I am shamelessly going to post this, so I then shamelessly can link to it from the moderators picks.

Hoping that we get more people subbing. For the simple reason, this game exists because people subscribe.

(Disclaimer: Mods, or even anyone else...make money of this game. It is volunteer run. Subscription money is used to pay for hardware and software to run this game.)

Why am I not subscribed? I'm thinking about it . . . for one month for starters. First I have to get Unlimited Dial-Up so that I don't have to worry about paying for extra time. So, I guess I'll do it sooner or later. I just need to get my U.S. bills out of the bank, then I'll be chipper. I'm sending it . . . I have no idea how to use PayPal.

i want to subscribe but then im dont know how to use paypal and well, im outside the US..and also..if you write a featured mystery would you get subscribed already? how long will the subscription be in case your mystery gets approved??

Dont know about the FM subscription, but I know its pretty easy to sub even if you are outside the US.
Just click on the link of paypal and it will explain itself. You can also pay by credit card or send money to Ben (sleuth admin).

I haven't ever written an FM, but I think the subscription time varies, depending on Ben's opinion of the mystery. Jojo?

If you send in a check or money order do u also include a slip of paper with your name on it so Ben knows who the subscription belongs to?

Yep, this thread convinced me to join for 3 months but I'll probably end up playing it for the next 20 years.

I sincerely apologize for this thread then Chelsea. I may have been the cause of you slacking on your schooling/job, abandon your children and caused your divorce. :)

heheheheh.

If I am honest. Considering that writing an FM is so much work. It's something you also want to do because you like to contribute to the community. Or if you absolutely can not afford it, but you do have time on your hands.

For paypal you need a credit card. Go to www.paypal.com to check out how it works.

Folks keep in mind, it is not possible to get a free subscription by writing a featured mystery (FM.) As there is a back log in approving an bringing live previously submitted ones.
