Hello there.
Hey, all!

You’ve probably noticed a lot of changes going on around here, including the table, the new FAQ post, and new prompts. That’s because, a little while back, [info]lucythedragon gave up the community, due to time constraints. We volunteered to take over, and here we are, hopefully keeping everything running smoothly.

Who are we, you ask? That’s sort of the purpose of this post, along with noting a couple of changes.

This is what Kelly says:

"I’m [info]subluxate, but you can call me by my name—Kelly. I’m a college student overinvested in LiveJournal, but we all need a hobby…or an addiction, as the case may be. I run or help run several communities in addition to writing fic and role-playing. Outside of LiveJournal, I’m studying English, psychology, and liberal arts, and working on an original novel. You can either e-mail me at rwryter[at]livejournal[dot]com or leave a comment on this post at my journal if you need to contact me for anything."

And I'm [info]sarcasticsra, also known as Sara. I'm not as overinvested in LiveJournal as Kelly (Hell, I don't think anyone is. =P) but I still am fairly addicted nonetheless, as I write and role-play myself. I'm younger, as well—I'm going to be a senior in high school once the school year starts again. My email is WLiiAlover88[at]aol[dot]com, and as such WLiiAlover88 is also my AIM name, if you need to get in touch. I have Y!M and MSN, as well (redblue2007 and redblue2007[at]yahoo[dot]com respectively) so I can pretty much talk to most of you. I'm on near constantly, though there is the chance that I'm away from the computer. Just leave a message and I'll be sure to get back to you if that's the case. Incidentally, all this information is in my userinfo, as well.

So, we've made a couple changes:

-RPF/S is now allowed.
-There are now multiple prompt lists. This means that multiple people can claim the same thing, as long as they choose a different prompt list. We did this to free up some claims, in case people want to write one that's already been taken, because we'd like to keep this challenge low pressure. We're not enforcing time limits on claims. (Well, unless three years go by and you still haven't posted anything.) However, we do encourage you to complete your claim in a relatively timely manner. Others might want to have a shot at it, too.
-There's a new header guideline in the community info.
-The userinfo has been changed to reflect the new rules.

I think that's about all. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

We realize it's not everyone's cuppa, but then again, neither is slash/het/gen/certain pairings/what have you. Just scroll past it. ^^

I don't care about writing smut about fictional people, but writing it about real people is just plain creepy and borders on libel. That's why a lot of communities don't allow it. Covering their asses. But hey, your community, your funeral.

I've seen several challenge communities that allow it. They seem to be doing fine.

We'll just make sure that the writers use proper disclaimers. Thanks for your concerns, though.

I just finished one of my claims, and when I went to the Hall of Fame post to notify you, it says there's no entry there. So I figured I'd let you know it's not there and also tell you my completed table for the CSI: NY (General) claim is up at http://community.livejournal.com/ragnarok_fic/54447.html

I kind of forgot to post stories as I wrote them, sorry, and now I've got my claim (Devil May Cry General Series, Mythology Prompts list) completed. What should I do? Post a link to the table on the group...? Sorry about this.

Just to let you know you have a line in the claim queue. Kinda curious as to when you will get around to approving claims again.

Thanks! We know; we've just been a little swamped lately with other things, but we'll get to that as soon as possible.

I know you probably are swamped with school and everything, but do you know when you or your co-mods will get around to approving claims again?

Hi there! This is the mod from [info]bigbluebox. I'm sorry to get back to you so late!

By the way, I'd love to affiliates! Thanks for asking! :)
(And I've already added your comm to the list.)

Hey! I claimed a while ago--I think in like early April--and I can't post to the community, for some reason. My claim was approved by a mod.....I'm trying to post the first few fics I wrote, and I can't. Any suggestions?

thanks!

Sorry about that! It's fixed now, so you should be able to post.

Hi, I made the following request months ago (albeit in the wrong section, it's on the second page of the Claims post):

Hello.
I'm due to change my user name in a few days and currently have a claim that will need modifying because of it:
Video Games >> Knights of the Old Republic >> General >> General >> General >> albur >> Original >> No
My new user name is [info]albur_lily
Many thanks, and sorry for messing you about. :)


I've written a few of my fics now for this, but I can't post them. I assume this is because the info wasn't changed - I've been denied access to post even though I'm a member of the comm.

Could this please be rectified? Also, my word list post can be found here:

http://community.livejournal.com/albionix/1227.html

Thank you. :)

You have posting access now. I'll let Kelly know to update the table. Sorry about that!
