 '''Review Process''':  Members are expected to receive all necessary approvals for a story before it is submitted to the Story Approval Team for review; members are also expected to run a spell check on their submission, perform basic line editing for punctuation, grammar, and date the story for placement on the timeline.  Stories are submitted to stories@rivertwine.com.  Once submitted, stories are posted to the Story Review Team on the message boards, where members of the team review the story.  The team goal is to return reviews within a seven day turnaround, when possible.  Once the story reviews are made, then a single individual (called the "handler") compiles those comments into a single constructive review, which is returned to the member for revisions.  Some stories may take more than one revision before they are cleared to be posted on the website, and some stories are cleared to be posted without any revision requests at all.
-The Story Approval Team has a sometimes-tricky task of trying to balance the individual needs of the writer with overall club continuity.  They keep an eye on the use of NPCs and ensure that NPCs remain consistent to character, try to ensure that group continuity remains consistent with the world of River Twine Holt, etc.  The current Story Approval Team members are Megan McCarthy (Team Leader), Amy Chandler, Angie Cousins, Mareike Heilemann, Heidi Henderson, Holly Hutchison, and Sofia Lindstrom.  Interested volunteers for the team should contact Megan at kestrel@rivertwine.com.

 Some storylines will by necessity require approval of the Council:  any encounter with humans, any encounter with trolls, any encounter with wild magic.  Additionally, any storyline which has a wide impact on the tribe (for example: an elf child goes missing for several days) should be consulted with the Council, to help determine what the Chief's response will be.

 Members who own more than one character, and who fail to meet the requirements for the Secondary Character(s), will have the Secondary Character(s) become Adoptable Characters (at which point they may be adopted by others). The member has a waiting period of one month before they can reapply for any Secondary Characters, and they must have a discussion with the council about being able to meet the additional submission requirements again.

-A member who fails to participate during a quarter gets put on probationary status. Probationary members can return to non-probationary status simply by participating during the successive quarter (and of course, by completing any fic or art commitments they may be overdue on, particularly art trade or fic trade commitments).  Probationary members MUST meet the participation requirements for the second quarter; while it's appreciated if they can retroactively meet the missed participation requirements, this is not required (probation is not in a hole they must dig themselves out of).  However, if a probationary member fails to meet the participation requirements for the successive quarter, their membership is revoked and their character becomes an NPC.  (Rest assured -- this decision never takes place without ample communication from the Council first.)
+Members who fail to participate at all in a quarter are put on probation in the following quarter. Failure to participate for 2 quarters running will see the member lose their character(s) (who become Adoptable Characters, and may be adopted by others). The member is usually welcome to stay on as an Reader Member. They may be able to re-apply to adopt a character after a waiting period of one quarter.
