Welcome!

Welcome, dear friends, to The Collar Corner. What is The Collar Corner, you ask? Simply put, it's the home of the all-gen comment ficathon. Each month there will be a post. You comment with a story request, then sit back and wait as various authors answer that request. Simple as that :D

YAY.

So happy to see this new com!

This is just what I wanted to see. Many, many thanks! I certainly don't mind reading in the existing rooms--love lots of the stories--but I can't see myself writing some of them. I want a place to write to, and maybe this is it!

I'm not sure what's going on, or even if there's anything that can be done about it, but when I visit the main page of the community it says there's 51 comments on the first prompt post (as of 7:34Pm - Eastern USA - Wednesday) - but when I go to the post itself it says there's only 47...

Are some comments being screened? Or is something up with LJ?

And the problem seems to have fixed itself... must have been a LJ bug.

Wow! Thanks you! That's exactly what this fandom needs...

Questions:
Is is allowed to post a link to the story written instead of writing the story in the comments (I find this a little bit akward)
Do prompts (or answers) have to be anonymus?
Is it allowed to point out stories which happen to fit a prompt?

I am so sorry! I kept forgetting I had this post so never checked it. I imagine that by this time that the first two questions have already been answered according to how things have been going.

As for the last question... hmmm. I would have to say no since the reason for this comm is to generate new stories. And since we don't know what has been read by the requester and what hasn't, it wouldn't be fair to them if the story you pointed out was one they'd already read. It also runs the risk of the requester getting the same story rec'd to them over and over again (it can be hard to keep track of what's already been rec'd). However, if you happen to write a story answering the request, and would like to include a small rec list of similar stories and their links at the end of your fic, that would be fine. As long as the the requester gets a brand new story based on their request, then it's all good.

Ah, thanks for the answer (and I hope, you caught the opossum).

[kriadydragon]

Little snot's still eluding us. Now we have another opossum stealing the cat's food on the front porch :P

[swanpride]

Not really a question, more a suggestion: It's becoming really difficult to keep track of all the prompts and the stories written for them. How about a masterlist of fics?

[kriadydragon]

Oi, I keep meaning to do that but I keep forgetting to :P Thank you for the reminder.
