Two Fannish Notes

For the Silmarillion junkies on my flist ...

*watches as 90% of flist looks up*

As many of you probably know by now, I have finished the Silmarillion Writers' Guild archive. It's still kind of unbelievable that it's finished. nelyo and I started kicking around the idea of a website almost two years ago, back when I thought it would never be possible

The website looks pretty good. Simple, clear, well defined, easy to navigate. I shall definitely consider posting something there. But first, a question: is it possible to participate in this site if you are, like me, someone who prefers the general public not to have access to her e-mail address? For instance, the private message system automatically displays the user's e-mail, and the review system requires that one be logged in. Does that show an e-mail as well?

[dawn_felagund]

The PM system only requires an email if you are the one sending the PM. So if I wanted to contact you via PM, you would see my email address. But I would not have access to yours. Of course, if you chose to reply to my PM, I would then have your email address.

Likewise, reviews and review replies are conducted without the author's email address. Notifications for both are sent via the moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org and not your email. You also do not have to receive either at your email, if you don't want to; this can be switched on and off via Account Info --> Edit Preferences.

So, in short, there is no way for someone to get access to your email address without some action from you, i.e. you send them a PM or reply to a PM that they have sent you.

I'm glad you think so. :) AMC brought me many happy hours of reading, and I wanted to give something back.

That is a perfect drawing for that scene! The moment where Maglor gives into the music, the wee! details (the necklace and pendant for example), his silky chocolate coloured stubborn hair...

[hrymfaxe]

Again I'm glad you like it! (Sorry Dawn I don't mean to take over your journal, but I'm tickled pink with joy, that people like the drawing :-)) I'm also pleased you noted the little details like the pendant and his hair, that will not stay in a braid. As I said above, AMC was just very inspiring to me, and I did my best to do justice to Dawn's ideas.

No worries ... I'm pleased that you're getting the comments here! I was going to email you or spam your LJ if you didn't, so you're saving me from having to make a pest of myself. ;)

Rhapsody has read AMC a couple of times, so I got a good giggle out of the fact that she noticed those details; I thought, if anyone would, she would! :^P

[rhapsody11]

Details are me, endless chatting with Dawn about said details and going like, w00t you 2? is the icing on the cake! Our verses are so different and yet it's a pleasure to dive into yours from time to time. ^_^

First off, congratulations!

Been there, looked around and joined :) And I think I will have plenty of time to read (no work for me for 3 weeks at least. More about it in my lj *sigh*) and I can get back to reading AMC too :D

Well done!

[dawn_felagund]

Oh, noes, are you okay? (I'll check LJ later.) *sends happy thoughts and cute Beleg* ;)

I saw that you joined ... awesome! Last I checked, there were 98 stories posted there, which is pretty amazing to me. Though it's been stuck at 98 for a few days. I might have to post two stories just to push it over to the magical 100 mark. :^P

Scratch that ... now 99! I saw that you posted there! *squee*

My reading list is growing and growing ... :^D

[binkaslibrary]

:D

Hmmm, hmmm *rummages through her HD archive* I might find something else to post :)

I'm really amazed at all the hard work you have put into the archive. What an awesome place for all Silm geeks to gather :)

I'm fairly okay, though I really hate the hard cast on my left leg *grrrrrr*

[dawn_felagund]

*blushes* Thank you, Juno ... wow, that means a lot to me! (And I squeed when I saw you joined and more when I saw you'd put up a story! I will definitely read it; I think I'll need some hardcore reading time once this move and other RL BS is over!)
