Hi, everyone. We have a problem. I was getting ready to post a new story when I discovered that commenting here is effectively broken for me. I use the same custom journal style for the community as I do for my personal journal, and I can't read comments here or there. While I assume live journal people can load comments by using using style=mine, ( Read more... )

It has occurred to me-somewhat belatedly-that there may be people in this community interested in another community I'm helping out with during the month of October: xf_is_love, aka The X-Files is Love Month.

Since today is the fourth anniversary of the creation of xf_book_club by our illustrious founder, emily_shore, I thought a brief post in its honor was in order. Yes, we will be returning you to our regularly scheduled programming shortly.

Recently we’ve had a couple of requests for a more reader-friendly filing system for the book club, something that would make the discussion pages for fics we’ve read in past years easier to find. The original suggestion was for us to tag each fic by author. Sadly, this would have been difficult to arrange. But I agree that we could use a more ( Read more... )
