Ok first of all, I suck because I turned off submissions completely. This is the second time I've made that mistake, hence the suckage. Anyway, that aside, you can all add new fics.

Also, 30 members!! Awesome!

Thanks for all the feedback on the categories and genres. I've started building a tentative idea for each, but it's gonna need some work. You can select which category you want your fic to appear in, then you can select multiple genres for it to be related to. This is really helpful with searches, because say I'm looking for a future fic with angst where Pam and Jim get drunk, I can do that! So while the categories may seem more general, assoicating the genres will narrow it down more specifically. But, keep with the feedback, I'm pretty flexible and very clueless with this stuff.

I'm pretty much happy to add anyone who offered to help as admin. But what I need to know before I go on, is do we want to have each and every story require validation before it's posted? This will be great for the quality of the archive, but it could become annoying if the submitted fics aren't reviewed and approved quickly enough. I think we'd need at least 6-10 people just to review submitted fics, so that the process is done quickly. I think I have four or five people so far who have offered to do non techie stuff, and this would be the non techie stuff I'd like you to do if we stick with the review process.

So we need to decide- yes or no to validating all submissions?

nomadshan, I don't think you offered, but would you be willing to come on board to create and maintain the categories and genres? I pretty much used ALL of your suggestions and you did say you loved sorting stuff!
