Newbie getting lost in comments

[clay-marble.livejournal.com]

Hi.

This is my first time really following a group like this. Is there a way to know if a particular thread has been updated in order to follow a fill? It doesn't seem like you can check that just be looking at the last post on the WIP page and I was wondering.

Thank you for your wonderful group, by the way. =)

If you have a paid account, you can track comment threads and get an email every time an author adds to their WIP or track a prompt and be notified when someone fills it.

Unfortunately, this option is not available for basic accounts. As an alternative, you can save up links to WIPs you want to keep track of in a google doc (or something similar) and check back on them when you want. As inconvenient as that can be, there really doesn't seem to be another option available at this point.

I hope this was helpful. Please comment again if you have further questions!

There's a twitter that tracks XMFC WIPs: firstclasswips (http://twitter.com/#!/firstclasswips).

Mods, maybe a link on the profile page could be useful?

Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't aware this exised!

We asked for volunteers to start a WIP-tracking twitter a while back and no one offered. We've also not been contacted by the people/person running the account and I personally haven't seen a comment about tracking on the meme. But know that we'll look into it!
