BGR reached a milestone last week with our 100th Bad Girls fanfic posted on the board. We appreciate the writers who have generously chosen to share their stories with our members. Besides unrestricted access to the creative contributions of our writers, one of the things that most members appreciate about Bad Girls Riot is the ability for our members to choose their own level of participation and interaction on the board, including whether or not to leave feedback in our fanfiction threads.
As we have stated on the board, it has always been our contention that people come to fanfic message boards for a variety of reasons, and we should acknowledge as many of them as possible. Members who want to observe silently do so for their own reasons. Perhaps reading fiction is an opportunity for quiet introspection, a peek into a lifestyle that has seeped into a reader’s consciousness, but not to the extent that they wish to comment on it in an open forum. Some people are shy or reserved; some are intimidated by commenting in a second language. We should respect every individual’s right to decide for themselves whether to remain silent or participate. BGR has a diverse group of members and welcomes the presence of all members, regardless of their post counts.
That being said, writers do appreciate feedback from readers. It is gratifying and rewarding for a writer to receive acknowledgement that a reader has enjoyed their efforts; however, mandatory feedback given as a ‘price for admission’ to read a fic will never take the place of sincere, thoughtful comments left by a reader who has been affected by a particular story. We are grateful to our members who take the time to leave written encouragement to our writers, but such comments will always be optional at BGR.
*** Help Haiti Fic Update *** Thank you for your continued support of the Help Haiti project. So far, $850.00 has been given to various charities for the benefit of Haitian relief efforts and has resulted in several new stories and several more in progress. You can find these fics at BGR and also at:

Your generosity is a win-win for both Haiti and the BG community. Kudos to all who have participated in this worthy project!

How Bad Girls Riot Got Started
Bad Girls Riot was started because we adore Bad Girls and want to share our love with others who feel the same way. We'd like to offer members an alternative place to read, play games and socialize with fellow members.
Our archive of Nikki and Helen fan fiction is growing steadily. Established writers are invited to share their talents with us, and we encourage new authors to try their hand at creative writing.
