How to Post in TOP Ver. 2013 

Ask yourself if you are a plagiarist. Nangongopya ka ba ng idea o akda ng iba? If you are. Wag ka nang sumali at baka kung mapano ka pa dito.

Ang taong nangongopya ng akda ng iba for personal reading or reposting it sa ibang lugar for other people to read kahit na ba me name ng writer ay hindi allowed sa TOP. Ang author lang at TOP ang pwedeng magpalaganap ng kanilang sinulat.

Confraternity ito ng mga taong galit sa plagiarists. At mga mahihilig sa pocketbook of the Tagalog Romance genre.

Sabihin na nating ok na, nakapagpost ka na. User ka na.

There are things to remember :

1. ALWAYS HAVE A BACK UP COPY OF YOUR STORY. 

Hindi natin controlled ang technology. So always save a copy of your story in your email. Make this the email you use for TOP para naman match. Or if OC ka then make an email just for saving your stories. JUST DON'T FORGET THE PASSWORD and visit it once in a while.

Why do you need this?

Para kung magkasystem issues tayo or what not hindi lost forever and stories mo. Sh*t happens. Remember that.

2. PROOFREADING is not the EDITORS job. It's your job. 

Ikaw na may-akda ang me trabaho niyan. Read, check for typos and grammar mistakes before posting your teaser, chapter and what not.

HOW TO WRITE A TEASER

REMEMBER: DO NOT SEND A FIRST DRAFT or post it. Do not PM the EIC and the Editors your chapters without their consent. It is your JOB as the writer to have already checked your work before you send it. We are doing this for love and not money. Hindi pa ako nananalo sa lotto. If that ever happens magfufulltime EIC ako. Pero sa ngayon na I have a day job and we have editors who do not do this for a living, please do understand that it may take time for us to read your work.

3. MAJOR OVERHAUL can happen for PREMIUM EBOOKS

Ebooks for TOP found here

KAPAG ang work mo ay gagawin nang EBOOK ito ay sasalain ng editors, ni support at ng EIC. Maaaring makatanggap ka ng isang mahabang pdf kasama ng pdf na me corrections at pdf ng final version ng novel mo.

Kung hindi ka marunong tumanggap ng edits at corrections, you are in the wrong writing group. Magtayo ka ng sarili mo. Thanks and have a nice life. Or be a blogger. Or post it on Wattpad.

4. There are rules to follow on how to post 

See this rule that must not be forgotten:


This is a moderated forum.

All new threads are being reviewed first by our editors before you can see them. Use the proper prefix for your submission for faster approval process.

- Whole Novel > Post your whole novel in one thread (including cover photo, if available, and/or teaser)
- Teaser > Post your teaser only, does not matter if it's finished or unfinished.
- Per Chapter > If you want to get more feedbacks, follow this option. (i.e. Ikaw Lamang - Chapter 1)
- Unfinished > Share your incomplete story as well for feedbacks and future reference.

Nasa taas yan ng lahat ng genre.

Minsan ang mga teaser ay nagiging for approval. Pero once na mabasa at ma-edit na ito ng EIC then it would be ok'd

BTW, limited time na online and EIC so minsan at mods/editor ang makakaharap ninyo.

If gusto ninyo you can sent a PM to Pinaywriter
http://tagalogonlinepocketbook.com/talk/user-6.html

What can be sent?

a) Initial Draft of your Teaser with Title of the story.
b) personal PMs
c) Thanks you PMs
d) Report of bullying PMs

Tandaan for all other concerns deal with Foo and the Mods. Screenshot always para walang lusot kung me irereklamo kayo.

HOW TO WRITE A CHAPTER

Tandaan na other writers and readers can read it when you post it for in TOP talk. They are your beta readers. When your work is popular and you finish it, then you can submit it in TOP read as an actual novel. Pero dapat nabasa at nacommentan na ito ng isang editor at ng EIC. ^.^

This may take some time but it will help you get feedback on your work before it becomes an Ebook or a TOP novel officially.

All EIC edits are mandatory to listen to. And changes must be made on the novel.

Sa mga lumang writers baka magulat sila na they will get this on their novel.

*+* This chapter has officially been read by the EIC of TOP*=*

That means na naoverhaul or na-edit ko na ang work nila.

HOW TO POST A CHAPTER in TOP TALK 

1. Choose the right Genre 

Right now we have Short Stories, Romance (duh), Action, Scifi, Horror, Drama and Others for not included genres. I write Fanfic but it's Romance so I put it under the Romance category.
2. Similar to posting a teaser only you choose PER CHAPTER if you are posting one chapter at a time or WHOLE NOVEL if you finished it then want to post everything in one go.

3. Paste the URL of your Chapters on the TEASER Thread like so.
