I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

I was with EP since 2009, ..

I would like to own my own group that is create the subject, and then be able to write my own stories while exluding others from adding their stories, yet still accept responses, comments, hearts, stars etc... and of course be able to delete any comments I deem inapropriate .. and I would add I was very tolerant of people who disagreed, misunderstood, or just felt like attacking me for some reason ..

Now, I don't want to seem like a snob, and I don't want to treat it like myspace or facebook or google where you set up your own environment ..

But to the point, I want people to know me, and I feel I need to maintain my own group, and corral all my stories in one place, rather than scattered around in various groups, in order to express coherence within my various stories. I think this could be added as an option, especially to give new users who come from other social networking sites to "Similar Worlds" a chance to establish their own home base, and then venture out from there ..

I liked EP, because it was much more simple, and so far the new interface looks very clean .. let's hope we keep it tidy ..

Please consider my suggestion and give it some thought, and I will be happy answer any questions ...

A while ago, I suggested to the EP team we have the ability to enter keywords before publishing our story .. for example, i wrote a story a while ago, called "I never went to a Prom," .. keywords I might use would be: Prom, dating, teenager, puberty, high school, disapointment, . . . and so on.

Viewers can then search for stories by keyword.

It would prudent to be able to edit edit your keyword list as well as your story, as I often find spelling and grammar errors that I notice after the fact.

This leads me to the fact when you finish your story, it is often hard to find a group that is appropriate for your story to fit. And yes, it does seem like there are millions of groups, and sometimes they fit and sometimes they don't. Now, you, at this point, can create your own group, and hope that it is not an oddity, and what is my biggest fear is that it gets out of control where other stories are added that veer from the original thought and purpose of the group.

If a member chooses to own or manage his own group, he or she might be tagged as the "group leader" or "mini moderator" .. and after naming the group write a short introduction on why you created it, such as "this group is for those poor unfortunate individuals who never attended a prom, due to one reason or another .. "

Owning your own group does not exclude you from joining other groups, and writing stories and offering comments ..

Plus, can we drop "I hate to eat Broccoli" a group name .. where "Brocolli Haters of the World Unite" You can add the "I" yourself.

(I actually like Brocolli)
