Mod Post

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I'm Nanaki BH and I have been appointed your new official unofficial mod by emerald_embers. Neither of us have been able to get in touch with animadri, so you'll have to accept my "unofficial" title until I can be granted permissions on the site.

I fully intend to still give you guys a summer round. All the same rules as before apply.

The dates are slightly closer together in this round to cut out some time that I thought was being wasted last time. NOTICE: This is SOON. SOOOOOON.

July 16th: Prompt submission OPENS
August 5th: Prompt Submission CLOSES
August 6th: Prompt List goes up for viewing
August 7th: Claiming of prompts OPENS
(Claiming of prompts in this round will last for an indefinite time.)
September 1st: Posting begins

Please notice, THIS IS NOT THE PROMPT SUBMISSION POST. I'm sure you already have a lot of ideas you guys saved up, but I'm giving you some time to think up some more just in case you got some new fandoms while you were waiting.

I figure that I should probably do a reminder about how you request/what you can request before I put the submission post up just to clear up some possible questions:

Like before, you can request from ANY fandom. This includes TV shows, anime, games, books, sports, etc. All kinds of pairings are welcome as well as requests for general fanfiction. While the community started as a 'kinkfest', all ratings are accepted. (I encourage you to specify what kind of rating you want if you have a preference. Keep that in mind.) Anyway, this is just a good opportunity for you to request from rarer fandoms or pairings. You aren't limited to how much you can request, so GO CRAZY.

All further details like the specifics on how to format your requests will be given next week.

I'm not changing much. This is still the same Spring Kinkfest, just done at a slightly different time. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors!

(If you have any further questions/concerns, just comment!)

Yaaaaaay! :D

[estelwolfe.livejournal.com]

Huzzah and thank you! For some of my tiny fandoms, this is the best place to request fic. I'm glad it isn't dead.

[ocvalkyrie.livejournal.com]

Yeeesss!!!

Persona 3, here I come~!

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you.

I will have to start thinking up prompts...

[measuringlife.livejournal.com]

First off, yaaaay~~~

Second off, I've got two questions. First, are you going to be reusing the old prompts or is this a blank slate round again? Just wondering if I need to repost stuff or not. Secondly, can we has kink meme? Animadri used to put up kink memes before the rounds–usually in the February one, but it hasn't been around lately and it was one of my favorite parts of the SK experience and have been missing it horribly :c

Anyways, thanks for this :D

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

I was thinking it would be blank slate. (Unless we don't get many new requests or something.)

I never actually took part in the kinkmeme here myself. If I put one up... How does right after this round sound instead?

[measuringlife.livejournal.com]

Mkay :) I'll copy things over, then.

That works. Thanks :D

[jessicamariek.livejournal.com]

Yay! I agree with estelwolfe, for some of my bitty fandoms this is the best place on LJ for fic. *starts dreaming up prompts*

\o/

W00t!

[darth-veyda.livejournal.com]

Just HOORAAY! ^_^

I have a question, though - will you give us an amnesty date to post late claims for previous round this time? ^_^

(Yeah, I know I sould be reeeeeally asahmed for being SO late. I am ^_^)

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

How does it sound if I opened an amnesty period from now until when posting for the new round starts on September 1st? Seems like a nice chunk of unused time that could be used and it would give people something to read while they wait for the new stories.

[darth-veyda.livejournal.com]

Wow, great! ^_^ Thank you very-very much! ^_^

[roseargent.livejournal.com]

We can be ashamed together, because I was totally going to ask the same question. <3

[darth-veyda.livejournal.com]

*just smiles and blushes even more*

[terraplan.livejournal.com]

I'm glad spring kink is still alive!! :D

[smillaraaq.livejournal.com]

Great news! :)

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[emerald-embers.livejournal.com]

Thank you again darling for taking over :).

When you link to posting rules and similar for the new round, you might want to put a note in for people that I'll still be handling any duties that require moderator privilege (deletion of spam posts/comments or flames, for example), and for people to PM me if this is necessary. Saves you forwarding PMs <3.

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

No problem. :3

Good point! Will do. I'm wondering, btw... Has the community already reached its limit for tags? Or is it just that tagging is a moderator priviledge on this community? As it is right now, I noticed that I can't make new tags. If anybody needs help tagging, that's another thing I can't do.

[emerald-embers.livejournal.com]

I believe it may have reached its limit for tags - I've discovered though that I can add you as a moderator, rather than a maintainer, and this should give you the following abilities:

Moderators do not have the ability to change any settings in the community or to delete entries once they have been approved from the moderation queue, but they can approve or deny membership requests, delete and screen comments, and add/remove tags.

Just fyi, the only condition for approving membership requests is whether the LJ member's profile states their being over 18 (either through date of birth/year of birth or through mentioning their age in the bio section). Over 18 = approved ^^.

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

That would be excellent, thank you. :3

I'll try to see if there's anything I can do with the tags... hm. (I'm not sure individual tags for each user was such a good idea.;; Tags by fandom might have made more sense in the longrun, imo.)

[capri-chan.livejournal.com]

Since you mentioned tag limits, I thought this might be a good place to ask something that I've wanted for awhile:

Would you please combine the "Kingdom Hearts" and "Kingdom Hearts II" tags? It's a whole damn series now, and it's annoying when I vaguely remember a fic from the fandom, and I have to search through both of the tags to find the fic.

Also, since it's possible to search a community by poster (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=215), tags for posters aren't necessary (though I would recommend giving instructions for this on the main profile page for those of us who haven't memorized the url format).

[nanakibh.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, editing tags isn't something I can actually do with the type of permissions I have as a 'moderator'. The only thing I actually CAN do is approve of member requests.
