Happy Birthday, Writing.Com!

Wow, September 1st, 2014 -- Writing.Com turns 14 years old!
Let's let that soak in for a moment. FOURTEEN. That's one decade... plus four more years!

We are older than Facebook, have more years than Twitter and were here long before the first iPhone. And we are still going strong, better than ever, and enjoying every second of building this website to be the absolute best online writing community writers could imagine. Every year we hit a bigger milestone and it gives us goosebumps every single time.

We have some exciting site updates, a list of amazing community-run contests and activities, and an all-around wonderful week of festivities ahead!


*Balloonv* The Biggest Writer's Block Party EVER!
From September 1st through September 7th, Writing.Com is hosting the biggest online block party for writers of all interests and levels! Contests, activities, increased daily rewards, reviewing challenges and rewards, new releases, and a 10% back sale... don't miss a single thing at "Writing.Com Party Central 2025!" Open in new Window.!

         Party Central Signature


*Balloonv* NEW: One FREE Badge Every 30 Days!
Beginning September 1st until forever, every paid member can now send one free virtual Merit Badge every 30 days! Choose a member, choose a badge and send it. It's that easy. If you are eligible for a free badge at the time, the Writing.Com system will automatically know this and discount the badge you wish to send. (You can not defer the free badge; the system will always use the free one first when giving badges.)
         http://www.writing.com/main/badges
* Physical merit badges are not free and are the same additional cost.


*Balloonv* NEW: "Special Appreciation" Merit Badges!
We've added a new "Special Appreciation" Merit Badge into our shop for Preferred Authors, Moderators, Sr. Moderators and Staff. Each promoted member can send only their coordinating color of "Special Appreciation" badge, but the badges may be given out to ANY member on Writing.Com, regardless of the recipient's level. These badges can be found at the bottom of the merit badge shop under "WDC Official" Badges.
         http://www.writing.com/main/badges
