Lest people click and find the boykissing upsetting, I should note that the first part is Willow-Xander friendship and the second part is Oz/Xander mackage.

Good point. Though secretly I think they ought to just hmmm, not find that upsetting. But that is childish, so emending I go.

I commented on the girl who asked, but just so everyone knows:

Secret Slasha (http://www.dymphna.net/secretslash/) will start its fourth year on November 1st. No earlier.

'cause, damnit, I refuse to start with Christmas before Halloween has passed. It's just plain wrong.

Cool, will add a link to the post.

Uhm, where do I point out New RPG's? Can I do that in this post? Because then I'd like to point out several.

tea_for_three Buffy, Spike, Wesley get sucked into an alternate dimension. (Set after 'Judgment' (NC17 - Het/Slash)

books_and_boots Wesley/Lindsey (Set after "Tomorrow" (R - Slash)

dodging_la Wesley/Lilah (Set after "Herbeas Corpses" (NC17 - Het)

gave_you_grace Wesley/Faith (Set after "Shells" (NC17 - Het)

pylean_journey Wesley/Angel (Stranded in Pylea (NC17 - Slash)

Let me know if it's okay to post them's here. Thanks! ;-)

Links in the comments is fine, I'm not back up until next Friday, but I'll make a note of them and pass on the information.

Ta! :)

Did these ever get into the Herald? We've started several new threads but I haven't seen them up yet? Or was there something wrong with the RPG's?

[dodyskin.livejournal.com]

I passed on the links to the other editors. What goes in on their days is at their discretion. With the size of the fandom we couldn't, and would not want to, link to everything that is posted.

Personally, I don't keep up with the RPGs particularly. I try to link to ones that are being followed by the Herald for continuity's sake; and if I see something that seems interesting I might link it on my day, but that's about it for me.

I spend several hours trawling various flists to try and make a balanced and interesting entry. What I perceive to be a balanced and interesting entry does not feature twelve RPGs, which is essentially what would happen if I linked all of them.

From the FAQs:

12. ... don't expect to automatically get put on the update list. There are a wide variety of tastes within the small groups of editors so you'll get some opinions. But we can't read everything, and we won't try. We are normal people with jobs and some of us try for social lives also.

I hope this clears up any questions. Thanks for the links; I genuinely appreciate them but I do not feel bound to include them.
