Dammit people.
16 July 2008 08:33 pmThe next person to post only a link to a previously-posted story on the drabble meme in response to a prompt is getting the comment deleted.
The point is to encourage people to write NEW stuff, not just repost old stuff. Here's what's cool to do:
1) Post a drabble response to a prompt.
2) Post a drabble response to a prompt, and somewhere in the reply say something like, "But I really like this fic too!"
3) Wait til I post the fics at the end and reply, "I liked this fic as a potential response to Prompt X!" in case whoever wrote the prompt didn't realize there was already a good fic for it out there.
Not cool:
1) Just posting a link. Seriously. Stop.

Date: 2008-07-17 06:18 am (UTC)We just want to let you know that none of the maintainers of that comm (which consist of only a handful of people whom you mostly know) posted that link ^^; We feel bad after seeing it and just thought we need to let you know. We don't know who did it, so the best thing we could do is hope that nothing like this will happen again >.<
