This is an idea I had all of a suddy when I was supposed to be thinking about several other things.

Sometimes when you find a branch you like, you want to read more from that author but are not sure where to start (particularly if they are one of our more prolific posters!).

How about, thought I, if there were a place where all Protag authors could post links to three of their branches or stories that they feel best reflect their writing style or preferences? Or, indeed, that they are proudest of?

That way we could all come here, see if the author we seek has posted, go to their branch and follow their links!

My hope is that this will become somewhere we can all come to get a better idea of who we all are as writers - and to find kindred spirits.

I will start by nominating three writers that I have either read little of so far or that have written so much it would take me weeks to give all of it the attention it deserves. Then I will message them to let them know, they can post their links and do the same!

(it occurs to me that leaving the occasional branch free for people to add unrequested would be no bad thing!)

With any luck, one day we will all have a branch on here.

I do hope this works...

Oh! And no ratings, please - no need.

Author guidance for This work

The idea is simple: If you are asked to add - or there is a free branch left open - you post links to the three Protagonize branches or stories by you that you feel reflect your writing style best or that you are proudest of. If you chose, you may also then add a fourth choice BY A DIFFERENT AUTHOR, as your 'Recommended Reading' pick, so you can tell us all about a hidden gem that you'd like us to notice. This choice should be added in bold type, to distinguish it from your first three. Then you nominate three other authors (a branch can be left open if you wish) that interest you, message them to let them know and the Shop Window gradually fills with handy short-cuts that help us get to know each other! *Ratings not necessary!* NB - As per Tip's first 'free to join' branch, any branches left open for anyone to add should be entitled: "Free-for-all" That way much uncertainty may be avoided! : ) The PROTAGONIZE SHOP Stock List Now In Stock: AnaCristina angryferret74 Archi_Teuthis arystOkrat Bill_Hartzia bluejay Cassandra cheshiregrin darkliquid Eloosive Ezzie Faltarego Fluffycrow FogCat g2lapianistairlandesa Ganga JackRubashevskiy Jait jdxx JinnDal JoyceFreedom Kari LaineGrey Lone_Writer moonwalker MsKitKat olius_brightwell Parkovic PensAndFeathers Poozzab RainDance Savetheunicorns Smac972 Tad_Winslow Tasha_Noble THX0477 Tip_A_Steinback Traxisk wickedmirror WyattAapr Delivery Requested: 6Rob ALRO613 BARomero Bolsheviki Brebelles brianw Bucknuck Coach CWithey DrPinch d.f.m.
