ADMIN POST the NTH: Post Secret Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Okay, so, that was like whoa.

Let's try this again.

Obviously, we didn't expect the wild enthusiasm for the postcard part of this, and we've just met to figure out how to not stop the fun while also not driving people crazy.

So here's what we came up with! We're splitting up!

Postcard responses to the Post Secret Challenge should now be posted to sga_post_secret community--this will allow those of us who nuts for them to friend the community, and others of us to just check in when they feel like it without having their friends' list disrupted. (YES, you may repost your responses from here to there; in fact, we encourage you; however, reposted entries must be marked REPOST in the subject line so that people who've been following along here don't see things they've already seen. Also please bundle your responses together in one post, rather than posting them all separately.) The rules we've established here also apply there: please cut tag, please try to give us some sense of how many images within and such, bunch up if at all possible. Try to be as courteous as possible. )

Fictional responses to the challenge--including fiction based on postcards--should be posted to sga_flashfic. If you have a postcard as a cover, or if a postcard inspired your story, please LINK to but do not post the image to the community. (i.e. So no < img src > tags.) Post the IMAGE to sga_post_secret.

We'll see how this works! Hopefully we can have the best of both worlds and please everyone!

Edited to add: Moderation is off, go back to normal!

Oooh, good solution!

Also, that thing you demanded more of has turned into a monster, and you owe me several hours of my life.

[lazigyrl.livejournal.com]

I love your icon.

[lemonbella.livejournal.com]

kinda sums things up, doesn't it?

[lazigyrl.livejournal.com]

To a T. Howver, best of intentions and all that definitely applies here.

[lazigyrl.livejournal.com]

A most excellent solution. Now hopefully I will be able to find some of my other friends posts without having to stop enjoying the postcards.

[eliabrith]

Oh good solution :) course that means I have to go join anther comm now....

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and BELIEVE ME, I hate that myself--but it's the only solution, and it's only temporary!

[eliabrith]

actually at this point i'm scared what my friends page will look like tomorrow morning UK time because at this rate.... ell i'll be spending ost of the day laughing my self silly probably hile alternatly being jealous and thankful that I don't have image software.

[flambeau.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

God, yes, thank you! That's a great solution.

[nestra.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was becoming a little overwhelming.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have to say...the overdose of postcards in my FList was starting to piss me off a little...even if they are all amazing...

[westdean.livejournal.com]

Thank you for saving my friends list. I've lost a day in this challenge somewhere but am loving every one and working on three of my own

[cyanne]

Thank you. You continue to amaze me with all the work you put into this community, with the creativity of the challenges that are set, and the phenomenal way you always manage to handle all of the weirdness that crops up. Not to mention the amazing fic of your own. You're the best.

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Thank you! This means a lot, especially on a day like today!

[g_shadowslayer]

Okay. Wasn't much of a bother since they were under cuts, but...

*sigh* *joins yet another comm*

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the "another community" thing blows, but hey, it's temporary, and better than the alternative!

[tonicollins.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Oh thank god... the response to this challenge was astronomical... eep!!

Plus - just a quick thaks for such a great comm!!

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

And by that I mean *thanks*

*slaps forehead*

[spike21.livejournal.com]

*excellent* solution. You guys get the Moderator's Medal of Smartness for this.

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Pin that on my coffin, willya?

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

My friends page and I thank you. (great solution!)

[kaneko.livejournal.com]

Like *whoa*.

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

*cough* Er, I know you do this sometimes, so um, I have an actual fic (with words and everything!) that is based on one of the postsecret cards and I was wondering if the challenge will still be (could still be?) open tomorrow night?

(The splitting of the lists was inspired - it kept my friendslist pure and still let me refresh at will for instant entertainment when I was snowed in.) :)

Thanks!

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

I DO do this sometimes, but actually, (and I'm sorry!) probably not this time. I'm off today and have to work the next three days in a row, so I might try to get the challenge closed later today--any chance you might be able to hurry it along?

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

No problem! It was done, just subject to really egregioius tense shifts, and my beta wasn't going to be available until tonight. Another friend has stepped in with an offer to beat it into shape, so if I make it in time, I make it in time, and if not, that's what the noticeboard is for. :)

Thanks!

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

GRR--and of course I didn't get to close it yesterday, and now I'm on my way to work. I'm really sorry: but sigh, yes, we're still open, and will be till at least tonight and very probably tomorrow.

[smittywing.livejournal.com]

*waves* S'all good! Fic has been beaten into submission posted and my brain is my own again - er, pretty much - until the next prompt. :)
