Hello, I’m having trouble finding my way around here. If this post is in the wrong place, please delete it. I’m Beatrice and I live in Germany. *Bonanza* is a part of my childhood. Since the pandemic started, I’ve really enjoyed reading *Bonanza* stories here. I like writing stories about Little Joe. My English isn't very good, so my son and I try to translate the stories into English. What is the best way to add a story edit etc.

Welcome WildHeart. I believe @Cheaux or @BluewindFarm , who are the @Brandsters will be best to answer your question.

They answered now but i need 100 Posts in this Forum. This ist Not easy. I have Trouble with this Forum. Forum is this chaos. Not really to understand what should i post or write and in which category. It seems Not easy. I have lot of Stories but Not published. I started to write in corona time as a fun. My son will translate in english. This Takes time. I don"t know how you started short Stories or Long?

@WildHeart (I love your username! 💓)

Beatrice,

Many members who wish to become authors think 100 posts is overwhelming, but once they start participating in the Forums, they find the number is easy to reach. The post count requirement has been a part of Brand for over a decade. This allows our members to get to know you and for you to get to know our members.

Members play games in the Casino where they work on puzzles The Casino - Bonanza Brand. Some are where the member posts the time it took to complete the puzzle. There are word games where the next word needs to start with the last letter of the current word.

Comment on any of the pictures in the Actors Forums: The Cartwrights - Bonanza Brand Comments can be as simple as "I like" or let our members know more about why you like the picture.

Or comment on any of the episode discussions: Episode Discussions - Bonanza Brand Comments can be simple, did you like it or what didn't you like.

The Classroom has forums to discuss Geography, Literature, Arts/Crafts/Recipes, Social Studies: The Classrooms - Bonanza Brand

I'm sure our members would love to hear about where you live, including holidays and special events.

Comment on any of the stories posted in the Reading Room: The Reading Room - Bonanza Brand

Consider participating in our Writing Challenges: Challenges II - Bonanza Brand or comment on contributions posted by other members from earlier challenges.

Another way to increase your post count in the Forums is to list the stories you've read in the 2026 Read and Review Library Stories - Page 11 - You've Got To Read This! - Bonanza Brand (Each story that you've read and left a review should be listed in a separate post in order to increase your post count.)

Members may open any of the events listed in the Upcoming Events (located in the right-hand sidebar, scroll down to find) listing the Actor Birthdays and Episodes Original Broadcast date. Post a comment -- Did you see the actor in a different role on another series or movie? The monthly calendar is also visible under Events September 2026 - Bonanza Brand

We look forward to seeing you around the Forums and the Library!

This site has a lot of information about the Bonanza horses:

@WildHeart Post under Ranch Business/Virginia City Stage Lines to tell us a little about yourself. Ranch Business/Virginia City Stage Lines/Welcome WildHeart

This link is a good place to discuss horses (from Bonanza or any others) - Bonanza Discussion Boards/The Cartwrights/Family & Friends/In the 'Neigh'borhood

Thank you so much.

Welcome to the site @WildHeart I love your username and I’m delighted to meet another Joe fan. I also worried about making the post count, but I accomplished it faster than I thought and I’m sure you will too. ☺️

Thanks will ready it. My Story will Not be published :-(

There is always the "Better Late than Never" challenge, posting stories for challenges where the deadline was missed. This occurs in January each year. You won't earn the 20th anniversary badge, but you can earn the BLTN badge.

Please consider writing stories for some of the past Pinecones or Double Drabble challenges. Even though you won't earn a badge for any story posted in the Forums, our members will get to know you and your writings. And these stories will add to your post count to earn author status in the Library.

Challenges I - Bonanza Brand

Challenges II - Bonanza Brand

Thank you for explanation. Was Not clear for me. I will Look at this @BluewindFarm

In the above linked Forums, there are many other challenges that you can consider writing.

Simpler challenges, where the writer only had to include one word were called Seedling Challenges:

Seedlings Archives - Bonanza Brand

@WildHeart Another way to increase your post count.

After reading a story in the Library and leaving a comment, come back to the Forums to list the story here: 2026 Read and Review Library Stories

By the way, I have moved this conversation out of the 20th Anniversary Challenge, so this doesn't distract from the posts related to the challenge.

Thanks, I'll take a look at everything; I enjoy writing.
