there are several parks and recreation fics at the new comm pandr_leslieann

Alright; I'll add those. Sorry; I just work off of the girlwatch watch list, and I don't think that comm is added yet. :( I'll remember to look there in the future, though!

Thanks for the heads up, dear!

ack! I totally forgot to mention to you and the other newbie archivist! girlwatch is actually defunct right now - the watch list journal we're using is girl_reader. don't worry about it for this post, but make sure to switch to it for your next update.

sorry I suck!

eep. that explains some things. *glomps Hope*

any chance of adding fleetloveslaura to it? (posted the Laura/Tory chapter there today.) I would do it myself, since I have the password, but I don't have time right now. I get to go see Metric in concert tonight :D and tomorrow I do some more retro-tagging :)

Yeah the girlwatch list seems to be missing the naomi_x_emily comm too. Is there anyway you can add those as well (I'm sure I'm getting annoying because I keep making this request.) Thanks!

naomi_x_emily has been on the watch list for ages, and is in fact where most of the Skins content we cover is picked up from.

if things are being missed from that community, it's most likely because people do not include pairing information in the headers to their stories. our archivists come with different fannish backgrounds and are not necessarily familiar with every fandom we cover - when you're scanning through 600 hundred posts to put together an update you don't always have time to check which community something was posted to in order to see if it's relevant to our newsletter.

if you are worried about things not making the newsletter, you should consider making a post to naomi_x_emily encouraging writers/artists/etc. to include pairing information in their post - if you don't feel comfortable doing that, you could also pm the community moderators and mention that encouraging that practice would help keep things from being missed by f_t. and if you notice specific stories/posts not making it onto the newsletter, you should feel free to link them in

Yeah, I know it's been covered in the past, but each time a new group of archivists start, it seems to get missed the first couple of times. I'll make sure I make a post about it in the naomi_x_emily comm (or I'll message a mod) so people start including the pairing in the header. Sorry for any inconvenience, by the way. I know I've posted about this before, I just seem to have a dangerous obsession with making sure this fandom is represented (it really quite concerns me actually). Thanks for all your help though!!!

Though, just for the record, naomi_x_emily doesn't seem to be popping up on the girl-reader list I'm looking at. Maybe it's just me, though?

er. now that I'm logged into the correct journal:

it's not listed on the "communities/journals being watched" post at girl_reader, but if you check the journal's info page you'll see that it is one of the communities being watched.

and definitely don't worry - without concerned citizens like you, a lot of stuff would never come to the attention of f_t archivists and mods. we're (slowly) working on ways to make things like reporting new communities that need to be watched easier, but for right now commenting to newsletter posts about stuff is the best way to get it noticed.
