Mod Post - Rules

Hi all,

A quick reminder to you all - fics posted to the comm should have a 'beta' line in the header, where you thank your beta or just note you didn't use one. We do encourage authors to use a beta, and the comm maintains a beta list here. If you're quite new to ficcing, or haven't used a beta before, you can find a comm discussion post on betas and what they do here

Also, please be aware of our spamming policy - we have rules on posting frequency which can be found here. If you tend to write frequent, bite-size pieces, we ask you either save them up for a couple of days, or post them in your journal and then make a round-up post to the comm.

Thanks for your co-operation, guys!

Yeah, I totally see your quandary. :-)

I only saw the light with regard to Steve/Tony in particular, and Marvel in general, about six months ago -- I'd always been a DC girl previously. I love this comm, and I'm sincere in my praise of the mod team, I think you're doing a great job, far better than those of many other comms I've been a member of.

Personally, this comm's low-traffic enough that the badfic doesn't bother me hugely. I either skip it based on summary -- amazing how much you can tell -- or read it for the lulz if I'm at a loose end. It's totally different to comms where there are thirty or forty posts a day and I grind my teeth wishing a mod would put us all out of our misery. That said, the spam and abuse policies are great, it's only the beta one that bothered me. A minuscule fly in my ointment, to be sure. :-D
