mod note!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted any admin stuff, but I have a couple of announcements.

First, welcome to all the newbies to Due South & C6D fandom! We're so glad you're here! \o/

Second, just for the record, ds_noticeboard welcomes anything and everything in the C6D purview. We always have, always will. All we ask is you tag your posts and LINK to fic rather than posting it directly to the comm.

The new thing: I think perhaps the rule against crossposting announcements of fic to ds_flashfiction and ds_snippets on the noticeboard has outlived its purpose. Back in 2005-06, when people were posting 4-10 stories every day, it made a lot of sense to ask people not to announce flashfic on the noticeboard, especially since most people in DS fandom had both communities friended. Now, traffic is low enough that I think announcing to the noticeboard would actually HELP ds_ff and ds_s get more readers.

So, if you're posting flashfic and snippets, please do feel free to announce your fic here!

Thanks!

(edited slightly for coherence. *g*)

Just fyi: link to ds_snippets has an extra letter.

Thanks for keeping the list going!

So should I stop doing flashfic round-ups, or do you want those too?

Depends entirely on you and whether people *do* actually announce their fic. I mean, if you feel like it's overly redundant, then I would say no. But if you feel like it would be good exposure, then I would say go for it. I hesitate to set any hard and fast rule for this because we don't know how it's going to go yet, you know? I mean, we don't want multiple announcements to hit the threshold where they're more annoying than useful, and yet we *do* want stories to be seen.

Which is a long-winded way of saying, "um, how about we play it by ear?" :D
