Your friendly neighbourhood mod is back!

This is eventually going to be an FAQ post. Only, as of right now, there aren't any FAQs. So go ahead and ask questions, and we will do our best to answer them. We will then compile the likely-looking questions into an FAQ, and continue answering the others as they crop up.

Have at it!

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!

There are numerous comment fics that have run since the comm started. If someone fills a prompt, they usually post either the fic itself or a link to it as a reply to the comment itself. All the fills are included in the master list in the post itself, unless the fill was made a very long time after, in which case the post may not be updated.

As for the h/c challenges, the fills are posted separately to the community with the appropriate tag. There is also a master list for each challenge which you can consult.

Also, there are indeed a lot of claimed but unfilled prompts. It is, alas, the nature of such challenges that some people find themselves unable to finish a story for a variety of reasons.

I hope that answers your question!
