Let's Settle This.

[ruyu.livejournal.com]

Please comment and tell me whether you would prefer to post your fest fic in comments or as a individual post. I don't care which on you choose, this is all for the comfort of our members. 

Something to think about: Would you prefer to read the fics in a the comments or as individual posts. I would be linking each fic/comment thread to the original prompt so it can be easily found (if we did comment posts)

There has been confusion over this and I need some answers/clarification of what you guys want.

Thanks
Ruyu

If I was you I'd put a new post up on the first, and people can either leave their fic there in comments, or put them in new posts and just link if they prefer. There's not a problem with some being one way and some another, is there?

I don't think people will mind the posts on their flist, it's only going to be a few, and it's only a one off thing.

We can do both. I would just have to keep up with what's being posted so I properly link everything, which wouldn't be a problem.

So, everyone can either:
Post a comment, post a new entry, or post a link in the comments leading to the fic. How's that sound?

I really like that. We're a pretty small comm still, so it's not going to be too much to keep track of, and that way people can do whatever they're comfortable with.

Okay. On the due day, or the day before, I'll make a post with directions for how to post and re-list the prompts so I can link to them. Thanks for helping me decide this. XD

I like that plan, too.

I with jekesta on this one. I like the idea of having everything centrally located (with the whole having a certain prompt link to reply to), but after talking with people, I think maybe it could be an either/or thing. Like, if you prompt is short enough, post it in the comments, but if it's long, post it to the comm? Or so that everything gets revealed at the same time, send it to you and you'll post it to the comm?

[jekesta]

I think sending stuff to ruyu to post is a complication too far. Unless people want to be anonymous, then that would work. But otherwise, people can just post as soon as they can after the main post goes up? I know some people are going to be away at new year and not able to get there for a day or two.

I think a lot of people who make fic posts on the comm just have it linking back to their own journal (I know I do!). Could we have it so that everything is on the one festive fic post, either directly in the comments (for short fics and anon posters) or as a comment with a link back to the author's own journal? Hopefully that would work for most people as well as keeping all the fic together and prevent spamming people's flists? Just my £0.02... ;o)

I second that approach.

I prefer posting it to the community, mostly because i'm new to livejournal and finds it easier, ecpesially with long fics.

Craaaaap, I haven't started working on those yet.
/hides in shame

Individual post would be easier for me.

Don't worry, you've got a whole month. I haven't started mine either. XD
