Mod Post

[rarepairs_mod]

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 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!

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 unlocking your table! I'll add you back to the claims list right now. :)

I also really love your idea, so we just might use it soon!

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!
