non-member challenge submission [07 Feb 2009|10:48am] ignipes Title: PUSH Author: tree_and_leaf Rating: PG Warnings: Religious themes; satirises various flavours of Christianity, but is nevertheless written from a Christian perspective. Not intended to cause any offence! Length: 11451 words (in two parts, link goes to first part). Notes: Written for the Nov 2007 "Totally Not Bad-Fic Challenge", prompt 96. Young evangelical is sent to Hogwarts, despite being convinced magic is evil, and is keen to convert everyone. Summary: Amy is a sincere Christian who just wants to follow the Bible. Couldn't be simpler. Unfortunately, she can also do magic, and when she is sent to Hogwarts, things quickly get very complicated indeed. Amy Smith used to try to believe that the weird stuff that happened round her was just her imagination. post comment

The Future of the Community, Part Two [31 Jan 2009|04:56pm] sasha_davidovna Thanks to everyone for your thoughts on our post the other day. After reading your comments and discussing them between ourselves, ignipes and I have decided that it is best to leave omniocular as a dedicated Harry Potter gen community for now. However, as both of us have greatly increased real life obligations since we started the community and have also moved on from our most intense interest in the Harry Potter fandom, we no longer feel that we are able to give this community the time and attention it deserves. If anyone is interested in taking over as new moderators for this community, please comment here. (Comments are screened.) The time involved can be significant (especially during application periods, which often require several hours per applicant) but it is well worth the effort, and a lot of fun besides! Our primary requirement for the position will be a formal promise to ourselves and the community at large never to delete omniocular, and to maintain the commitment to high quality gen fanfiction and art. If we can not find at least two new moderators (we encourage people to apply jointly, though this isn't required), we will close the community to new submissions and leave it up as an archive. post comment

mod post: the future of the community [28 Jan 2009|02:33pm] ignipes As you may have noticed, activity on omniocular has been very sparse for several months. We have been shamefully negligent moderators, and the low number of new contributions and minimal participation when we last held monthly challenges (quite a while ago, we admit) suggests to us there is simply not the same degree interest as there was when we began omniocular a few years ago. Not very surprising, perhaps, as the fandom interests of many of the community's members and watchers have changed. sasha_davidovna and I have been discussing where the community can go from here, and we would love to have some input from members and watchers to gauge interest in the possibilities. If there is still significant interest in a dedicated HP gen fic community, we are definitely open to suggestions for how we can revitalize the community within its original purpose. sasha_davidovna and I have limited time and energy to devote to overhauling the community right now, but there may be others who are willing to give it a shot. We are willing to consider passing the reins if it means an injection of fresh ideas and contributions. Another option that has been suggested is that we open omniocular up to other fandoms. We know that many of our current members and past challenge participants are active in non-HP fandoms, including some in which gen fic and artwork can be hard to track down. This could be on either on a month-by-month "guest fandom" basis, similar to the monthly challenges, or as a permanent community for gen fic from multiple fandoms. (HP fanworks would, of course, always be welcome.) We haven't discussed the finer details of how this would work yet, but we are putting it out there as a possibility. What we would like right now is to gather your opinions on what, if anything, you would like to see happening on omniocular in the future. Shall we close up shop, attempt to revive, or change course? Or something else entirely? (You'll have to think of your own mixed metaphor for the "something else.") Please feel free to share your opinions in the comments of this post. We welcome any and all suggestions and ideas. Thank you! read (31) post comment
