Charge a dollar for every story.
It would encourage the talented writers to write more and an better stories.
Split each dollar. Half goes for the site, half for the author. If people learned that if they are talented enough they can make some cash they might come back as well!
Sure the site is great, but people do put a lot of effort into it with writing, stories, videos and pictures and they too never ask for anything in return.
The site expects everyone to pay for stuff and it generally treats people as the product. You want to talk to more people, pay more, you want to do this and that with more people, pay more.
It's not a lot of money, sure, but it's like paying for a lottery ticket. You might get lucky but more often than not its a bust.
I would think that if you had a chance to make some money for the stuff you put into the site, you'd really want a chance to try it and I imagine lots of people would come here.
Of course there would have to be a standard of quality for the stories you paid for vs the ones that would remain free.
This could be a great help to the site and the community both.
People aren't willing to pay for the big upgrades. Maybe they'll be willing to support their favorite authors instead.
Payments could be made once a month or something like that.
But quality would be extremely important. Who ever controls that would have a heck of a lot of work to do
FF needs some kind of an edge if it is to keep on living.
This could help out.
Providing we could get people to part with their dollars.
:-D
Also, Video Chat. I've never been to a website that made you pay to view other people's cams in a chat room besides this one.
I think bringing that back would make people happy.
Also, games. We literally need something to do a reason to come back so maybe we can look into making a casual E-sport FF team for Mobas and what not across all the platforms to meet once or twice a week, that could be fun to organize.
Or make our own RPG system. I used to RP in a place called Dragonsmark. I know Role playing is popular here. Maybe some organization on that front. People would show up more if they had a character to maintain.
Community projects. Not sure for ideas on this yet but I think we need to try to include as many as we can on community wide projects..maybe a movie, or releasing another book. I know we did something like that but I don't know how it went.
Maybe themed events. Different months, different things to do.
Participation is the heart of any community and if we only come on here to go into the chat room and act like robots, it's all pretty pointless.
Also, put the shouts back on the main page like it used to be.
I don't know why they were ever hidden to their own separate page but I think that was a bad idea.
