Hey Army! And hi to any new members.

o1. I'll be taking over the remix. How's everyone going with it? Would you like me to screen submissions and then stagger the posting of remixes over December? Remember the deadline is December 5th. Comment, comment, コメントをして！！

o2. it's a little late for a Christmas one, so how about some kind of New Years

I kind of like the idea of everyone being equal as a maintainer, but I guess then we'd need to do something like voting on new members. I don't think there should necessarily be a distinction between core people who started in the comm and people who joined later, as long as they fit in with what the comm was originally created for. It does make sense to only have one main journal per person as a moderator even if we do all stay as moderators though.

I prefer things being equal & open (in fact this is the only community I've ever joined that has a sort of moderated membership, because I'm ideologically opposed to that sort of thing), but I just don't think that we need 33 maintainers.

I agree...I don't see why there should be a distinction (I haven't been here since the very beginning...) but
as long as they fit in with what the comm was originally created for.
^ I think that the comm has been operating outside of the original idea since I've been here? I remember when I was making the userinfo, someone clued me in that when it was created people were too busy for it, or something, so we ended up just filling in the gaps. So honestly I don't know if anything I've done for this comm fits with the original idea because I'm still not sure what the original idea was...D:

And um yeah....I wasn't the one who made my ficjournal a mod lol.

Yeah, we don't need that many maintainers, definitely XD And I guess there isn't really a power difference if anyone who wants to be a maintainer can be one, but I just like the idea of all of us being trusted to be an equal member of the community, so I don't want maintainer-status to be something which divides us. As long as that doesn't happen, well yeah, we don't need that many XD I don't have an issue with things being neat or anything but I guess if it bugs you guys then fair enough.

Okay, not necessarily originally created for but what it is, which is a community for good writers who write j-fic, who are looking for a bit of a challenge maybe and who accept each other's differences.

I was originally invited with my ficjournal, but it does make sense for it to be de-maintainered since I mostly use this one for actual communication.

hehehehe don't get me started on power! you'll have me pulling out the Foucault ;P but what i do is...tagging, layout, profile, memories...stuff like that. it's more..necessary than powerful. like being a janitor >.>;;;;

:)

Oh yeah, I know. It's just normal for the maintainers to be the only people in charge of the community, and I don't want that to become the case.
