An incredibly, incredibly infamous sailor moon lemon fic. Needless to say this is NSFW. Although I still recommend megane 6/7's msting of it



 
 
Due to mitigating circumstances (hello not!swine flu!) we are extending the deadline for accepting newsletter editor applications until Monday, Nov. 16. We also wanted to take the opportunity to give a short primer on how we create the newsletter in case there are individuals who are interested in applying but are hesitant because they don't know the process.

As an editor, your job is to scan the newsletter watchlist - [info]whodaily- for items that qualify for inclusion in the newsletter. The watchlist is a dummy LJ that has friends list comprised of individuals and communities who participate in fandom. Each link is then dropped into its appropriate category on the newsletter. There are several ways in which to actually construct the newsletter and each editor has their own preference. Some brave souls hand-code and create an lj post, others use a template and client approach, typically a saved Semagic file. In addition, there is an Excel spreadsheet created by a former editor with macros built in so you can merely copy and paste and let Excel generate the format.

What items you link are based on criteria set forth in the editor guidelines. We are an inclusive newsletter and link fic, discussion, art, icons, etc. Our criteria for linking are broad and only call in "editorial prerogative" in rare cases, typically when a fic header does not contain enough information to create a link or if an post is not substantive. For example - an episode reaction consisting simply of "I loved it!" would probably not get linked while an episode reaction with more substance would.

As an editor you will become a member of the editorial community [info]satellite_five where we come together to discuss issues and concerns and, on occasion, effect policy. All editors, regardless of status, have full participation rights at the community.

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at scarlettagain@gmail.com. If you would like to apply for an editor position, leave a comment at this post.

Thank you!

I didn't post any comment about Remembrance Sunday yesterday, simply because I couldn't find the words. But my thoughts were with those who had given their lives, as they will be again this Wednesday.

Well, I'm back in Belfast now, my parents helped me move some more things down. Place really does feel like a home away from home. Just back from seeing "An Education". While I wouldn't go as far on the praise as some critics have, I did really enjoy it, and would agree with many that Carey Mulligan's performance was great.

Also relieved to find payment had gone through to the electric company and that account is now closed, so that is me completely finished with my old place. Done and dusted.

Well, back to work tomorrow. Night all.

[info]who_daily and [info]torchwood_three are looking for new editors, both regular and back-up. Read all about it here (TW) or here (WD).

Do you have a Doctor Who community or a journal that we are not currently linking to? Leave a note in the comments and we'll add you to the [info]who_daily reading list.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Because of the high posting volume and the quantity of information linked in each newsletter, [info]who_daily will no longer link fanfiction that does not have a header. For an example of what a "good" fanfic header is, see the user info. Please note, the fic must have a header with the fic, not just in the link post, in order to be added to the newsletter. Thank you.

Note: If your fic hasn't been linked, it's probably because there wasn't enough information in the header. The best way to get your fic linked in the newsletter is to use a header indicating characters or pairing and ratings (ratings are your friend). Spoiler warnings would also be a bonus. If you’d like your fic linked, please leave a comment.
