ADMIN: RULES POST
>> monroe_nell and I are the mods. This isn't a threat or anything, just . . . telling you so you know.
>> Rules are pretty loose, actually. This isn't really a formal challenge; there won't be prompts handed out or anything, although monroe_nell has posted some ideas here.
>> The tentative cutoff date for posting things is March 18, because that's when I go on spring break and will have time to put together a finished product. If the flow of writing seems to slow down sooner, or is still going steady at that point, I will adjust.
My ultimate goal is to take everything that's been written, stick it into some formatting programs, and come out with either a webpage or a PDF that looks like an actual newspaper.
>> The focus is meant to be investigative journalism-- our intrepid tabloid reporters are trying to figure out whether Fraser does, in fact, exist. So that's the kind of thing we're especially looking for, here: exposes, letters to the editor, op-eds, and the like. But zellieh wants to be Turnbull and write a Home Ec kind of column, and that's good too. Long as it's due South related.
>> WITH ONE EXCEPTION. This is the only thing I'm going to be anal about, so please:
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE PAIRING-SPECIFIC. There's been mention of "ten reasons" lists arguing for F/V or F/K, and I don't mind that, as long as it stays speculative. What I don't want to see is something offering concrete evidence for a specific pairing. This is going to be written by a bunch of different people who are into different ships, but it needs to be more or less internally consistent, which means that-- however much I'd love to-- I am not going to write a letter of complaint because I saw a Mountie and a cop doing something obscene in an alley last night. You get the idea.
>> Also: I have never modded anything before. If I get heavy-handed, or anything remotely like it, tell me so. My life goal is to be an even laxer mod than my good friends at inuvikdotcom, and that will be DIFFICULT. Help me.
That is all, as far as I can tell right now.
