Due South Flashfiction Community

Go in peace, sisters; the Forgiveness challenge has endeth with 12 entries, which you can find here.

Special Admin Note: I'm delighted that we seem to have some new members, but could you guys please remember to put "by [writing name]" in the subject line of your post? I really appreciate it; it helps me out a lot.

New challenge coming right up!

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.

Okay, this is modelled on the wednesday100 and the ff_friday models for Smallville and Firefly. Please contribute Due South snippets ranging from: 100 to 1000 words, and we'll follow the example of our predecessors by declaring that you have seven days to respond to specific challenges. In other words, a week from whatever day of the week the challenge is posted, ok?

All ratings, all pairings, and any and all Rays you care to mention are welcome!

P.S. Please suggest ideas for challenges in the comments section of previous challenges!
