    Because its just that damned important :)

    And haven't you noticed the amount of good authors we have on this site?

    I am not claiming that my list produces them... But I see a direct correlation of the available data *snickers*

    Actually its only posted in 2 places.... Though it is referenced in several others.

    Also, make your chapters atleast 2000 words long, avoid having too much happen to soon. If you have seen something done a thousand times (i.e. a typical pairing, being a multi-animagus, or training with vampires were in under a week harry is god) don't do it. Description is important but don't overdue it, you will lose readers that way, same with holding out for reviews, nobody likes that. Finally, don't have things move along so slowly that no one cares anymore (that's the way i feel about wishweaver) but most of all have fun with it..
