A very quick and rather small update to add to yesterday's.
As anyone who has submitted a story to the site will know, I'm terribly behind at the moment. Fortunately, although I still haven't won the lottery and freed myself from a life of toil and drudgery at work, I have enlisted the help of textfiend to assist on the archiving front. So while she's taking care of the community backlog, I should be able to tackle the direct submissions and get them up to date. It won't happen over night, so please be patient, but hopefully this means a much faster turn over of fics in future.
It depends on how things go, but I might try the little and often approach to updates that worked so well last year. We'll see. In the meantime, if anyone happens to have a crystal ball and can predict this week's lottery numbers, be sure and pass them along ::grin::
Rather than post a request for more submissions for a particular fandom or pairing, today I'd like to request that you all do your bit to spread the word about the upcoming event. If you have a friend who's into femslash, tell them about it, if you belong to a community or group dedicated to femslash, tell them about it. If your cat looks the slightest bit intrigued... well, tell him or her if you like, but it's probably not a good idea to suggest they sign up to pledge their support or wear one of the banners. Although, a cat sporting an IDF banner would be a sight to see.
As many of you will already know, South of Nowhere has been cancelled, but as good fans we don't intend to go out without a fight. So check out the above link to see how you can participate and have your voice heard. For those of you on MySpace there's also: www.myspace.com/savespashleycom.
Good news for fans of Women's Murder Club as fears that the show had been cancelled were laid to rest, at least for the time being. New episodes are expected in April but to ensure we get a second season, viewing figures will need to rise. So get all your friends watching.

Etiquette of Archiving
Before a story, graphic or video is archived/posted to a website, group, community or YouTube, you MUST receive the permission of the author. This refers to both the original and translated copies of material. If an author does not give permission, does not answer the request for permission or is no longer contactable, you DO NOT archive or post their work.
Archiving without permission is disrespectful to the author and all the time and energy they have put into their work. The desire to spread the femslash love is understandable and, if asked, the majority of people will give permission to archive, but the choice MUST always be theirs.
If we can't respect each other's wishes, who will?
I'd like to welcome seven new creators to the site, so a hello and howdy to spheeris1, baby.capri.1990, Mammothluv, Dane, Fayne, Jade and Inspector Boxer... it's great to have you aboard.
