Hello,

It was quite some time ago that I logged in to CC, as I decided to sharpen me skills - thank you, keep it up, please come again - before attempting another article. With 78 KGs of delightful bewilderment I witnessed how some of my earlier contributions produced luscious license sales while I was away, yet there are a couple of related issue-promises I'd like to hear your sober input on.

Here they are :

So far, CC always sent me an email notification if an article produced a sale - today I got such a mail, logged in to the site - more on that in a minute - and I saw that there was three sales, but only one notification. Is this a server-related issue, or, if not, what is the intricate logic behind this new protocol, if that what it is, at all. (Protocol, not logic.)

The other thing is, that I had difficulties with, is that I had difficulties logging in. I had to insist to the server that it knows me, I'm this and that with this and that PW, and finally it showed sympathy and let me in.

The - logically enough - subsequent question is minimum payment related, as I think CC may have introduced such a thing, as the company always payed me without any delay whatsoever. Am I correct to assume that there is a payment threshold now? If there is, please tell me how much it is, and forgive me for not relying on the FAQ this time.

My last question is more grammar-related, and I figure CC is a pretty good place to ask this: where would you go / where would you turn to if you would like your stuff proofread for the mistakes you do not want to incorporate? I suppose this is something you have to pay for in a sober reality, and, as such, I'm willing to do that and THEN submit stuff to CC. Now please give me a site with an army of elite proofreader Ents on it or something, please?

The minimum payout thresh hold is now $5. If you don't get the minimum it rolls over.

Jadedragon,

thank you for the info.

Sometimes when CC sends me numerous emails at once (for successive sales or acceptances) it appears that I receive only one email. On closer inspection it is actually a few emails contained within one - I usually have to scroll down and then see the other emails. Not sure which email client you use - I have a googlemail email registered for CC and it seems to be a googlemail trait for me.

dmgray,

you make an excellent point. Turns out this is exactly what happened in my case, as well. Thank you for drawing my attention to my anti-attentiveness.

A CC user was kind enough to contact me about proofreading and I'm looking forward to making a deal with her, yet I still remain curious about how different authors go about proofreading their stuff. If there is a different section somewhere on these forums addressed to ponder these sentiments, then please point me there if you like and dismiss this query with ruthless efficiency.

Hi GyZ,

I recently stumbled on a site that has built-in proofreader. I've used it to catch those hard-to-catch-myself errors I tend to make. You do have to pay for it, but I've been using the 7-day free trial and am pretty satisfied.

www.grammarly.com is the site.

Sorry if posting this response is a no-no!

Hi BerryMac,

I'll pretend that I did not see it, thank you for the tip. Anyone had experience with grammar softwares? I had, but the one I tried gave me nothing but a nervous breakdown, and a shallow of it - too EZ to fool. Without naming the actual soft, anyone experienced fruity success with them? In my opinion, those applications probably have a long way to go, though they fare extraordinarily when unleashed to produce rampant results: turns out "Mother In Law" is an anagram of "Woman Hitler."

Hey, that was a low blow! I'll have to thumb wrestle you over that one.

Melinda.
