Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.

Calling all beta readers! And a few other Mod points

Hey everyone, how's your weekend going? It's wet and wild over here in Auckland right now, and I should be doing a million other things, but why do all of those when 1_million_words is calling out so loudly to me? I'm even ignoring the grumpy husband who clearly thinks I'm very lazy

( So, who needs a beta? Who betas? Who'd like to beta? Anyone up for joining the newest comm list? )

In other mod news, I have been through every entry in the comm today and added tags where there were none. I've added a couple of new tags and I've renamed a couple just to keep them in line with our other tags. There aren't too many of them altogether, but they are useful for helping us find posts that may be of use or that we want to refer back to.

So can I just remind everyone to please tag your entry if you are posting in the comm from now on.

If you aren't sure what tag to use, have a look at the list and choose one that seems relevant. if nothing seems right, use either 'help!' or 'thinky-thoughts', or if you really believe the tag will be useful again, please feel free to suggest a new one! We're open-minded here and in fact I now want to add 'kinky thoughts' to tags, just because I can!, so don't be afraid!

Oh, and a few suggestions re the new ones I created which are: 'creation: fic' and 'creation: image'. These are for when you post about a fic or image you've created. Please use them whether it's a link to elsewhere or it's directly posted here; I didn't want to make too many, hence one only for each type at this point. Also, if your creation is inspired by or in response to a challenge or regular feature here, please use the appropriate tag on it in addition to the creation tag (eg: 2 tags - 'creation: fic', 'weekend: challenge' or 'creation: fic', 'daily: word of the day').

Now... anything else? Do you have any questions for your mods today?

And I finish by saying you are all amazing! I can't believe how well we've done in only four months! We've far surpassed what kaige68 and I imagined when we she started this little comm. Keep it up, everyone, for you are the best and we are both so very proud of you!
