Group News
Here is a more in depth look at what all is happening in our featured group, Quill and Parchment:
IClaudius Antoninus was promoted to the new position of graphics editor and completely re did the group page and logo. The group page is all original and shows what can be done to individualize your group pages. He was voted an award plaque by the group for his extraordinary contribution.
For the first time voting for The Post Of The Month Award was opened to all members of AW sitewide and participation was great. There were 437 votes. The winner, Ursus Longinus, was awarded Post Of The Month plaque for his story, ‘Bobby.’ The latest nominations for the new Post Of The Month are coming in and the nominations will close on May 21. The voting will again be sitewide.
An off AW web site is in the planning stages and will give greater exposure to our talented writers. They hope to have it up and operating by June.
A special award plaque was voted to leader, Kallistos Alexandros, for excellence in group management, and we can certainly see why with such an active group!
