How about asking others if they got the Mention before making a change. If so, then it's something on my end. I know some capitalize my name and I don't get the Mentions.
I had another question. I thought a We-Write was just about you providing a prompt word(s) or introductory story and didn't require a partner. The Partner We-Write is the one that requires you to find a partner to write with. Am I totally confused on this issue?
A freewrite is " just about you providing a prompt word(s) or introductory story and didn't require a partner"
The we-write requires finding a partner, then writing a story together based on the prompt.
There seems to be some new people a bit confused on this. Thanks for asking!
Not trying to be compative, but these are the We-Writes I participated in previously:

Ah, I see. Yes there are two versions of the we-write. One you use the daily prompt. the other you’re given the start of a story. I think @zeldacroft chose to do the latter most of the time.
I’m choosing to use the daily prompt for now, to see how much participation we get before investing the time to write the prompts. I’ll probably ask for volunteers to write the prompt at some point. If you’re ever interested in writing the prompt just let me know!
Does that make sense? I’m sorry I misunderstood your question. No combativeness detected.
Thank you. But my initial question was from the standpoint of a Partner We-Write (need a partner to complete) as compared to just a simple We-Write (you provide a prompt - no partner participating).
I've participated in both previously, and both have prompts.
The 2 previous versions as I remember are the:
We-Write
Partner We-Write
So is the question about the name I used for the contest? You’re right they used to have different names for each kind. I’m doing the best I can with limited time and didn’t think about differentiating when I wrote the posts.
I already posted here the We-Write (I wrote by myself)
Here is my Partner We-Write:

My Partner was IamRainCrystal who wrote the 2nd part of our story.
Hello @justclickingdiva, I hope that you are doing well.
I see that you have an issue with the name being different now.
As you know, the Freewritehouse is an account where many freewriters take turns to present contests and to run them as they feel fit.
Let me tell you the story of the We-Write.
We first started it to celebrate Day 100 of the Daily Freewrite Prompt. We did it on my profile and @snook was the one who came up with the idea.
At that point, we didn't even have a Freewritehouse account yet.
Then, we started the FreewriteHouse as you know it and did the WE-Write contests with people finding partners - what you call Partner Freewrite in your comment.
But we also did the We-write with presenting a beginning and asking people to write the ending. At that time, we still called it WE-Write.
Since then, we had several people who took on running the contest.
A huge THANK YOU to @freedomtowrite and @zeldacroft.
Each had the freedom to change the name, the contest post and whatever else they wanted to fit the contest to their liking - still keeping We-write in the title and the spirit of collaboration.
Now, @ntowl is running the contest and has the freedom to choose the name and write and time the contest post how she wants to do it.
She chose for this version of the We-Write - the one where you find a partner and write a story together- to be called plain and simple We-Write. Just how we did when we started the whole thing.
In the future, she might offer other versions of the We-Write as well she will name as she sees fit.
I hope this helps to clear up the confusion.
Happy writing! I hope you have a partner picked to enter the fun 😂
