Writer's Showcase Forum Rules (rough sketch)
 * [Explanation of what constitutes acceptable promotion of works and what constitutes spamming]
 * Story must be on the main site. [Insert brief instructions on how to create pages here]
 * Story must be linked at the top of the thread (in the body, not the title), like this: Story title Also, the text of the story must be copy/pasted into the OP.
 * It it highly recommended that you put it through the Writer's Workshop first, although it is not necessarily required.
 * If your story is deleted on the main site, your forum post will also be removed.
 * Unfinished stories will be removed.

Here's a thought. I know it is against policy for writer's to nominate their own work, which makes pefect sense. But could we perhaps have a "promotions" week or something that starts in the last 5 days or so of the month, before the new nominations are posted.

This would give writer's who may feel as though they always get overlooked on noms, a chance to promote and try and "sell" their work to the community. There are a lot of great, quality works out there that simply never get seen becase they haven't been bumped in so long, you'll only find them if you really know what you're looking for.

Obviously we would have to write in a rule that writers cannot spam their work to everyone that week, but if created a 'promotions' thread perhaps, similar to the other forums that we have, writers could be allowed to post a link to their story and give the most inticing description they can to try and get some exposure.

Thoughts?
