Mod Post

Hey guys! Crystal!Mod here with a brief apology for how quiet it's been here lately. Some of you have noticed that the modding has been slow this past...while.

I am re-dedicating myself to keeping this community afloat, however!

Starting with a brief public service announcement: I will be going through the Approved Claims post tonight and deleting any claims that: lead to deleted journals, or have their tables locked/deleted. So if your claim disappears because you locked/deleted your table, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll re-approve you, provided you give me a public table post.

I haven't yet decided if I'll be installing a time limit to claims...we do have a few on the list that are very old. But I don't want to rush people, either, so I'm hesitant. Feel free to offer your opinions on this.

Also please do share your thoughts on the community, if you have any! I do want to bring back some events here but feedback is always appreciated if there's something specific you think we ought to do here at [livejournal.com profile] rarepair_shorts. Spring is coming so it might be nice to host an event for that, perhaps a mini-prompt fest or wishlists or something along those lines. I'll of course post an announcement once I work out the details of that.

So, again, I apologize for letting things go around here. Hopefully that won't happen again. :)

Glad to see the comm. come back. Thanks for keeping it going.

I'll have to trawl through things once you've cleared them and see if I can find inspiration. I need inspiration so badly, and a drive to actually write again.

Hey, my table was f!locked since I ended up locking all entries and never unfroze this one!
Link to my table: http://slytheringurrl.livejournal.com/40787.html | my claiming comment (http://rarepair-shorts.livejournal.com/440339.html?thread=1570579#t1570579)

I hope I can be added again ☺

And, I think hosting a spring-themed event would be lots of fun!! Maybe you could do an Easter-egg themed thing where everyone gets a Easter egg with a surprise prompt in it or something along those lines. I'd love to help, if you need any.

Thanks for modding the com! A spring event would be fun. I like slytheringurrl's Easter egg with surprise prompts idea.

As for the time limit, maybe a one-year time limit (or 394 days :D) between each fill? Just to remind us that we need to write :D

I can't remember the last time I wrote for my claim, not sure if it was super recent, but I know I want to stay involved... I should stir up my muses!

I loved the Ficathon Number Fest that was done a few years ago, and the Easter Egg idea sounds good. I also missed the Winter Exchange fest this year too. I think for time limit wise the first post should be made within the first 6 months and a maximum of a year in between after that.

I would definitely be up for another round of the Numbers Game, and an Easter Exchange sounds fun! I got caught up this past year with moving and starting grad school, but I always have so much fun with the challenges at this community and would love to see something come up for spring! :)

I went back and looked at my claim. You can drop me from that Zach/Luna claim. I haven't done anything for it and I keep running into a wall.

I'm looking into changing my claim to something else. But I'll revisit it a little bit later.

Thanks for letting me know; I'll remove your claim. I hope you come back with another one!
