I have to agree that flooding is inconsiderate. I've only posted around ten fics, but I haven't had a single comment on any of them after they left the top spot. And I have to say it's kind of an anticlimax when that happens, but that's just the way the site is designed. Saying that, it would be nice if people would bear this in mind when they post and wait until their post has left the top spot before posting the next.
valeriebean, you seemed pretty reluctant to stop flooding, and I have to give you kudos for not crumbling under pressure. I can understand why you do it and have no right or reason to stop you. And I have to say I LOVE all your stuff. If you feel youd prefer to post in chunks, I guess that's up to you.
I'm just saying, I tend to post a few days apart even though I have the full fic finished or near finished before I begin posting. THat way, you aren't bumping your own work off the topspot, and giving it time to accumulate comments on its own before updating. If a lot of chapters are posted, people will tend to continue on to the next chapter without commenting until the latest chapter. So if you're looking to bump your comments, you might wanna try posting chapters seperately.
I really am not trying to offend you or anything, obviously, it's your perogative, and I'm sure there are plenty of peopole who feel the same way. And I really am a fan of your work, keep it up!!

I have a related question, kinda...
What exactly does FILK mean? I've been assuming it means some parody lyrics
or song lyrics related specifically to the 'Verse / FF / BDM...
Yay or nay? Cuz I've seen a lot of "poetry" and writing that is...
well, basically, personally-related stuff. Not about the 'Verse per se but about the
author's own 'Verse.
Can there be a separate section for posting anyone's non-FF/BDM-related stuff?
Not saying the non-FF/BDM stuff is bad, just saying it's not FF/BDM-related
and I'm not generally expecting to see that sorta thing in the FILK section
if the FILK section is for FF/BDM-related stuff is all...
And speaking of FILKs [shameless plug coming]...
Check out my FILK of Paul Simon's
"Still Crazy After All These Years" titled (what else)
"Still Shiny After All These Years"...
I'd really like to see only actual FILK posted in the filk section, yes. I've been trying to wade through all the poetry - both personal and verse related - in the filk room and it's been rather frustrating when it's FILK I'm looking for.
Please folks, post your poetry in the correct section, not in the filk room.
Can you post a link to the "Still Shiny After All These Years" filk? :) I'd really like to see it!!

Is it possible to move posts between sections? Because it would be *fabulous* to have all that poetry moved to the appropriate section.
(I'd be willing to help move them, if needed...)

Oops. I'm totally guilty - I posted 4 images in a row a few days ago.
In my defence, it was a comic and the first few pages were slow going story wise - but that's not really an excuse as this thread has been here for a very long time and it doesn't really help the four pieces of work I must have bumped off the top page.
I've restricted myself to a page a day since, but I'm sorry for my initial thoughtless enthusiasm - and for not reading the forums properly before posting.
