EMAILS: The mod understands concerns about participants giving out their email addresses in unscreened sign-up posts and later being spammed due to spam bots finding them. To resolve this issue, I have come up with three options:
1) When typing your email address in the sign-up post, we'd like you to use this type of format: USERNAME [AT] GMAIL [DOT] COM
2) Send this form to KHBigBangMod [AT] Gmail [DOT] com, including your livejournal screen name
3) Or send this form in a PM to
zenelly And remember, once you have a sign-up form posted, friend this community! (And if you're not going to be an author, feel free to watch this community either here or
