1. Log in to the site and go to your user profile (the "My Account" link in the left navigation pane).
2. Near the top of the page, click on "Apply for role".
3. In the drop-down list, choose "Authenticated reader," and then click "Apply."

Your request will be sent to the admins for processing. Once your status is in place, you will be able to see unpublished original fiction on the story lists and in search results.

Important: Authors who post original fiction on Metafic may also be trying to publish their stories at magazines or online publications. To make it possible for them to do this, we have to make sure that original stories aren't "publicly available" -- that is, they can't be visible on a Google search or by someone who's just surfing the Web. If they were, then magazines would refuse to publish them. That's why these stories are viewable only to Authenticated Readers.

By joining the "Authenticated Readers" group, you agree that you won't copy any part of the stories, or discuss them anywhere except in comments made on Metafic itself.
