[mod post] the start of a glorious new round 🌟 (a.k.a. new line up!)

[bluedreaming]

Hello everyone! Thank you for an excellent round, a fond farewell to those who are bowing out of this upcoming round, excited flapping at past shiritori-ers who are back again after a hiatus, and welcome to oneforyourfire and carpesoo who are joining us! I've already added your user tags (love ranger: oneforyourfire and love ranger: carpesoo). Please note that the first time you post, lj won't let you use your tag so just tag mousapelli or myself and we'll add it.

If you haven't yet, please do consult the shiritori guidelines, and if you have any questions, please tap your team captain or one of us.

Team captains cairistiona, faded_lace, mousapelli, bluedreaming, troubleseason and jojibear, you may start your teams off! Contact information for new members should be available on the latest sign up post (in the comments) and let one of us know if you have any difficulties.



Team four (led by myself) is the honorary "slow" team, with the writing period being five days instead of the standard three. Please note that this applies only to team four; all other teams as well as team sonic are keeping the three day standard!

With the announcement of a new round and line up, team sonic special is now officially closed, and either orangegreenlove or any current sonic members are welcome to begin the new sonic round.

Again, let us know if there are any difficulties and the sidebar will also be updated for reference! Happy writing!

-Team AM

Update: Explanations for Team Sonic and Team Sonic Special have been added to the official rules post for easy reference and clarification.

Do I need to use my ancient mod powers to wrangle out a Team 6?

(JFC we've already reached 6 teams?!)

[bluedreaming]

I'm pretty sure I created it already (*team six) and since you're equipped with ancient mod powers you'll be able to post to it with no trouble! ^^ (Believe it or not, we seriously considered creating a team seven as well since two of our teams currently have 7 members, but decided to be somewhat conservative in our estimations just in case several people end up going on hiatus during this writing period.)

[jojibear.livejournal.com]

That's probably a smart idea because no lie, I do not envision the team line-ups to stay this way in, say, five or so weeks' time

And thank you for creating the tag already so I don't end up potentially exploding anything with my crotchety old mod powers xD

[bluedreaming]

Yes I thought we should start slow ^^ I remember a few rounds ago where we'd had five teams then cut back to four so (nods head).

Frank the goat is very unobliging ^.~

Welcome to Team One, eoryndal! How would you like to be contacted when your turn comes? :)

Hi captain <3 Sorry for the late reply, school's keeping me quite busy.
I receive notification emails when my lj account is linked in posts, so that should be enough to tell me when it's my turn. And I stop by and check every now and then ^^

[bluedreaming]

it's usually easier to keep at least the captains on the same team to avoid confusion ^^ have fun with the new round!

TEAM ONE LETS GO!

Is there an official team sonic line up? Or anyone?

[bluedreaming]

It's in the sidebar but thanks for mentioning it! I've updated the screenshot of the team lineups to include sonic now as well. Sorry for the confusion!

random question but do the different colored usernames mean anything? :3c i like that i'm light blue >u

[bluedreaming]

oh! sorry for the delay-they very vaguely mean what people seem to be writing lately. Your two previously posted fics on shiritori are bts, so that's why you're blue ^^
