State of the Community I

[skieswideopen]

Popping my head in to say hello and welcome!

I've been playing around with the community description, and before I carve it into stone, I'm wondering what you all would like to see on this community? Fanfic and art and icons, of course, but what else? Do you want to be notified of challenges and ficathons that are likely to feature John/Cam pairings (like sg_rarepairings)? Do you want to hear about unclaimed John/Cam prompts at various challenges? Do you want general Ben Browder or Joe Flanigan news? Or would you prefer content to be a little more restricted? And is there anything else you'd like to see in the community profile?

A second issue: tags. What kinds of tags would be useful to you? Right now, I have a bunch of "type" tags: fic, fanmix, video, art, discussion, etc. Would you like any others? Author tags? Word count tags? Rating tags so that you can find the smut quickly?

Finally, if anyone has artistic or layout skills that they feel like using for making the community prettier, please let me know!

(Oh, and if anyone wants to play co-mod, let me know that too.)

I can't post, think it's because I'm not really a DW person? Layouts do seem like LJ's ~ once folks have decided which header, I'll put a layout up on my reading page so you can see it and copy the CSS code for you. It seems to be working ok with the exception of the image, but I also think that's because I'm not really a DW person.

I hope my comment doesn't make anything explode. These should be thumbnails, click to see the full-sized image.

Beautiful! Thank you! My favourite is the first one, although that picture of Cam in the second one is hilarious! Anyway, I'll put up a post and see what people think.

The lack of comment editing is annoying, eh? I might have to spring for a paid account here just for that.

(And if I had an extra invite code, I'd give it to you just for this. Maybe you'll win the invite lottery soon? Or I think all the registered OpenIDs will get codes on April 30th.)
