For Mods: Challenge Posts
Once the mod who is in charge of the week before you has closed their challenge, you are free to chose a challenge from the below list and make a post opening it. The subject line of your post should look like this: "Mod Post: Blank Challenge" (substituting "blank: for the challenge name).
Also, be sure to include a link to the rules on the community's info page and a link back to this post for challenge suggestions. And be sure to include a reminder that subject lines should look like, "Title by Author".
Seven days after you have opened your challenge, make a post closing it. If you will not be able to close the challenge on the seventh day, please contact the moderate in charge of the week after you and work something out with them.
For Mods: Memories Set Up
One of your duties during your week is to organize all challenge entries in the memories under the challenge name. Make sure to archive the challenge open post first, then archive each entry by title followed by author name (the subject line of each entry should be set up like this any way). check out sga_flashfic's memories for an example.
