Since we all love each other might as well have a place we can all talk!

There will be some changes around here...

Everyone should have recieved the following email from me:

Okay so just wanted to let everyone know that we've got another featured fic up. Eventually I'll get better about emailing everyone every time I post, but for right now please don't hate me for forgetting for weeks.

Meanwhile, I was very displeased that for the first time in week 70 we had absolutely no critiques submitted. I know I can't expect you all to critique every time (hell, I only critique about three or four every eight weeks) but there's really no reason that we ever have to have a week where no critiques are written.

From now on mods, admin, and members are required to critique at least twice every eight weeks or you will lose your FCG privleges. Your account will be deleted. If you can not meet the quota (which I hardly find unfair) you will be required to submit a written request via PM to myself or a mod (mods forward this to me) that your account not be deleted. Mods/Admin if you fail to critique twice in an eight week you will be placed on probation, if your attendance remains low for a second eight-week period you will be demoted to member.

If any of you have an issue with this please feel free to post in the thread I created in the General Discussion forum and I'll be glad to consider your points and thoughts. You all know how to find me if you feel I'm being unjust.

Oh, and some good news for you all! Next week is challenge week. As always—everyone is invited to participate. New and old members. Spread the word! And be thinking about which fandom you want to write for.

Much love to each of you,
-LLK



Feel free to discuss it here, as you want. Also, if you have any suggestions for changes feel free to mention them. We'll discuss them!

Challenge week! Yay! And I'm on holidays, so it shouldn't be too rushed this time. Yay!

And I think that that's a fair enough rule. I know that people are busy, but it's hard when no one critiques at all.

What if you're in a position to where you aren't able to be on the computer for a few months? I may be in that position, so should I just bring it up with you?

And nothing really mattered except for me to be with you
But in time we all forgot and we all grew

Guilty as charged. :(

But I promise to be better from now on (at least, from soon on) - for the reasons given in the Travel Guides bit!

Well I believe I said you simply have to ask for permission to miss a few times. I don't want to delete any valued members, such as you, and if you give me/us some warning that we can't count on a critique from you then I'd be more than happy to try to accomodate that.

It's just that it's disheartening to see that there are 40+ members here that haven't ever written a single critique.
