Welcome!

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Can you believe we have 50 members in roughly 24 hours? Considering we've really only been advertised in a couple of places, I think that's pretty good.

I'd like to welcome laurtew as my co-mod. :D

We're going to be leaving the posts unmoderated as the majority of you have been in this fandom or other fandoms before and you should know large images, spoilers, or not work safe things should be under cuts or that fics should have a header of some sort with warnings if needed.

I've added quite a few tags for people to use and I'll probably be adding some more in the near future.

We have a nice header, a Sherlock moodtheme, and this community has a paid account for the next year.

Any questions, comments, or problems? Let us know.

Sensible and laid back? I LOVE THIS COMM ALREADY!

Thanks guys for using my header, I'm to the moon over it *squees*

I agree with Shezan, sensible and laid back, sounds brilliant and I'm glad to be here *G*

:::waves::: Happy to be here and I'm so excited to see all the creativity from this fandom!

[evila-elf.livejournal.com]

Wheeee!

[mementis.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the new digs! How marvelous of you guys to pick up the slack, and in such style and with such maturity, too :)

I have a question: because I'm a reader and not an author/artist, I tend to watch these sort of communities without joining them. Do you expect you'll have any content that'll me members-only, or should just watching the comm be OK? I can usually tell the answer to this with comms that have been around for a while, but since you're new, I thought I'd ask!

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Hi!

I think you'll probably be fine just watching the community, but since we are still new, I can't be 100% certain of this. Fics and things like that tend to be open for all.

[solrosan.livejournal.com]

Good initiative :D So excited about this!

[theanniemal.livejournal.com]

no question, just really happy to be a small part of this!

Hello and grand good luck to you and this fine comm. I'm going to post the URL on my Tumblr and Twitter, so hopefully that helps a wee bit with the advertising. And as you've *asked* for comments....well....

If you so kindly could avoid the mistakes of They Who Shall Not BE—oh screw it, if you could avoid the mistakes of SherlockBBC and keep rules and regulations 1) logical and 2) easy to locate on the comm I for one would be grateful. And when you feel the need to slap my hand for doing the wrong thing all I beg is kindness. Please. If you imitate the other comm in every respect but you are simply *kind* I think you'll have secured your place in the celestial chorus.

Thank you for starting this!

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Ah, here you are! How lovely you've united with folks of like mind. I look forward to a magnificent community!

[trillsabells.livejournal.com]

Hi there

Can I ask, are you going to keep going even if/when sherlockbbc comes back? Because a general comm alternative (as opposed to simply fic comm alternatives of which there are a few already) would be FABULOUS!

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

I don't plan on closing this community down at all. We have a paid account for a full year. :)

[kcscribbler]

So much love for a comm with mods that are not going to jump down my throat for 'warning' for kidfic, etc. Thank you for forming this, and thank you for not planning to close it down once the other comm is up. <3

BTW I've promoted this in my personal LJ, and as a mod over at watsons_woes you have my permission to promote it over there as well if you like.

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

thanks for modding this with killerweasel, we promise to be well behaved :)

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

:)

[laurtew.livejournal.com]

:::Laughs::: I can't promise I'll be well behaved, but at least we're going to have a lot of fun here. :) Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I'm very excited to be here.

[a-better-thing.livejournal.com]

Just want to say thank you for doing this :)

[sariagray.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Times some ridiculously exorbitant number. <3

[scandalbaby.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if you'd like to affiliate with wholockians, a Sherlock/Doctor Who crossover fandom community?

And I'm also off to join. This sounds like a wonderful comm you've created here.

[stupid-drawings.livejournal.com]

I am very excited this community exists.

[uwsannajane.livejournal.com]

Just delighted! Will announce on my own LJ (though my flist is tiny) and elsewhere.

[uwsannajane.livejournal.com]

BB, do you think you can persuade mirith to post here? And verityburns and arianedevere and anarion and ... ? Because that would get things going with a bang.

As it were.

[catnap99.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the new place! I have already decided I am not going back to that other "place"to read, so I need other sites. Looking foward to visting here often.

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not? I'll add that to the user info. :)

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Would you like your community to be listed as one of our affiliates?

[kcscribbler]

Sure, that would be lovely! We try to list most of the fic comms as affiliates of ours so any reverse publicity is very much appreciated. :) *is a horrible mod and never really bothers to cross-pollinate the fandom*

[ykyapril.livejournal.com]

Hi I have a question... Can we ask for beta help here too?

Thanks :)

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Sure. I just added a beta request tag for you. :)

[ykyapril.livejournal.com]

Ah thank you so much :)

Btw, seconding all the others up there, this looks like it's going to be a wonderful comm! :)

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Verity Burns and Ariane DeVere will indeed be (or already are) posting to your new comm! And Mirith will be soon as well. So will Anarion, Livia Carica, and Lucybun.

Believe me, just about everyone I know is anxious for a new, better community, so if folks haven't joined yet, they will soon as the rest of us sing your praises!

[uwsannajane.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, not my site! No credit whatsoever, of any kind, goes to me. I'm just cheering everyone on from the sidelines, in my usual intermittent fashion, enjoying what the mods are doing, and hoping that more and more of my favorite writers will post here.

[kylara.livejournal.com]

Hello! Would you like to affiliate with shwatchalongs?

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

sure. :)
