Admin Post: [mod post] new line ups

[bluedreaming]

Note: If you’re a new person who has stumbled across this post/community, please see the latest reshuffle/sign up post to sign up!

Welcome to everyone who's participating this round, and best wishes to those who are stepping out. This is the tl;dr version of my usually massive new line ups post; you can explore older posts in the tag for an idea of what those looked like.

If you're new, you can consult the full rules (always the most recent post, ignoring the pinned post). However, the short version of the rules on the comm profile is probably the most handy reference.

Of course, if you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask Mousi (on shiritori, remousapelli or email) or Ansa (on shiritori or email). You can also reach the mods in general by email. I'll also remind everyone that we do have the shiritori/sonic shiritori collections on Ao3. More information about those can be found on the collection pages. We also have a Twitter account writetomyheart that tweets all posts unless they're comm-locked. I do try to monitor this Twitter, but the above contact methods are best. shiritori also has a #shiritori-timeline channel, that unites all (unlocked) posts.

We're trying out using shiritori, so we're figuring out how this will all work. Please do be in contact with your captain or the mods if you have any questions. However, shiritori is completely optional and the LJ and DW comms will mirror each other (and if they don't, please poke Ansa to import).

Here are the new lineups; I'll post this on DW and get the lineups on the sidebars and the #posting-order channel on shiritori soon.

• For standard teams, the write or skip period is three days, except for the slow team which is five days.
• Anyone is allowed to jump in and play sonic, as long as you pay attention to the three-day expiry date for each sonic story. The team list is a role (@teamsonic) on shiritori that notifies you that there's a new post (depending on your discord notification settings), and being on the team is also a very low-pressure way of indicating that you plan to try to participate in/restart sonic.
• New writer tags have been created and initialized (these are the "love ranger: [username]" tags). If you would like your tag to be changed, please let us know.
• Quick reminder that we have specific fandom tags as well as general fandom tags. If there isn’t a specific fandom tag, but you expect to write it frequently, please let us know and we’ll be happy to make it. However, we prefer not to make a tag for every one-off fandom, since we do have the general fandom tags which work well. A general guideline is a new fandom tag at ~10 posts.

• This comm continues to be exported (manually) from the LiveJournal community, writetomyheart. Dreamwidth participants will post on Dreamwidth, and (pending on your particular team's decisions) the captain will create a quick placeholder post on LiveJournal as part of the poking the next writer process. We also have a single participant who is currently only on shiritori. They will post to the #shiritori-timeline channel.
• A quick reminder/update about titles/headers: when posting, please title your post with the team name (i.e. [team one]) before the (optional) title. In the past, we've generally included the characters/fandom, rating, word count, and any potential warnings in the cut tag text. However, with more use of the RSS, let's try to include this information (a single line is fine) above the cut. An example would be: "Peter/Thomas (Rivers of London); PG; 450 words; violence".
• For posting directly to discord (if that applies to you--if you are posting on LJ or DW don't do this, since the post is automatically imported), please include the above information, as well as mention (@teamone) your team, include a link to the fic, and include the final sentence.
• If you are posting to LJ or DW but have your fic elsewhere (i.e. Ao3), please include your fic in the shiritori/sonic shiritori collection and also include the final sentence (as above for discord posting).

Thank you to our captains! Please assume that everyone needs to be poked unless they tell you otherwise. If you would find it helpful to set up a reminder trigger that notifies you via a contact method that you'd find helpful, I'd be happy to help. I have also shared I have also shared the contact information spreadsheet with you.

I think that’s it, but if we’ve missed anything, please let us know. You’re welcome to comment here with any questions, other comments, and/or problems, or contact us directly. As a reminder, please contact us if any of your contact information has changed.

And with that, team captains mousapelli, thesecretdoor, yrindor, and bluedreaming, you are welcome to start your groups off with the words of your choosing. If someone would like to start sonic off, that would be great too.
