Essay posting begins on Monday, August 23, so I just wanted to take a moment to go over a couple of things.

1. Use the following format when posting:

Subject Line: Pairing/'Ship (Fandom)
Title:
Author:
Spoilers: if applicable
Email: Optional
Personal Website: Optional
Your essay behind an lj-cut

2. Flaming will not be tolerated; if you have concrit, feel free to leave it. This project is all about the sharing and pimping and the squee, not a "my 'ship is better than yours" deal. Please respect one another.


If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at ship.manifesto@gmail.com .

...but what if my ship really is better than yours?

*runs*

My ship brings all the boys to the yard. And they're like, 'it's better than yours'.

....

Shoot me now.

I don't know why I'm worrying about this when I don't even think it's scheduled yet but...oh well! In the Vash/Wolfwood ship there are kind of two levels of spoilers: the minor and the HOO BOY. I was thinking of talking a little about the HOO BOY spoilers but putting them in background colored text so people could highlight and read if they wanted to. Would that work? Would that work on everyone's browser or do some people force text color when they read (is that even possible in a comm, once you're past the lj-cut)?

Oh dear. I appear to have deleted your Helpful Email about the stuff what needs to be in this essay dealie. Don't suppose you could re-send me the details, maybe? *apologises profusely* catwoman @ merseymail.com

oy my poor head is swimming.

Anyone have suggestions on where the heck to start first?

[powercorrupts.livejournal.com]

Hey, just curious about something - I thought I saw somewhere not to use spoilers, but I can't find that now, so I'm just wondering about that. I'd considered writing one, but the truth is, I honestly think that there's no way in heck it could be done without spoiling plenty of things for the game in question, and I was just wondering if that was a rule or not...? /rambling stupidly

[spren-cious.livejournal.com]

You can use spoilers, but I think most people avoid them, so as not to ruin someone else's experience should they be interested in checking out the show after the essay.

But it's really up to each contributor. I just request that the writer indicate whether he/she has included them in their header when they post.

[mod-journal.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that. You're all set now.

[dotiscute.livejournal.com]

Hey, my post was due today, but I don't seem to have posting acess yet.

[dotiscute.livejournal.com]

Hm.. it says I'm a member and yet... *leaves community and re-joins* Ah ha! Done and done!

sorry about that.
