Hi guys! It's Beck here, your friendly neighbourhood mod/owner/overlord. Me and my adorable co-mod,
witchling, are busy organising all of the Boys of Summer fest assignments (so exciting!) but before we get those out we have another item of business to get out of the way.
I'm sure by now most of you have heard of all the shenanigans going on in the GK fandom. I'm not really going to address those here, but it raised another issue - that of locking down all the fanfiction in this comm.
we_pimpin has always been an open community, with all content accessible, but now it's been proposed that we lock the fic to members only. Considering that we're pretty much entirely a fic comm, though, that would mean closing down everything.
Already, former mod and Fall Fest runner
schlicky has gone through and locked all content related to the Fest.
witchling and I are talking about doing the same with everything else, but we wanted your imput first.
What are your thoughts? Do you want to continue as an open community, or does that freak you out a little? Would you be happy with everything being locked up? Does it really matter? How was your weekend?
We'll leave this open for a few days to gauge opinion, and then
witchling and I will make a decision. Always I want to do what's best for the comm and the fandom, and I'll be keeping that in mind while figuring this out.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
Beck
