Though I've known about this site and visited it for a long time, it is only recently that I got an account on it. And my first few friends turned out to be writers of great skill and talent. Upon giving the site a view over, I noticed that they give animators, musicians and artists the opportunity to express themselves on this site but authors have yet to be given this freedom. And the authors have been too quiet on this subject. Newgrounds is the number 1 site for art,games and flash movies. To keep this site head and shoulders above it's competition, I believe that we should constantly move forward and give people reason to come to the site more often. So, for all the authors in NG and for the sake of it's benefit, I propose a new portal be added to the newgrounds roster: the Author Portal! And yes, this wasn't ENTIRELY my idea :P. Skilled author Sinfulwolf has already contacted Tom Fulp himself and he responds that it's in the works. But that's one person. If we all speak up and let him know about our interest and desire for an Author Portal, it will become a priority and a feature heavy part of Newgrounds. So if you want to contribute ideas for Author Portal features, promote your own story or anything at all, leave a comment. And the best part of adding such a feature is that it will be imaginative fuel for all the other portals. Read on, write on! POWER TO THE PAGE!!!

Rally the troops grab your pens! today we march upon the Ng office!!!
What do we want "A WRITER'S PORTAL!" When do we want it? "BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!" You know it was my hope that I'd get a bunch of different ideas in regards to it's features but only sinfulwolf has done that. I was sorta let down. But at least people said something. Better than nothing. Alas
edit: Grammar - good. Spelling - bad.
Writing - good. Writing while drunk - bad.
(I think I got all the spelling right here)

in other news, i put up an old song of mine on my page, take a listen
Left my response. Yuzo Koshiro > Greenday anyday :P
Really interesting. I hope the idea of an Author Portal carries through.
You and me both, friend.
Thank you much for the mention and kind words. The following is exactly what Tom Fulp responded to me with.
"We have planned for a long time now to have a Writers Portal and it's next on the list... So hopefully not much longer. :)"
This of course depends on money, time, and a few other variables that myself would not know... not being an internet programmer or anything.
What I would like to see is something similar to what they have for fictionpress.com : A system where a story can be posted, and then chapters added on to the story later on. Also, PMing anyone who favorites the story or author or some such. I have no worries about the review/ rating system, as that's included in the other portals. The only thing is, who would be on the rating bar, as the three main Pico characters have been used, and Tankman is already at the top of the page.
You're right. I haven't a clue as to who they will use. Hopefully, not a villain like Convict! Ha ha! And they wouldn't pull a fourth character out of nowhere. On top of that, who really emulates reading? Nene was the best I could think of but she's already been used, abused, twisted and misused, ridiculed, belittled and ra-
Alright, THAT'S ENOUGH! *ahem* Exscuse me. My point is that it's the one noticeable hiccup in the entire operation that needs to be gotten rid of. Btw s.wolf, your welcome for the mention. So where's my kudos!?!?
IDEA FOR THE VOTING CHARACTOR
Hank
Pfffft! That's damn funny! A zero would be like "This would make good target practice.."
i just saw that flash "The Angel and the Fox"
that was epic
Wasn't it though? I favorited it.
You'll get Kudos in the next chapter.

MUST OBTAIN KUDOS...
and rescus john connor. ;-)
Hell yes!
Deviantart is one thing, but to share my all my works on another type of site is something!
So i full support the idea and hopefullness for an author portal! :D
Hell yes indeed. Keep your fingers crossed. Mine are. :)
i'm bored
and thoguhts are in my head about chapter 9, i kinda work slow might be a week or two
i know it will be what happened to Natasha, but i'm wondering wether to let Him live or die,
Huh? What? You also wrote this when you were tired. If you're confused or need help, all I can say is watch movies, read books or just get yourself around inspiring material. I wish you luck and I look forward to number 9!
no i'm not confused, i'm going to tell what happend to Natasha before Nikolav disapeared and Alexis got her ass kicked.
and i am mentaly debating whether to let this one guy i'm gonna add die or live.
GOOD NEWS!!!
i have Chapter 9 all planned out, now i just need to write i t down.
and stop being a lazy ass
What does that mean?
that means i need to actually be motavated to work.....which i'm not.
but i must!
gahh, fuck, i forgots to save and i was halfway though writing it, now i have to start over.
screw it, i'll do it tommorow
To Jamien, if you really want to share stories, try fictionpress.com (original stories) or fanfiction.com (fanfiction stories). It's actually quite good, and if Newgrounds does form an art portal I hope it is similar to how those two sites work, but with a Newgroundian twist.
good news!
i'm going to attempt to finish chaper 9 tonight!
but it's going to be the longest one yet, but it's tons of action!
Let's hope the grammar in it is better than in this commment. :P Looking forward to it! If you tell me when it's out, I'll try to spread the word.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D1cap6yETA&feature=player_embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D1cap 6yETA&feature=player_embedded</a>
