OK, something we need to think about: Do we need to limit the membership to 18+ only? Considering the nature of the stories and info that will be shared, it might be a good idea. Lemme know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Hmmmm, interesting, but also a little weird. I could go either way I guess. But it does seem like we then become the community for other pairings while they are the B/J community which is the most common pairing (no?). On the other hand seems kinda shitty to be in competition. I guess I would rather join forces as one or go our own way and sink or swim. Honestly though I really am flexible with all this, I have no interest in stepping on any toes and I would just like to see some people find a good person to work with.

What do you think about the whole thing?

I agree with you on that. We may not get a lot of work as B/J is the most popular pairing. But I do think there are enough people out there that we could do OK. Brian/Michael is another huge fanbase, we could draw from. Since they have started this up, I think it would be beneficial to join forces for the benefit of all. :-D LOL

Like i said that is fine with me. We won't stop doing B/J stuff right? Cause i don't mind M/brian or ben, but it isn't really my thing. So i guess i am asking will they expect us to send B/J stuff their way? or will be do both? and how is our affiliation with them beneficial if we do both. I get how it helps us cause they send us stuff that isn't b/j... I guess just for my own personal use i am more interested in b/j and i would hate for us to stop doing it... lots of rambling tonight lol.

I don't think we'd stop doing B/J, either. At least, I hope they don't expect us to do that! LOL. Anyway, we could just not mention that fact and then just see how it goes. I'll wait to see what crazy4qaf says and if we're all in agreement, I'll update tomorrow to a Friends Only 18+ community.

Sounds good. One unrelated thought, maybe we could ask writers who successfully find a beta on our site to give us some sort of credit or pimp us on their site to help our community get more exposure... we could make it clear that it is optionally and only meant to help more people find us.

Oo! Excellent idea. :-)

Thanks! OK well i'm off for now, but i will check back tomorrow to see what crazy4qaf thinks about all of this. Also I feel like you are getting stuck with most of the work on this project so if there is something more i can do to help please let me know. As i have said i am new at all this for the most part and i'm not sure how i can help - though i imagine there will be more to be done as the community gets established (?). Anyway thanks for all you have done.
