are moving too fast through the system, I'd like to suggest that posting your story on successive relevant groups can keep it visible for a much longer time. I love the idea of theme groups and have proposed many. I hope they help people feel like their stories get a fair share of exposure. Comparing approaches to similar themes intrigues me. I haven't published much and so the journal groups are for the most part not relevant to my needs at all. I don't get the point of posting on them if you haven't published in them and they aren't accepting your work.
Thank you for suggesting this, Gloria. I hadn't even looked at the groups. To be honest, the title made me think of cliques, so I just passed over that button, but I am glad you pointed me in that direction.
The newer groups are whatever we make them.
