Rules Update
Hi everyone. The recent poll on some of our rules is now closed. And now that lj is up and running again, I can finally post the results. Thanks for everyone who participated. These are the new rules and changes that are a result of this poll.
- With 70 above 58 votes it has been decided that there will be a limit to 4thing, 5thing etc. This means if you see that a prompt is seconded and thirded please do not continue this row.
- With 108 above 12 votes it has been decided that there will be some freeze periods.
- With 80 above 24 votes it has been decided that there will be a week's break between every round in which, however, fills can continue for all previous rounds.
These rules stand as of today.
I would also like to remind everyone to stay anonymous on the meme posts at all times, prompting and filling. As of today, all non-anonymous comments will from now on be deleted without warning.
And, as this issue has been recently brought to my attention, a note on constructive criticism.
If you insist on critiquing someone's story, here's some good, easy guidelines:
Bad, non-constructive criticism: "Your formatting sucks. Do it differently."
Guidelines for good constructive criticism:
1. Post about what you liked about the story.
2. Politely state what you didn't like as much.
3. Make a suggestion how you think it would have been better.
I will now go and amend all these rules on the meme posts.
