Important Announcement from your Friendly Neighborhood Mod!

Jun 01, 2009 11:13

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted a note, and I just wanted to go over a few things:)

First of all, I'm very proud to report that our community continues to thrive and to grow! I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of the new members who have joined us over the last couple of months and to thank all of our wonderful gen fic authors who have contributed their work for our enjoyment.

I'd also like to go over an important matter of business. I have noticed that an increasingly large number of our contributing authors have not been properly tagging their work when they post to the community. The tags are an invaluable organizational tool in terms of helping the readers of this community find stories to read that suit their interests as well as giving the authors who post here an opportunity to find more exposure to some of their less recent work.

Now for a while, I used to simply go in and add the appropriate tags to entries that the author neglected to tag. I'm afraid that while that system worked when our community was small, with the growth of our community it has simply become unrealistic for me to go in and tag the work of everyone who has been neglecting to do so lately.

As a result I have to ask all of our authors to please be sure to tag your fics when you post to this community. It only takes a moment to do, and will help to keep our community organized. Please tag the important character(s) featured in your story, the appropriate genre(s), and the rating of your fic. Also, if you are submitting a story for one of our challenges, it is extremely important for you to remember to use the appropriate challenge tag as well. If for some reason you need a tag for a character that is not already available, simply let me know and I will be happy to create it for you.

I'd also like to remind members that if you would like to search through the fics of a specific author here at hp_misfitfics that you can do so by visiting our memories section.

As always, I encourage you all to continue to support the growth of our community. If one of your friends has written a piece of gen fic, please encourage them to post it here. Banners are available to you should you wish to promote our community or any of our Challenges of the Month at any time.

Thank you to all of you for continuing to make hp_misfitfics such a wonderful community, and I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful gen fic that is still to come!

Sincerely,
star54kar
