30shards | Quesions post.

Slightly off subject but I was still curious as I dind't see it in the rules.
I'm thinking about starting a new IY Fic community *With actual prizes* but I wanted to get the idea out there first to see if anyone would be intrested. The details can be found in my LJ (http://www.livejournal.com/users/darkelf19/) - The question is would I be allowed to advertise the idea here?

I think it's a wacky idea, and sounds pretty fun. Would you mind if I steal the idea of assigning characters for

iyfic_contest?

Yes, feel free to advertise it in one of your shard posts. Also at

hanyou_tales, and at

iyfic_contest in an entry.

Best of luck with it!

:) I hope that means you'd be willing to join then? As for the idea of assigning characters - do you mean to do a whole tournament thing or just the regular contest with assigned characters?

I mean for 1 week's contest, not an entire tournament.

Dunno if I'd join, I'm pressed to stretch my attention span/time around the stuff I'm already doing :)

*pouts*

and yes that'd be fine.

PS: Myouga's a brat. >P

I see. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't worry - I haven't given up yet.

...but I see you've made a post to publicize your new comm at

dark_inu, but it's not contained within a fic post as I said it should be a few comments ago (points up). It's also clearly stated in the rules found on the comm's user info page.

If you'd like to add to your post an icon or story, or link to a story you've written that fits

dark_inu's purvue (or even just rec one), that would fix everything. Otherwise, I'm going to have to ask you to delete your post. It's not fair to the comm's members-- they didn't join to be spammed, you know? Gotta make the post worth their while :)

Thanks for your understanding, I appreciate it :)

Sorry - there was a misunderstanding. I thought you meant I could post at darkinu withou needing a story as well. As you can see I already deleated the post. Again I apoligize for my mistake. I'm not trying to upset anyone or spam my community *which I decided to delete anyways* I hope I haven't offended anyone.
Also, I'm going to have to give up Myouga - I really just can't come up with anything for him. If it's allowed, maybe I'll try again in the future when the muse returns.
No hard feelings I hope.

Oh, no problem at all! I hope I didn't make you feel bad, that wasn't my intent, just to let you know :)

Sorry to decided against the comm, it sounded like it could be interesting.

Also sorry to hear about Myouga, give it some time, maybe the muse will come back?

No, you didn't make me feel bad. :) It was my mistake. I still like the idea for the community but I'm going to wait on it for a while - I recieved a few nasty e-mails and...well I don't need the BS. As for Myouga I'll keep trying, but if someone else comes along and wants him, feel free to give him away.

Nasty? How so?

One of them claimed I was trying to "buy friends", another said I was tyring to force people to write smut *since I said all ratings/paiorings were accepted*....just crap like that. :(
They forget that I'd have been paying for this out of my pocket! It wasn't to "buy friends", it was to encourage good fan fiction. I buy books from Walden Books, Barnes and Nobles, ect, all the time - why not shell out for some really great fan fanfiction? The whole idea was to present authors with a fun, challeging contest with a nice reward at the end - like any real contest.
I guess they missed that.

I totally did not get a "buying friends" vibe from the idea, nor did I get any sort of "smut yay" agenda, just acceptance of all ratings. It's pretty weird how far these people had to stretch to come to those conclusions. I'm impressed. Not in the good way.

I'm constantly amazed at just how assholey people can be. And have you noticed that some people will go out of their way to be upset/offended/hurt over something? Sheesh.

LOL Believe me I know exactly what you mean!
And I'm glad that at least one person understood the real idea.
