[mood | excited]

WE'VE GOT GREAT NEWS! [info]_alicesprings and I are thrilled to announce that we found a place to host QAF_RETREAD that doesn't require us to lock the community because of adult content. We'll be able to flaunt enjoy our porny lifestyle in PUBLIC. WOO HOO!

We'll be posting from scratch OVER HERE at insanejournal. New recs, repeat recs and themed recs. Come join us for new fun and squeeeeeeeing over fanfic. It's just a click away!

However, that means that this community is now CLOSED TO NEW MEMBERS.

But, guess what? You can view QAF_RETREAD at insanejournal right now on your LJ FLIST!

To add, be sure you're logged in and GO HERE and add it to your flist like you always do. This will work for free accounts as well.

Happy Retreading!

Bottom Line According to LJ FAQ 196 [Jun. 25th, 2006|11:50 pm]

[mood | aggravated]

If you are the maintainer of an adult-oriented community, you must:
  • Configure your community to have Closed or Moderated Membership and restrict membership to the community only to users whose birthdates on their userinfo page indicate that they are over the age of 18. All future members must display their full birthdate, including year, on their User Info page.
  • Remove any member from your community who has a birthdate listed which would make them under the age of eighteen, or who has not listed their complete birthdate in their userinfo, including year.
  • Require that all adult or explicit material to your community be posted with a security level of Members-only, including any past entries. You should also set the minimum security level for the community to be Members-only.
  • Delete any public entries containing explicit content, unless the entry poster is willing to mark their entry as Members-only. All remaining public entries in the community must be free of adult content.


Therefore, in two days, we will be going through the current members of this community to check their user info page for their date of birth. Once you're approved, what you do is no longer my problem as I see it. I understand that this is a huge inconvenience, and you can all feel free to get mad at me and not [info]_alicesprings because I'm a stickler for the rules.

In addition, if you've made a post in this community prior to June 24, 2006, you have to go back and edit it to friends only, or we will be forced to delete it.

Believe me, this is no fun for us either and it definitely is not my choice to have to play parent and censor.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation over the next week or so as we get everything in place and we look forward to getting back to what's important....QUEER AS FOLK and BRIAN AND JUSTIN, specifically.

[mood | annoyed]

After careful consideration and the discovery of some underage members, [info]_alicesprings and I have decided we need to reiterate the rules with respect to age, to inform everyone that all new memberships will be moderated, and that if you are discovered to be under the age of 18 (for the United States) or the age of majority for your country, state, county, or locale, you will be BANNED.

Therefore, please be advised of the following:
YOU MUST BE 18 YRS. OF AGE OR OLDER TO JOIN THIS COMMUNITY. BY JOINING THIS COMMUNITY, YOU ARE STATING THAT YOU ARE OF AGE IN THE COUNTRY, STATE, COUNTY AND COMMUNITY WHERE YOU RESIDE.

By accessing comments on the [info]qaf_retread community, you may find material that is of an adult nature. If you are under the age of 18 you are not allowed to register for membership. By joining this community, you certify that you are at least 18 years of age and understand the conditions of use, and agree to abide by all community policies and rules that exist now or may be applied in the future. You further release the owners, administrators and general membership of this board from any and all liability resulting from your actions, the actions of others, and/or use of this board. Thank you for your understanding.

HOUSEKEEPING [Jun. 23rd, 2006|02:27 pm]

[mood | pissed off]

It has come to my attention that there is at least one person who is a member of this community that is under the age of majority, which is 18 in the United States. If you are under 18 please voluntarily remove yourself from the community. If you're wondering if this means you, then the answer is YES. I'll give you all until Saturday June 24, 2006...otherwise, I'm going to have to go through the list person by person and double check.

I'm sorry if that seems harsh to anyone, but I'm not risking jail time, the loss of my professional license and/or a civil suit so that you can be members of a site that contains material of a mature subject matter.

We would just like to remind everyone to leave feedback for the authors if you've enjoyed one of their stories. We know for a fact they appreciate it!

Also, at the suggetion of [info]briggen we are tagging all our recs from now on to make it easier for you all to find a particular category you may be looking for. A few of the older posts have been done, and we'll get around to tagging them all at some stage. Hopefully, soon.

