attention: admin post!

Hey everyone. Just your friendly neighborhood co-mod sticking a nose in for a moment. Please bear with me.

First thing: I've been doing my best to keep up-to-date on the memorifying of fics posted here, but I'm well aware of the fact that I can make mistakes. And frequently do. If you notice anything memorified incorrectly and/or missing, etc. please let me know (e-mail: rhythmsextion@gmail.com) and I'll take care of it as soon as I can. Seriously, I'm an anal completist when it comes to this sort of thing and I know I miss things and it bugs the hell out of me, so give me a nice poking or something and I'll love you forever. Oh yes.

Secondly: I've been contemplating starting up a challenge community that's similiar to [livejournal.com profile] anothergrape except that it'd be operated bi-weekly, open to anyone and everyone in the community who's willing to participate and would not be judged, but instead merely stand as a way to get people inspired into writing the hot gay Irish man action. I brought this idea up with a few people recently and was pretty much persuaded into bringing it straight (heh) into [livejournal.com profile] u2slash instead of creating a whole new community.

However, before deciding on whether or not to go through with this, I'd like to see if anyone is really interested or not. I mean, I don't want to start up something that no one's gonna give a damn about, right?

So. My question to you all is...

[Poll #661620]


Please feel free to add a comment to this post if you have anything to add or input regarding this. I'm open to any and all suggestions and opinions.

Thanks, everyone!

"Anal completist?" You complete anally? heee

I always get all enthusiastic when there's a challenge community/new trend/thing, and then the person who came up with it gets tired of it after three posts, or the community never launches, or ... so it's hard not to feel less enthusiastic and more cynical with each one, you know? Despite the fact that each one is originated by a different person or persons, so it's really not fair. Um, I meant to say, I'll play.

I LOVE your icon.

No rLY!

I love that show too. Dammit for it being OVER! *tear*

Mmmmmmm yes.

Poor Mike. Tonight I was trying to explain the concept of looking at a hot guy and thinking "hmmm he really makes me wish I had a cock, just for a day." He totally wasn't getting it.

[identity profile] occula.livejournal.com 2006-01-28 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, absolutely. Plus, of course, nothing's necessarily going to run forever anyway. A nice reasonable stretch would be great as long as it goes. Just, you know, more than three or four, please? :-)

Right, he's like "but he has the cock, for you..." *giggle* But it's the same thing when I look at a guy and want to be another guy being taken by him. Basically, Mike doesn't understand why anyone would want to go near a guy. He thinks lesbians are brilliant.

Great icon.

[identity profile] occula.livejournal.com 2006-01-28 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
And of course if something's doing well and getting a lot of participation, the creator can more easily find help or a replacement if one should tire of having to be in charge, so that's good too. I could use a good kick in the ass push off a cliff bunny nudge.

[identity profile] occula.livejournal.com 2006-01-28 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Damn, it's *strike* and not *line*, isn't it? I use it so rarely that I forget and screw it up. See "kick in the ass."

We got onto this convo because Mike's dad just started dating a guy who's younger than Mike...I think he's younger than me. Anyway, Mike said he imagined his ass must be all young and tight and I said "Yours wasn't tight when you were that age." Poor Mike. ♥

And another! Are you the funny icon genie, or what?

[identity profile] alternatending.livejournal.com 2006-01-28 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I would have died to see Bono in an episode. Oh. Wow.

[identity profile] themegs.livejournal.com 2006-01-28 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
*ahem* Anyway. Yes. I want to play.
