The weekly update

[piksa.livejournal.com]

It's me again. This time I'm even relatively on time, it's still Sunday! *g*

We had a good week. Once more we had some new writers joining our ranks, some people returning but unfortunately we didn't survive without losses this week either.

First of all a warm welcome to the community to banyangirl1832 and taintedintent!

Secondly we are happy to see blood_monster, jitkajaylor, sevendeadlyfun and strickens_girl back. Welcome back guys!

Unfortunately we lost the following authors this week. blue_icy_rose who got the Calliope award, dawnofme who got the Clio award and twisted_reach who got the Clio award as well. Hope to see you back soon!

Hi mods.

I had a question/comment and since I didn't see a question/comment post I figured I'd just go to the last mod post So here I am. :)

Anyway, this was a question I've had for awhile but after this week I didn't really feel I could sit on it any longer. This has to do with the deadline for getting fics in. I know sometimes it's difficult to get things done and sometimes we have computers that can go wonky or we are out of town or whatever but to be honest...I thought that was part of the challenge. I guess my question is, what exactly is the "grace period?" Is it a few minutes, hours? I know we have lots of time zones here so I do not expect the mods to be watching for the exact second or anything and that we should be able to go on the honor method. It's just when I see something 10 hours over the deadline that I have to ask, what exactly is the deadline? Is it really fair to just lie and change the date when it's that late?

Anyway, I just wanted to know. I know I've been out spoken at times and that's just because I do feel this is one of the harder writing comms out there and that to actually hold the title "Goddess" is and honor and something to be proud of. Thanks for listening!
