Past Discussions
With the arrivals of a good numbers of new people at [info]lion_lamb ,all fairly eager to participate in the community, there's been a number of discussions posted that were already discussed a few months ago. While we understand that newbies haven't had a chance to participate in those discussions, we'd rather not see the eternal Jacob versus Edward debate, or the dreaded question "how do you think will BD end?" again.

This compilation of past discussions is here to show you what's been discussed before and hopefully sparkle new perspectives on new subjects. It'd be great if, before posting a question/discussion, you could take a look at that post. If your question has already been asked, or discussion been made, please do not post.

Of course, this is not 100% finished, and there are probably a good number of posts that need to be added, so please be patient! And if you remember something that's not in there, please comment with a link!
This post will be added to the sidebar so please don't hesitate to check it before posting!

Lol, thanks! It didn't take as long as I thought it would, but that's because I worked with the tags (which prove that tags are LOVE).

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I know Annie didn't post this here, but maybe link to her essay, too? It's here and it perfectly states some of my reasons for preferring Edward over Jacob -- and I know a few others would agree with the points as well.

IAWTC. What Annie says, I think it. I also liked that essay by [info]slowdescent_ that compares Twilight to the Little Mermaid. And after finally reading the Host, I am so convinced of my happy ending.

Thanks, Mel!

I LOVE YOU TOO.

And I'll link to the essay. I think there's one of the essay above that wasn't posted in the comm anyway, but since it answers some questions or have a good discussion going on, I didn't mind. So I'll just add your link too :D

You're welcome. We hope to make things easier for people. It's not fun for newbies to arrive late in discussions but it's not fun for "older" people to see the same stuff posted again and again, so we hope that this compilation will help people catch on new things and post about new subjects. God knows there's lots to talk about!

maybe i'm just retarded but i was wondering if maybe you could have another poll to see if everyone wants to have a fan fiction only communitys? maybe even icon only too... its just all i see is fan fiction and icons i really want to keep this community on my flist because of the other stuff but it kind of floods it and i miss things from other communities :/

I don't know if we'll be separating stuff just yet, especially as the poll was done just last month, but we'll be going on moderated posting next week and hopefully that will eliminate a lot of the flooding/spam somewhat.
