NEWS!
I have now added a forum to the site! Go to the website to check it out!
Welcome to Room of Books, when the life you live is full of books.
Room of Books, or RoB, was created on the 30 March 2013 to accomodate scratch's love for books and writing. Here we review and read books, plus write our own
Here at RoB, we have a ladder that we want most, if not all, of our members to follow UP. The levels are as follows:
When you first start, this is what you will be. Once you have brought us 2 new members or 5 chapters/book reviews (at least 1 member), you will become a...
As a RoB member, you have 2 main responsibilities:
1) Bringing us new members
2) Advertising us
If the RoB organizer finds a keen RoB member (i.e. has brought us many new rookies and has done a lot of advertising) he can make the member a...
As said in the name, this stage in the ladder requires you to post at least once a week and bring in as many new rookies as possible.
As a recruiter, you have the opportunity of taking on major role, as well as still recruiting
If a RoB recruiter wants a major role, all he or she has to do is post something like "I would like to take on the role of..." The roles you can take on are:
RoB Admin:These people help other people within the RoB community with any problems they are having. They also have to write write stories and reviews. Admins help the RoB organizer with the book of the month, competitions and other RoB community events
RoB Reviewer:These people help others in the RoB community with their book reviews. They are also expected to write their own reviews
RoB Writer:These people help others in the RoB community with their stories/novels. They are also expected to write their own stories/novels
Our website is called roomofbooks.weebly.com and was created by the RoB organizer. We hope you enjoy it!

Hi! This sounds cool, and I looked at the website: Its awesome! Good name, too. Anyways, my username is Waffle27.
I want to join as a person who submits chapters, etc.
Maybe the occasional review.
I don't like giving out personal info, so you can just contact me here, or on one of my projects, because then I'll get an automatic notice.
I will be active as long as this place is active, otherwise I'm pretty busy with other collabs. Hope you understand and I hope to be accepted!

For the page that you'll be having all of your stories on, i was hoping to have a pic and a little bit about you. So, for the pic, can I use your profile pic on here?
Can you please say a little bit about yourself for me to put on your page? it dosen't have to be loads, just like an overview of you.
Also, I understand that you are the creator of the arabian nights writing collab. Our two collabs coud team up to try and get more people into each collab? I'll advertise yours if you'll advertise mine. I'll advertise yours on the site too.
Many thanks

For your question, yes you have full rights over the books and you have to give me the whole chapter. If you only give me some of the chapter, I may not put it on as the readers do not want half a piece of writing. I will take the story off if you contact me through here or on the form on the website.
Secondly, you can join, so long as you fill out the sign up form given to you on the first post

Bumping this. I'm the only one with a story on the site, whoo! Sort of. Its all block-ie though with no paragraph spaces...

The new look is good! Now you have more of a goal in it (reaching higher positions) then before, when you just posted stories and stuff.
Offline
Yeah. But since it can be hard to recruit members, even two, maybe you could have 2 members or...5 chapters (or 5 reviews)
Maybe a Featured Book Review/Story could be given each month? Like, Book of the Month created by a member/rookie, etc. could be added?
You dont have to use any of these ideas. It is your collab, after all. I'm just thinking up ideas.
