Sengoku Jidai Times - the fandom LJ newsletter

I have a fair mix of people on my f-list, I think, oldsters and newbies alike to the fandom. As some of you may already be aware, we have a fandom newsletter that's published weekly here at LJ. For those of you who don't know, it is the Sengoku Jidai Times ([livejournal.com profile] sengoku_times).

I've just taken over as the fanfiction editor, and I'm trying to get everything organized, LOL. I just made a plea post at the comm, but I wanted to get as much input as possible - I'd like for the newsletter to cover the variety of the fandom, not necessarily just the parts I'm interested in ;) So please, take a look, and give me some feedback (there, not here), especially on the authors' watch list.

If you don't already watch the community, you should! We cover art, fic, icons, and awards, so there's a little something for everyone.

Look at you, all organized and stuff!
I'm jealous!

You know, I've heard about this newsletter a couple of times, but had no clue where it was. I didn't realize it was an lj thing. What is the authors' watch list? (Obviously, I need to go look at this. *grins sheepishly*)

*sigh* Gotta fess up to being a dunce: I couldn't find a "watch this community" option. How do I do that?

And are you asking for suggestions of other authors for the newsletter to watch? What kind of criteria do you have for that? I was rather surprised to see my name on the list there since my writing is 95% crossovers.

Okay, that was odd. When I went there this time, I saw it right away. It was practically under my name just under my browser on the left. I suppose I'll have to add half-blind to my list of faults. ^_^

I think I already sent in all my suggestions before Skye left... I'll do some digging and see if I can find anything else.

Also, seconding the jealousy of your organizational prowess. :P

I've only been able to find one more suggestion, so I'll send that through. She doesn't write much, but what she does post is always top-notch. Any preference as to whether I send the link for her ff.net profile or her fic journal? (Unfortunately, they have differing content... -facepalm-)



[identity profile] eggplantlady.livejournal.com 2009-05-27 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Will do. And I'll prod her to keep her account there updated in the future. XD

[identity profile] eggplantlady.livejournal.com 2009-05-28 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Her fic journal's actually over at [livejournal.com profile] pixie_false... I think just about everything at her main journal is locked.

I would hope that she's used to me sneaking around, trying to get more publicity for her fic by now... LOL

That sounds like quite an undertaking. I wish you luck if you choose to attempt it.

you can have ravyn add fic journals to the watch account. They do personal watches too so when fics are updated on fic journals, you'll see them

yes, it is. i started out i had like 6 coms to watch. it was easy. now...i just don't have the manhours available to do it anymore lol. It feels weird though as i've been doing it for about a year.

I put your suggestions into the system already. they're not on the original list that was posted, but they're being watched :) that actually sounds kind of stalkerish lol

[identity profile] eggplantlady.livejournal.com 2009-05-27 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I was pretty sure you got them, since they've been showing up in the newsletter posts. :D
