christymahon,

Whenever I reply to a post of someone who is a bit new to WDC, I use WritingML for their name. For you, I typed {huser:christymahon}. If you have clicked the box to be notified of a reply to a post, it isn't necessary to tag you but, just in case, I do.

Whenever you use the WritingML version of a person's name, it will notify the person that they have been tagged.

See this entry for more information: "Notifications" 

There are a few different ways to link a member here:

{user:ruwth} displays: ruwth
{suser:ruwth} displays: ruwth
{ruser:ruwth} displays: ruwth

You will find these three forms shown on this page:



There are instructions there for all the various things we do here with WritingML.

By the way, I did understand what you wrote about having a separate section to add an author's note. I don't think there is that much of a demand for that feature here. Hence my suggestion of how you can meet that need for you personally.

You might preface it with "Note from the author:. I have seen others do something like that.

I put a note at the end of a couple items in my own port. Here is one of them:

It's Over!  [ASR]
A 55-Word Story about domestic violence from one familiar with that dance.

I didn't label it as a note from the author but the change in color and font size pretty much let's folks know it is something separate from my story.

         Just an idea...
