I think the Co-Author Badge idea is well worth consideration.

As far as the duplication of EP or RR, I don't see that as a doable option. The co-author's name is credited on the story that has the award. Right now, there is no way to duplicate the story and views onto the co-author's page. To me, it doesn't seem necessary. I have co-authored stories, but none of those appear on my page. I am fine with that. If you'll check out the fabulous DanielleX's page, you can find two stories I co-wrote with her.

The fact that the RR for the co-authored story is on her page does not make me feel left out at all.

Now if at some time Gav could create a Co-Authored Stories link that appears at the bottom of your story list that would take the viewer to that story on the other writer's page, that would be nice.

I have been the writer who posted the stories that I have written with collaborators. I have always felt a little guilty about getting the recognition attached to those stories but for the mention of the co-writer's name at the beginning of each story and the acknowledgement note that most writers (including me) add to the stories. Anyone who reads the stories knows who the other writer is so the praise in comments is shared. I realize that there is some inequity in the poster of the story getting the views, badges, and possible awards.

However, the suggestions that have been made so far to remedy this would put those who collaborate on stories in a better position than those who write alone in that each story would be doubly posted, doubly awarded and double rated and ranked. For those who count views towards hundreds of thousands and millions, it would be a sort of double dipping to allow the story to be viewed and have those views counted on two members' pages. Dividing the views between the two writers does not make sense either.

I understand that it rankles to see a story you have worked on garner views and awards for your co-writer that cannot be shared, but I can think of no equitable way to fix this to make it fair between collaborators and at the same time remain fair to the other writers on the site. I would be open to any suggestions that could do that.

When *someone* carelessly awakens an ancient, malevolent spirit that has been slumbering underground for centuries. It's just so annoying.

I think I've suggested this before, but I'd love to be able to preview my forum signature like I can with forum posts.

Very Glad No one has put me on anyone's list and hope it stays that way and mine are Three:

Buz = Whom I met and have been friends with and I have been reading since I arrived back in either 08 or 09. And seen his stuff go from his college days to what he's working on presently.

Poppet = Whom I met when joined the first time was here again in 08 or 09. And always liked her stuff.

Nymphwriter = Whom I met when joined the first time was here again in 08 or 09. And her plethora of work is like Buz, and Poppet's being like evolution in action.

I have an idea, and honestly I think its a pretty valid and good idea. I know that some of us have made our forum signatures too big. Isn't there a way to alter the size to automatically fit the signature area? I know how to check my pixels and kb's but not everyone does, and not everyone complies. I've been guilty of it myself.
