In response to my last newsletter "The Six "W" Questions" I got the following replies:
Silverwindrose Dragon Minstrel  wrote: I was caught up with what the "S" in "S.M.A.R.T." means there are so many times I have used this with out having a name for it thank you.
I have found that we always say welcome to the newest members of our great site. But, what about the members that have been here for some time that go out of their way to help us?
I made this In & Out as a way we can say thank you and share it with every one. "Invalid Item"
Hey, great idea! I've listed it above.

Thank you for reading and sending in this kind comment. It's nice to know the message is well received.

Um, BBW? Did you read the newsletter? Usually your comment has something to do with the context, this one not so much. 
A*Monaing*Faith  wrote: Thank you so much for the inclusion!  So far raffle's a major success

Ideally, the ability to host a message forum item in your portfolio, which requires a basic membership at least. 
A good idea for a genre and theme that you want to see reflected in the contest entries. 
You have to decide on a set of rules. Those should include: 
Beginning and ending time.
Word count for stories or line count for poems.
The allowed rating (E through XGC).
How to submit. The most common form is to ask for b-item links in the message, but some contests allow the whole submission text to be entered in a message. 
Prizes. If you are low on gift points and can't offer lavish prizes, don't be shy to ask for donations to the contest bank. Many Writing.Com members are more than happy to help a new contest to get off the ground. 
After the contest is over, send out reviews as soon as you can. The writers are eager to find out how you liked their writing and if they placed.
