Mod business

A few announcements so gather around!

zippitgood suggested that we would start tagging the entries by author too. We mods liked the idea and will go through with it. I will start adding authors to the tagging list from today. It would be appreciated if you could go back and tag your own entries. We do realize that at least for some that means going through quite a few entries. If it gets really boring at work I might do some extra tagging *g*

Small edit: It seems I need to use the tag once to get it to show on the list as public and not just to me. I will try to go through some of the entries so that all the tags become visible

Other subject. There have been some questions about a standard subject line and now we thought we would go through with that too. Below you can see an example subject line c_woodhaven came up with. This cannot really be done retroactively unless you want to go through all your own entries but could you please use this subject from now on?

Prompt# - PromptText - Title - Author - fandom

61 - Arctophile - My Love of Bears - c_woodhaven - Buffy

If you have any questions or comments they are more than welcome. We'll answer the best we can!

Question.

Can we choose the name we are tagged by or do it ourselves? This is an issue for me because I want all my work tagged under the name "Catw00man" not "darkjeff_dv."

[piksa.livejournal.com]

Can well do that. no problem. I'm just adding the tags to the list but it seems I need to use them at least once for them to show on the list so it might take a while but will just add the catw00man tag there for you.

I'll happily tag my own entries. It's always a slow day at school.

Question: For the subject lines, if your story is part of a series, is it okay to substitute the series title for the fandom? I have a series that is a crossover of at least four different fandoms, and I really don't think you want me to list them all every time. Or would you rather series titles be excluded from the subject lines and just put in the headers instead?

[piksa.livejournal.com]

Or you could just put crossover there. That is what it is going under in the memories. it would then make it easier for the person who's doing the memories when she can see it right away that it is a crossover. Would that work for you?

Awesome! Sounds like a plan!

Bit of info for those panicking over the effort of tagging everything. If you use Semagic you can tag entries without actually having to change much.

Just go to "File", "View History" and find your posts. You might have to click on each day to view the post for them though (at least I do). Once you've selected your post, click "edit" If you don't have it set up to edit in main window click on "View Post Options", the tagging spot is in there. Select your tag, click okay, click okay again on edit window and viola, that post is done. You can change the subject lines too.

Hope that helps anyone.

Thanks for the tip! Very useful indeed.

Unfortunately doesn't help me since Semagic is only for Windows, I think. I have Mac at home and on my work computer I can't install anything. I just have to do it the hard way *g*

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

I can't tag my older stuff since comments were disabled. I'll start doing it now though, but guys, keep it simple, okay? All these new hoops are just..new hoops.

[piksa.livejournal.com]

Our intention isn't to make things difficult for people. We'll try to keep it simple. Thanks!

Hmm. I'll try and remember this stuff.

Have you put it in the bio with the other stuff? Because I always get the whole : Title:
Fandom:
Prompt:
Warnings:
Rating:
Summary: from there and then it'd all be in one place and you don't have to go all over the place to find things you need to do to post an entry.

:)

Okay. :D

That's great. :D
