This is stuff from the mod queue and my inbox. I really love that you guys submit posts and links, and I really hate that giant red "reject" button, but I think it's better to try and round up links in news posts than fill up the f-lists of a couple thousand people (!!) with small chunks of info.

Going on what _branch_ , above said, maybe something like OpenPress, OpenPrint, OpenWord, OpenLetter or OpenJournal. *shrugs* Dunno if any of those would be good ideas or not.

I like the idea of telling people I'm on OJ.

Re: Open Something?

[train_diskense]

*snickers* That would be brilliant.
Me: Catch ya on OJ!

Friends: O_O?!?!?

Re: Open Something?

[train_diskense]

Yeah, it does, doesn't it? :) I've thought about it and become sort of fond of it.

[ex_drakyn]

What about OpenInk?
Or something with Shodo in it? According to wikipedia, shodo means "the way of writing" and basically means calligraphy.

[jissa]

I second the OpenInk suggestion - particularly since I notice that domain is for sale!

[train_diskense]

Ohhh that has possibilities too. I like that.

Hmm. OpenShodo? 'Open the way of writing' *giggles at suggestion*

OpenInk is appealing.

[ex_drakyn]

Oh yeah, Shodo is Japanese, which may appeal to some parts of fandom. ^.^

Love openpress or openprint; actually most of what you and _branch_ came up with I like :)

[train_diskense]

:) The idea of using the word 'Open' in the new site's name is just infinitely appealing to me now. 'Fan' would be nice, but might put off any non-fen, and I don't like the idea of that.

And thanks for the love.
