ds_noticeboard | ADMIN POST : On Topic Posts (Reply)

heuradys asked me to clarify the Noticeboard policy on non-DS news and links and I sent her a whole long answer before thinking, duh, I really should post that information here. So here goes, (and I'll pop this into memories as well.)

The

ds_noticeboard, like the

dsreporter before it, has always been a place for news, recs, and stories pertinent to DS and the DS Universe. This includes not only announcements about the cast in their new projects (PG in Slings and Arrows, for instance, or CKR in Wilby Wonderful) but also stories in fandoms in which the cast are regulars: so HCL, Twitch City, Men With Brooms, MLaaD, and related fandoms. We also welcome news stories about any of the regular cast members; the goal, really, is to post important info about the broader DS universe. I suppose there's such a thing as 'too far', but I haven't seen it yet, and I'd probably err on the broad side (I know you're shocked.)*g* I'd rather know that Beau Starr was in something than not, and I'd rather have to say, 'No non-CKR HL stories here' than miss an excellent HL/HCL crossover. *g*

So please, do keep posting links if you spot David Marciano in a guest appearance, or pictures of Camilla Scott on Broadway, etc. Also, please do post things that you have good reason to believe would be of interest to DS fans--that includes fiction in related fandoms as well as their crossovers. (I'd hate to think that we wouldn't get notice of a good HCL/Tales of The City crossover, for instance) and recs to related fannish sites.

***The closest thing to an anomaly we have in our system is the posting of links and info about Hugh Dillon qua Hugh Dillon (as opposed to links about the character of Joe Dick) and I'm gonna go out on a limb here as Admin of this Community and say that DS_Noticeboard is Officially a "Friend of Hugh." (F.O.H.) I am hereby adopting HD as "on topic" for Noticeboard because he is a) an artist who's contributed to the Due South soundtrack, b) an actor not only in HCL but in Twitch City, c) the subject of more RPS than I could shake a stick at, were I inclined to shake a stick at RPS, which sorry, I'm not and d)--you know, if we don't take him, who will?

ADMIN over and out!
