Please see the most recent MOD NOTE and ADDENDUM


(updated 5 July)


Good evening ladies and gentlemen (and good day to you too, inhabitants of the other side of the world). As always - this isn't a captain speaking but I come bearing news nonetheless.

It has been brought to my attention today(/night) by our good friend OxfortTweed, that a Chatter Post might work quite well for our fandom.

I'm inclined to agree with him.


As such, here you have a brand-spanking-new post to chatter, Brit-pick, ask questions, debate, gossip, gush and generally indulge in any fannish activity that does not fall under the category of posting or filling prompts. I hope you all enjoy it

The usual guidelines apply, but mostly:

-  Please be respectful to one another.

-  Don't bash other (non)anon's comments/questions/ideas/etc.

-  Have fun

Now go forth, chat amongst yourselves and enjoy. I am of course on stand, so if any problems arise, feel free to drop me a line.

And if you stumble across any plot bunnies here, please just drop them off home at the Prompt-Post, the rest of the herd will be overjoyed to meet them.


Or as they say in Limerick

It's been brought to my attention we are needing
A place for discussion, not reading
I hope this post will do
I'll leave the rest to you
And Beware of the plot bunnies breeding

Sorry if the poem is rubbish - I literally haven't written one since grade five.


REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM



According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.

Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.

It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.

Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

I disagree. I think most of us are able to remind each other of things, without anyone getting huffy about it. It's just when things are really contentious or obviously trolling, we should let the mods deal with it.

What we've seen in the past week or so hasn't necessarily been a case of people trying to enforce rules. It's been one or two people leaving rude comments and others rising to the bait and sniping back. In those cases, things have degenerated into name-calling, violent language, and personal attacks. Those are the things that won't be tolerated. It's a growing community and as such, it's a given that people won't always agree with each other. That's fine, as long as the discussion stays polite.

If the sole reason you find yourself commenting on something is just to leave a rude remark, then you need to stop, reconsider, and say nothing or rephrase your comment in a constructive fashion. In a community where everyone is supposed to be over 18 to participate, this is not an unreasonable requirement.

The mods are willing to step in when things get out of hand, but for the most part in a community of adults, we shouldn't have to. People should be able to ignore or discuss civilly.
