Sooooo excited about this.
Ohhh, that was nice. Thanks for reccing!
*Giles/Faith shipper sheepishly raises hand*
It's the comic's fault. That one Brian K. Vaughan arc sucked me in, and now I just love the whole idea of them.
One more thing: I would really love the ability to open the full contents of a post from my dashboard. There's the capability to comment on a post from the dashboard, but I don't know why I would ever do that if I can't even read the post that I would be commenting to!
Lacking that, I wish the dashboard view wouldn't smush all the formatting of the post. If the post begins with several short lines followed by line breaks, the dashboard view mushes them all together in one unreadable paragraph.
Awww, Principal Flutie. Snyder is such a great character to hate, and I wouldn't have foregone that for anything, but still I will forever be sad that we lost Flutie to ravenous cannibalistic hyena-possessed teenagers so soon.
That seems like it'd be really hard, since Imzy would have to give you the option to exclude any tag from any community you follow - which might be quite a lot of each! But you CAN exclude tags from a comm's home page.
I want to especially agree with your 7. Being able to follow a link without clinking into the page itself would be great. Currently this site just has so much more clicking than I really want to have to do, and it's worse because it feels unnecessary.
Related, I would also like the option to be able to see the full text of a post in my feed, rather than having to click on it, or at least the option of opening the full text in the feed.
YES. That would help a lot.
Right, exactly. Such a setting doesn't suddenly mean people won't come to Imzy - after all, a huge wave of people from my corner of the Internet have already come to Imzy, when it's in closed beta and all the content is users-locked. It just keeps users another measure of control. And in my experience, measures of control are key to appealing to the long-term Internet denizens, the kind of people that build communities.
Will this also involve the ability for leaders to add tags from within the new post page? Because that would be great.
Especially since pagination is apparently a no-go. If we can't have pagination, having more tags is vital.
(NB: I still am really hoping for pagination.)
I'm not sure this is something you can implement in five weeks, but as a community leader I would really like to have some kind of flat chronological view of all recent comments posted to my comm. I don't get any kind of notification of comments made to posts made by people other than me unless I follow those posts, and it'd be so easy for harassment to happen in one of those posts without me seeing it. I'd need someone to tell me. So this seems like a really important anti-harassment tool.
(Honestly I think it'd be a great tool to have available to everyone, not just comm leaders - it'd make it so much easier to keep track of what's happening in a comm, even on older posts.)
The other, easier suggestion is that you make the little profile suggestion box non-transparent. Currently at the beginning of a comment it looks like this:

And I keep trying to click the X that isn't part of the box at all! It's the X for deleting the drafted comment! It took me so long to figure out that wasn't just a button that wasn't functioning properly.
That was delightful. I'm so intrigued as to why collecting mermaids' songs is so strictly a lady's pastime.
Ohhhh, this is so sweet and lovely. It captures what I love about this canon: sharing wildly different experiences with one another and finding commonality in them. And what a great concrete image to hang them onto in this drabble.
Wow, a drabble AND a rhyming poem? I am so impressed. And a fun, rollicking poem it is!
Ha ha, this is delightful. Time for a tactical retreat and provisions run!
Yay, I'm glad to hear you're promoting it. If the comm got going, it'd motivate me to read more short fiction than I do, which would be GREAT.
Best of luck!
I would be fine with commenting on each story. Or either, really. OTOH a discussion post would make it clear that discussion is welcome!
The other thing I'd suggest is promotion! It is such a tiny little comm right now, and I think it'd be more fun with more people. So I guess advertise on ffa and such places?
So I guess I'm just curious as to what your vision is for the comm and how you want people to interact with it. Personally, I would love if people came and discussed the stories that you link, but I'm not sure that's what you have in mind? If it were, though, I'd make an effort to read a few and share my thoughts! I'd love to have a place to talk to people about genre short fiction.
Do you mean Sarah Blake?
I'm not sure if this is quite what you're after, but fly by Askance is gen SPN and the creepiest fic I have read in a LONG time. Beware bugs, though, and some other stuff - I can tell you more about the content if you need me to.
Counterfeit and Counterpart is a Maria+Natasha friendship fic from Maria's POV, but it has lots of good Natasha in it. I really enjoyed the evolution of their friendship.
+1
I need that old compressed view back. This one is so visually distracting. The "type of text" part on the left takes up so much space, and the parts that I actually want to read, ie the text, is squished and small. :(
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I don't even know how I actually feel about this news. It's just that EEEEEEEEEEEEE is my response to basically any news of the GotG crew.
This movie delights me so much. I'm glad you're posting recs for it, as I've never really gone looking for fic.
The behind the scenes story goes that there was a love interest written for Angel in earlier drafts of the film, but when they decided not to keep her, they ended up giving many of her lines to Danny.
I HAD NO IDEA. This makes me so happy. Also, I've seen this movie at least four times, and never caught that Tony was supposed to be Angel's superior - or at least, it never stuck. Nor did I realize Angel's ex was Cate Blanchett!
