Interesting idea. Were you going to do it individually, and send out a private side story, or en masse and post a short bonus story every time someone gets to 50?

I figured.

Maybe you want to set a word limit; that way, if more than one person makes it to fifty at once, you just write a longer story. Like 300-500 words, or something?

All right, I found one for you that isn't disappearing. When I click to view "users by points," there's a hyperlink for "Details" next to my name. If I click on that, it gives me a blank white screen--not a 404 or anything, more like the code isn't loading properly.

Update: the "My Points" link does the same.

Hrmm. You don't happen to have two files listed for that link, in your website's directory, do you? I once had something like that happen when I had a default "home" file in my main directory and then set a page in Wordpress' software with the name "home." Since Wordpress handles everything internally, there can't be anything to interfere with the address, as it were, manually. The "home" file preempted the fake file Wordpress was trying to create, and it defaulted to a white screen like that since the "home" file was blank.

I can see the point by users page but I can't seem to find the My Points link or page. Is it hidden somewhere, or am I just that blind?

And to make this post worth it, I think the points idea is a good idea, lets people like me (read: poor) help contribute to getting a bonus story and possibly having a say in what it might be.

I think that it's a nifty plan for now. I imagine, however, that there will be trouble with the plan (unless point-scoring gets harder, or rewards more expensive) as your popularity (and commenting) increases. You might create a backlog (much like with the possibility of repeated ransoms).

Took a while to figure out that I should probably click that unassuming line of differently coloured text...

Anyway. A valid link to your story. It should be the first one in the left links. Looks a bit out of place. Email me if it's not there.

I don't get many readers to my blog, which so far has been fine by me... (You can probably tell there's no substance on that blog. I am slightly paranoid.)
I'm in the process of getting connected up to the rest of the university choral societies in the country over LJ, if I don't forget about it, I'll post a link up there too.
