Cast Pics
The Chamber is proud to offer a new way to present cast pics in your stories.
Examples can be seen here and here
If you would like this for your cast graphics as well here is what you need to do.
- Load your cast pics as normal into your chapter.
- Contact me on jacci@valentchamber.com and be sure to include a link to the page with the pictures on.
- Sit back and enjoy.
For the moment this is a request only feature (am working on fixing that) and it means that once the cast pics are done, if you go to edit the page, it will strip the cool effect. Chapters can be added as normal to the story.
I am usually very quick to reply to emails, so if you do not have a response from me within 24 hours, I am betting that my email got sent to the junk box (this seems to be happening to some people), so either email again or shout out or give me a poke on YIM (jaccione). I AM NOT ignoring you :)

Through His Eyes
Men. We love them. We hate them. And sometimes, we experience the fine line between love and hate when it comes to dealing with them. But have you ever wondered what is going on through a man’s mind? What the world is like behind his eyes? What makes his heart race? What makes his blood boil? What makes his eyes darken with desire? In this challenge, you must write an original fiction story entirely in a male POV to find out exactly that. Step into your lead male character’s head and explore the world inside of it. The rule is you can have as many female characters as you want, but no female POV allowed!
Respond to the challenge here
