I admire your bravery; this is no place for intellectual midgets. Permit us to introduce ourselves. We are the Grammar Nazis, an elite society of pompous, self-righteous, anal-retentive bookworms. We appreciate well-formed sentences, complete thoughts, and correct spelling.

To our minds, bad grammar and spelling are signs of malicious, purposeful incompetence; we kindly request that anything you post here be free of such. Failure to comply with this most fundamental of our laws will result in the internet equivalent of a Friar's Club roast. Repeated violations will lead to your banishment.

As a side note, we are not going to flame you for minor problems with sentence structure or for typographical errors; our purpose is simply to weed out the (intellectual) weaklings that have become far too abundant in other communities. This rigid stance is nothing personal. Rather, it has developed because we are tired of the headaches we get from trying to decipher the incoherent babblings of individuals that have obviously never read a book in their lives.

Suggestions for the betterment of this community are appreciated. Please forward them to the maintainer. Enjoy yourselves, but be careful; a lackadaisical approach could get you into trouble...

Note to applicants:
For those applying for membership, we need only a modicum of proof of a real journal to accept you into our fold. Empty journals are automatically denied.

If you've been rejected, address your concerns to me. Usually, Kelly accepts applications, Dante reviews content, and I (junyr) deny membership and police the comments.

However, because the maintainers occasionally have questions concerning your request, please provide some way to contact you if your journal doesn't allow non-friend comments. My journal allows comments from non-friends; these comments will be automatically screened. Therefore, if I can't leave a message on your journal because of security settings, leave an email address on my journal IF AND ONLY IF your application has taken over a week to be reviewed or you have been denied. Rest assured, it will be deleted without ever being made public.
