a) La Gr@not@ has launched a facebook page and you're all invited to join. To spare the 3 monitors a load of fiddly work, please don't tell friends and relations about it UNTIL your request for membership has been approved. Once you're in, you just add your friends yourself, without needing to take up the monitors' time. We already have 79 members and hope to grow and grow. Anybody interested in children's books is welcome, either as creator or as student/consumer/parent/curious. The URL is https://facebook.com/groups/962409033904304/
b) We have already received submissions from 3 users of THIS (W&As) site and are trying to persuade another to submit something.
c) Read our guidelines at http://la-granota.com/crazy.htm and - if you feel that your work fits the bill, send it off to us. We need experience in writing rejection e-mails. ;p :D
d) For the nth time, I remind people to please take part in 2 writing projects aimed at an adult readership, but that will benefit children. I find it difficult to understand why writers wouldn't want to expand their CVs, as these two books will almost certainly be published.

Now that you're (I hope) over the hangovers resulting from summer hols, perhaps these 2 projects will really take off.

Hi Jimmy,
Congratulations on the new Facebook page! I've sent my request :)
I'll try to be part of the baby shoes project but just couldn't get my head around the other project.
@ Emilie: The same thing happens to me!
(But that might be because we use the same clapped-out computer.)
A very curious phenomenon is phenomening here:
a) I create Pt. II of "my" shared work. I obtain for it the URL https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/emilie-van-damm/work/57d68f67387140d54e8b4569
b) I "copy" that URL and paste it into the end of "my" shared work Pt. I, so that readers can follow the path from (You guessed it!) Pt. I to Pt. II. In Pt. I, the URL of Pt. II is https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/emilie-van-damm/work/57d68f67387140d54e8b4569
c) Do you see a difference? I don't. I have just checked and double-checked each digit and letter. They are EXACTLY the same.
d) In "shared works", (unlike here on Q&As) URLs are active. You can click on them and they'll take you to the linked page. IN GENERAL.
e) However, when I click on that URL in "my" shared work, I am transported to a W&As page that says: "invalid profile". Have they given me the wrong URL?
f) The URL sitting in my URL bar (right at the top of the window) is as printed above. When I go to the URL bar and press the "Enter" key, I'm STILL given that "invalid profile" page.
g) HOWEVER!!! If I "copy" the URL from the end of Pt. I, then "paste" it into the URL bar, THEN press "Enter"... I am redirected to Pt.II. NO PROBLEM.
h) Why is it that the EXACT SAME URL, sitting in my URL bar, gives 2 completely different results???
i) Is it just my computer, or does this happen to everyone?
