To pick one of your choices, I think I'd go with option A.
Now for the truth of it. I like what I do for a living and I think I wouldn't like to write as much if I had to do it to get paid.
Thank You IMPÜRETHOUGHTS for your help and the links. I guess I just didn't follow the process far enough. I stopped when I didn't see an option for the Platinum Membership .
Thanks again,
Your humble scribe,

Hi,
I looked through the forum but didn't see any direct answer to my question.
I was wondering how to upgrade to a Platinum Membership. I clicked on the upgrade button and it doesn't list a Platinum Membership as an option. I'm already a Gold Member that was grandfathered in when the site changed it's membership subscription policies. I was wanting to see the cost of going to a Platinum Membership as a way to support the site.
Thanks for the help in advance
The damn kitty jumped on the counter and knocked the banana hammock flying off the counter. Damn bananas went everywhere. By the time I chased her down to spank that ass, my damn fruit loops were soggy as hell. So here I sit, pissed off, and eating soggy fruit loops!
This was a very interesting thread to read. I personally review every story that is published to see what the moderator changed. I'm not a professional writer and continue learning from those on this site that have far superior skills than I do.
I'd like to publicly tip my hat to all moderators for their time and effort of verifying so many stories each week. I thank the moderator on every story I submit for their time.
Congrats to everybody on an awesome competition!
A round of applause to you all and all the other entrants.
Interesting addition. I actually have a story I published I could move over to fill the checkmark for the category but that's not my way.
As for the badge discussion that has developed in the thread. I'm a blue-collar writer so I don't get the fame others get but I've always had it in the back of mind to get Omnium Badge one day. Rest assured I will keep working towards that goal. As for losing the badge, I agree with those that say it shouldn't be taken away just because new categories are added. They earned it and it should remain.
As for the prolific writer badge, it should disappear and be re-earned each and every time a new category is added.
So, that is the thoughts of a humble lowly scribe.
No, because that would make me a year older!
Would you block all news programming that was nothing but depressing if you could?
Surprisingly yes!
Have you ever snuck away from a party to have sex with a fellow partier?
I think readers who comment like a comment back too and not just a "Thanks." I have seen more male authors not respond to comments than women from the stories I have read. I don't think a female author has ever NOT responded to one of my comments. I wonder if that contributes. There is a thread somewhere about it.
