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 (
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.

I just did the first fanfic update and it was a monster. Hopefully I can get a system into place that won't be quite so time-consuming, LOL.

I just posted a catch-up newsletter from the last week, but I'll probably stick to the Sunday-evening update schedule.

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.

Go to the community's profile page and it'll be the second option in the upper right-hand corner. Just click "watch" and it will be added to your f-list :)

The only criteria I know of is that the writing be quality. Most of the authors on the watch list have won awards (which is how they got on the watch list to begin with, I suspect :P), but if there's someone out there whose work you love that you feel isn't getting the recognition they maybe deserve, drop us a line and we'll add them to our author alert list.

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

I don't guess you want to see your updates in the newsletter. by any chance?

I can't undertake something this massive without getting everything in order first. Literally.

I'm contemplating going through the results of the IYFG awards this time around and adding all those authors to the lists, if they aren't there already. We'll see if I still feel this ambitious once the voting actually closes, LOL.
