Spam Has Fangirls Too!

IMPORTANT NOTICE

splinter_mods — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 03:14:53 GMT

Have decided to try and start this comm up again. Since it's been so long, and not everyone was very active when I was posting prompts, I want to start with a clean slate in regards to characters.

To be fair to everyone, though, I will be giving you each first-dibs on the characters you currently have in the comm.

If you have any intention of staying, please email splinter.mods@gmail.com and let me know.

If you want to pull out, please email splinter.mods@gmail.com and let me know.

IMPORTANT: If I receive no email from you, it will be assumed that you are withdrawing and your character willl be opened up to the general public, to be given to the first applicant. If you're are removed in this fashion and wish to be re-added you will be required to re-fill out the application form.

The DEADLINE for contacting me will be 11:59pm on March 14th, 2009.

I look forward to hearing from you, and even moreso looking forward to getting the ball rolling again!

What Do You Guys Think?

splinter_mods — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 20:54:48 GMT

I've been noticing a decline in the amount of useful spam going around, while at the same time realizing that I have a backlog of 'word of the day' emails, which got me to pondering making a writing community that had a week or two weeks worth of words of the day as prompts (complete with definitions, even!). It's probably been done, or is being done right now in other forms, but there's lots and lots of words out there, and you can't get any more random than 'word of the day' emails.

But then I thought, why make a new comm, when I had this perfect little gem here?

So, my question to you is this: Would you mind a switch from email spam to a list of single words as prompts? We can most definitely toss in spam prompts as bonus prompts every month or so if you'd like, too. Possibilities abound, my friends. Let's toss some ideas out there.

New, Special Tag

splinter_mods — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 15:37:08 GMT

Hey guys!

After (this wonderful response) from kingcreevey, I've decided to add a special tag for those that manage to get all the prompts into one fic.

So if you manage to accomplish this particular feat, feel free to use the ("all-prompt" tag) in addition to your usual tag so those who are curious can see who's listed among the ranks of authors who've done it.

Keep up the great writing, folks!

Removing Jack

innuendocaptain — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 14:00:35 GMT

I'm going to be removing Jack from splinters_say because he's far too serious and emo at the moment to write fun responses to spam prompts. He's still in thelyricalmuses and licenseartistic where he can be as moody as he damned well pleases.

It's been fun, and I'll still be around, because I'm currently writing Peter Petrelli (although he's moody and emo, too...) and am contemplating bringing John Sheppard to the mix. HE will be very well suited to crackfic spam prompts, and I think he will be the best choice :D

Need to Fangirl...

Okay, these last few weeks I've been reading the reps that have been posted to the comm and I have to seriously Fangirl kingcreevey.

Awesome, awesome fics which had me giggling like mad as I read them.

If you haven't already, I suggest you take a read through ( Dennis Creevey's reps ).

Hello!

splinter_mods — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 21:28:48 GMT

Okay, as folks probably know by now, management has changed hands in regards to splinters_say. To make it easier on everyone, the only thing that's really changing is the fact that prompts will be posted twice a month instead of once a week.

Just a couple of things:

1) If you have any comments, suggestions or ideas on how to improve splinters_say, please drop an email to splinter.mods@gmail.com. I'm always open to new things, so don't be shy!

2) Please double check the newly updated Character/Writer List.

If your character/name/fandom/pairing is not on this list and should be, please email splinter.mods@gmail.com with the relevant info and it will be added as soon as possible.

3) Make sure all your entries are properly tagged, so we can easily find you when it's time to check up on activity within the group.

4) That being said, if you no longer wish to be a part of Splintered Sayings, then please let me know so I can update the List and take you off.

We'll be starting fresh with new prompts the first week of February, so you all have the next week or so left to slack off!

Amazing...

I'm not overly fond of the River/Jayne pairing, and in no way do I ship them at all.

This fact makes it truly amazing then, that I would see fit to proclaim the awesomeness of this post.
It's Rated R for content, so be warned.

New Prompts and a Question

analise — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:45:27 GMT

Go here.

Yes, #7 is the Nigerian Bank Scam (some form of it, anyway), and it is a bonus. ;)

There's also a question on that post I'd like for you guys to give me your opinion on.

My turn!

lt_wes_janson — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 02:45:31 GMT

Okay, anyone who can get all the various challenges into one story, needs a serious fangirl.

So my hat's off to omegasquad. :)

Tribute

the_darkest_fae — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:18:37 GMT

I wanted to say that from what I've read, we have some very talented writers here and this community was made of pure genius on Ana's part. This will be a blast to keep writing for and keep it up guys.

FANGIRLING

Okay, since this comm was requested by me in a roundabout way, I'll begin.

Go read THIS RESPONSE by our dear lt_wes_janson.

Dia, you are brilliant. If Aaron had to name a successor, it would be you, hands down.

Welcome!

analise — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 14:48:17 GMT

Fangirls, start your engines!

Yeah, I got nothing.
