I have created Private Writing Boards for everyone. Only yourself, and people you invite can see the stuff in there.
To add someone to be able to view your private writing board:
Click the username you want to add.
Click the tab that says groups. You should see your group listed.
Just underneath it says "add this member to group" - click that, job done.
One of the ideas with the Private Writing area is that when you get to the point where you have a finished novel, you can invite people to beta read it (or parts of it.) Or you can use it to post stuff that is not really suitable to be posted elsewhere on the forums.
Enjoy!

I need some help managing my private board. Specifically I want to sticky a thread, but I don't seem to have any moderator-type options coming up that will allow me to do so. Is there a way for me to do this myself or do I need to ask a member of staff? Also, how do you create sub-boards?

We're looking into it, rebelscientist. In the past we haven't found a way to give anyone mod powers over a single forum, but we're double-checking to be sure we didn't miss anything. Until then, parallax or I can do those things for you (both the sticky thread and making sub-boards). Message one of us with what you need done (or hop over to chat).

Ok, we figured out a work-around for being able to mod your own board. rebelscientist, you should have that power now. Anyone else reading this - if you do not have that power over your private forum, and you want it, message me or parallax. Sub-boards we will still have to make for you. Message one of us, and it will help to have the following information: what you want to name the board if you want the same privacy restrictions as your main private board, or if you want to be able to set them separately if you have sub-boards already, or are requesting more than one, which board should be the parent board(s).

Thanks, carelia! The sub-boards thing was more a matter of curiosity than necessity, but thank you for the information

No problem, and if you ever want one, please ask. It helps to have this information here for anyone else who wants it too.

Hey! I love the idea of private boards! I'd like to have mine open for everyone though - just not with other people than myself having the right to create threats -, because I don't intend on sticking anything in there that I don't want anyone else to read (I'm writing in german most of the time so putting in chapters is kind of useless, because I am pretty sure that it's gibberish to most people here, right?). I'd also LOVE to have subboards too? (like one "Current Projects" and one "Prompts" or something like that?) I'm not sure wether it's okay to ask though. I'm such a newbie in here... >.< But I love to have a board for myself. It's really cool.

Ask me anytime, you can send me a private message if you'd prefer to do that, but posting here is ok too. I am frequently in the freenode chat, if you want me to respond faster. Also I reset the permission on your board. It is now accessible to all members of the forum. If I misunderstood and that's not what you want, let me know and I will change it back.

Really? That's awesome! Than... well maybe I could find them and they could read my stuff... Also yes, making it available for everyone was what I intended. Thank you! Question though: Is it possible to make just one subboard acessible to only a few? In case I ever intend to really place important texts on there that I don't to able to be read for everyone (not currently planned, but would be interesting nonetheless)

Yes, that is possible. I have 4 levels of permissions set on my own boards. If you ever need a board like that, let me know and I can make it.
