Just a heads up for everyone, some of the submissions aren't making it to my email box.  I think what's happening is that the people who have been doing submissions for awhile aren't getting the names off the fresh list, so the newcomers aren't getting copied on their stories.

Hopefully we create a solution that fixes this. 

Silk, I haven't seen you online.  You want to msg me when you can?

If you guys come up with something new, when will it go into effect?

Er, I mean, so we have more time to write.  ::)

I'm talking with stridera and things are moving along very nicely. We also have www.readingexcuses.com, which is pretty sweet.

It'll get there :P

One of these days I'll try and get an ad to appear on Writing Excuses for us. That'd be cool.

Did we end up sending that email to get rid of inactive members? Because if not, we should hold off on it until we get the new list set up. That way the email can just consist of instructions to get a person on the list ;)

No, I didn't send out an email yet, this being precisely why. :P

Yikes!  I guess I should have read this before sending out that email.  My bad.

And, why the hate, Flo!  I bought the domain at lunch and got it setup by dinner!  Isn't that quick enough? :P

So yea, the domain has been created and I made a list [email protected].  I was actually coming here to make sure people received it, but I guess we might have a different path to take.  I'll let Silk decide the path.  She'll have full admin access to the list once she pings me again.  Either way, if you're on the list and you didn't get the email I sent (check spam folder) let me know.

Other things, if anyone wants a readingexcuses.com email address, msg me (via im/pm/email) and ask for one.  Everyone might want to take advantage of this since it will give access to the docs/calendar/sites as well.  I'm not sure if we'll use them, but if nothing else, the email is cool enough. :)

I put up a little filler website for now.  If anyone is artsy and wants to create the images/design for the site, let me know!  Otherwise, enjoy.

And remember, if nothing else, at least now you only have to remember one email address! ;)

Give me admin access, too :P

I at least got the email. I can send off a more official email, I suppose. How would people opt out of the list, or how can we remove people from the list? (Feel free to PM me with the answer, it's bed time for me)
