WISH LISTS
Want to send another member a gift this holiday season?
Check his or her Stories.Com Wish List!
Is there something you want?
Add it to your Stories.Com Wish List and be sure tell your family and
friends about your Wish List @ Stories.Com!

Wish Lists provide a convenient, organized way for each member to keep
track of products and services that he or she wants, such as mugs,
t-shirts, Upgraded and Premium Memberships.

The system is secure; it safely allows your on-line friends to send gifts
to your off-line residence without ever sharing your personal information
with them. You provide us with your confidential ship-to address and only
Stories.Com staff will see it. Your address is only used so we can ship a
product if a wish is filled.

Any registered Stories.Com member can fill your wishes using Gift
Points. Tell your friends and family to sign up for a free account,
purchase Gift Points and then fill your wish! It's just that easy!

Members can provide a direct link to their Wish List by adding /wish_list
to their public portfolio URL. For example, The StoryMistress
would give out the following URL:
         http://www.stories.com/authors/storymistress/wish_list

Wish Lists are also linked from within Members' public portfolios. You
can access your own Wish List to add, edit or delete wishes by selecting
"My Wish List" from the "Member Tools" pull down menu.

Please remember that the purchase of any Stories.Com product
helps to support the site! Please don't be shy... fill out that Wish List
and spread the word.


GIFT POINTS
Don't forget about giving good, old Gift Points to your online friends!
Gift Points are like a gift certificate to Stories.Com. Send members a
chunk of GPs and tell them to head to our store to purchase what they
want.

Or, if they're looking for exposure and a some extra feedback, they can
sponsor their own items throughout Stories.Com.

With Gift Points, the choice is theirs!
