Hi there,
I was browsing the LJ community and I'm a bit confused on how things run here. There seems to be a comment fic, which people fill. There also seemed to be Prompts and claiming for the h/c challenge back in 2010.I see that some of the prompts has been claimed. If the person who claimed the prompt and that they wrote something for it, would the link be under "prompt is here" , under the author's name, or just tagged elsewhere? As i was browsing through the claimed prompts, there seemed to be alot of unfilled but claimed prompts, or that i'm not looking where I'm supposed. Thanks.

Hi!

So, I'm new here and I filled some prompts on the comment fic meme that's under the "current" link and none of the ones I've filled have been added to the Master list. Could I please be added to that list? I'm still new to the messaging system here so this is the only place I could come to to ask for help.

Thanks!

Hello!

I'm not new to LJ as such, but I'm new to posting fanfiction on here. So, I'm sorry if this has been asked before -- I'm in a bit of a hurry right now, but I just wanted to know -- is it compulsory to tag a deathfic? Wouldn't that be a major spoiler?


Thank you! :)

Just wondering if it would be okay to post a request for a beta reader here? I'm writing a very Sam-centric fic for the SPNJ2 BigBang that also features lots and lots of Sam being hurt, so it fits the comm's guidelines for posting. Am hoping that a fellow Sam lover will be interested in helping me out as I'm having trouble finding a beta through other comms.

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I am currently helping to advertise this year's rendition of the spn_summergen fan fiction exchange, and I wondered if it would be okay to advertise it here. It's been the progenitor of a lot of really lovely hurt!Sam in the past, and since a lot of H/C in general often tends to be gen, I thought maybe members here might be interested in continuing that trend, haha. (I'd of course put a little note explaining this/the exchange's potential connection to hurt!Sam in the ad post.) Thanks for your time! :)

Hey! I've only recently joined LJ. I'm not new to fanfic, but I'm definitely new to posting on here. I've only been posting on FF until now.
I was wondering about how to be able to post to comms here. Like, I recently wrote a hurt!Sam fic for the spn-summergen challenge here on LJ a while ago. If it's okay, I'd like to share it to this comm but I'm confused as to how to post it on here.

Like, is it like posting in your own journal itself? Or not?

This may have probably been asked before, so sorry if I missed that. I'm still getting used to LJ.

I would really appreciate some help! :)

Thanks!

Prompt claiming

[phenar-21.livejournal.com]

I'm new to the whole prompt claiming thing, but I'm very excited about some of the prompts for the most recent challenge and want to be able to get my dibs in quick. Is there a particular procedure for that? Do you just reply to the prompt on the master list saying you've claimed it? Sorry, if this is obvious, I'm a bit ditzy on LJ yet, it and I aren't seeing eye to eye quite yet. Thanks!

Hi! Is there an ohjess community or something similar? I'm new to writing SPN fics, so I'm still a little lost in finding communities.

Hi! I've heard about recent LJ TOS changes getting people concerned. In light of this, just wondering if you guys have any plans to move over to DW or anywhere else in the future?