[mood | calm]

We created this community out of our love for two things, Queer as Folk and Brian/Justin fanfic. It is strictly a rec community and not a forum for critiquing fanfic. If you feel the need to do that, please contact the author. If you're unhappy with the way that we're running this community, we will harbor no hard feelings if you choose to leave.

[mood | high on all the fic!]

We don't want anyone to panic...hee...we're going to suspend posting for a couple of days to give everyone (and us) a chance to enjoy all the great stories that came out thanks to [info]qaf_anon.  

If you miss us, lol, head over to [info]qaf_marathons or check out our new community at [info]qaf_coffeeclub.

We'll pick up at [info]qaf_retread right where we left off in a couple of days...enjoy all the new fic.

Work Inside Out- by keewick [Mar. 17th, 2006|03:40 am]

I rec'd this in my journal back in January. I was so rocked by this fic and the briliant writing that I just had to post about it here, too. It's called Work Inside Out, and it's by [info]keewick. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

[mood | creative]

Because this community has grown so much (and Welcome to all...we're really excited to have you come play with us), [info]_alicesprings and I have decided that we need to reiterate the rules and ADD a new one, so here goes:

1.   NO Brian/Michael
2.   NO badfic  (While it may seem lame, we're really picky about what constitutes badfic.  However, that's what      separates this community from others.  Trust us, there's plenty of really, really good stuff to last us a looong time and we've only just started.)
3.   NO flaming.
4.  PLEASE do not put recs and links to fic in your comments because we will be forced to delete them.  Why? you ask.  Well for two reasons.  One, it defeats the purpose of the community if we can't  all read and discuss the recommendations and two, it makes it really hard to organize and maintain the Memories section for archiving only the best.

We want to thank you all for joining.  We also want to encourage everyone to join the discussions, we're enjoying them, some of the authors seem to be really enjoying them, and we want everyone to feel free to participate.  Think of it as a book club.

HAPPY RETREADING and Thanks for playing!

I just saw [info]triciaqaf's post about this community, and I dunno how I missed it, but I can't WAIT to start plowing through your archives. :D

JUST A HOUSEKEEPING MATTER [Mar. 8th, 2006|09:21 pm]

[mood | thoughtful]

[info]_alicesprings and I would just like to reiterate the reasons we started this community.  We both love to read fanfic and wanted to share with some of our newer friends the authors and stories that we had come to know and love.  We had hoped this community would help us spark some discussions over our favorite fics too.  However, we do not want to step on any authors toes.    We had a conversation today because we were both concerned that we didn't have the authors permission to pimp their fic and they weren't getting any feedback.  

Therefore, if you would prefer that we not recommend any of your stories, please just let us know and we will honor any of those requests.

In addition, we sincerely urge our members to leave feedback for these authors if they enjoyed the stories.  The authors deserve to know that their work is still being appreciated and that it's reaching a new audience.

Thanks to everyone and please continue to enjoy the retread!

INFO [Feb. 28th, 2006|04:08 am]

[Tags|]

Ok eveybody, we're ready to get started.  [info]_alicesprings is minutes away from the first post.  However, we just wanted to point out a few things.

First of all, we want to welcome everyone and remind you that this is a safe Queer as Folk fanfic playground.  We have very few rules:  NO Brian/Michael stories, NO badfic, and NO flaming.  However, these rules will be strictly enforced and as maintainers of the community, we reserve the right to delete any post that breaks them.  If you aren't sure exactly what constitutes badfic, be forewarned that practically everything at www.bjfic.net and www.midnight-whispers.com is what we consider badfic.  ETA: This of course, exempts all the authors you all "know" to be of the upper echelon in QaF writing. And while I personally am thankful those places exist as archives for the wonderful fic, I can't help wishing they had some form of selective elimination. If in doubt as to what constitues badfic, email us at qaf.retread@gmail.com and we'll let you know.

Now, sit back, put on your reading glasses, grab a beverage, hang on, and let the retreading begin.

We'll kick off with our first post soon. Thereafter, you're invited to post your own recs/discussion, as long as you abide by the rules. No Brian/Michael, no bad!fic and no flaming. There are other communities for that stuff.
