Late. And an almost-drabble (324 words). Because apparently being challenged to write porn prevents me from writing porn. Sigh.

ADMIN POST: Policy Clarification

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

For the record, DS_Flashfiction does not have a beta requirement; you may post stories in whatever state you wish. However, feedback is not required to be positive, either, and if you post an unbetaed, unspellchecked or otherwise messy story, I think people are within their rights to say what they like about it, anonymous or not (though not is rather more respectable, no?)

HOWEVER. I've decided I do have an issue about off-topic posts. ds_flashfiction is a community for DS fiction, specifically challenge responses. I have let the occasional OT post in, mainly requests for betas, and I now fear that this has given the impression that posting of a non-fictional kind is allowed. It isn't. I'm the only one who gets to post non-fictionally here, and even then, only on topics of direct import to the community.

Under the circumstances, however, I think that requests for betas ought to continue to be permitted.

So here's the skinny: from now on, all posts must be either challenge responses of the usual sort, or requests for beta, which should be short and to the point.

If you want to talk about Due South, please go to ds_discourse. If you want to talk about writing issues, please try ds_writers. If you want to talk about the state of your own life, please take it to your own livejournal. Members of this community want to read about Benton Fraser & Co., not you.

So from this point on, I will be deleting all OT posts.

(This post will be put into memories for future reference.)

Speranza over and out.

The Pornography Challenge has come to an end, so to speak. You can find the 19 challenge responses here.

A new challenge will be posted tomorrow morning.

ADMIN POST: The Footwear Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Feets, don't fail me now! This one comes as a suggestion from LauraKaye, who suggested that we take a look downward and have ourselves a footwear challenge.

The object of the game here is to write a story that in some way describes, turns upon, focuses or features the footwear of the various characters. Obviously, much has been made about Fraser's boots, but even Fraser's been spotted wearing sneakers and mukluks and hiking boots and such, so everyone think outside the shoebox, ok?

It's Friday morning by my watch--stories are due next Friday before midnight.

This just ... came to me. 787 words, and very, very silly.
