EveKnight75 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 I've just come across this community on LJ entitled official_aff. They claim that they're the official community for AFF on LJ, but I didn't recognize any of the members, including the maintainer. They do link to the main AFF site on their profile page, but I'm still a bit wary. I'm thinking of joining, but I want to be sure that they're not lying about their affiliation with AFF. So, are any of you with LJs actually members of this group, or have at least heard of them prior to this? Quote
Guest DarkVampWriter Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 I am kinda sketchy on this one.... hmmm? Quote
Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 The maintainer owns fanfiction archive (that kinda sucks). Huh... I dunno... Quote
Guest echtrae Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 It would appear that fanfictionaxis might be jaxxy. The only name I recognized in that list was trekqueen. Quote
EveKnight75 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Posted November 21, 2006 At least you recognized one name. The thing is, I'm not sure fanfictionaxis is Jaxxy. I compared the fandom interests, and none of the mods write for that same fandom, so that can't be it. Quote
Guest echtrae Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 DarkAvenger might know. I'll ask her the next time I get a chance, unless of course she sees this before then. Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Hmm. Not sure what to make of that one. I don't think it's us. Could be a subset of authors inside AFF doing their own thing, but I don't know. Wait for DA! Quote
Guest DarkAvenger Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 It is, in fact, our official LJ community. It is run and maintained by Beth, one of the AFF moderators, who happens to also run Fan Fiction Axis. She was the only one of us willing to maintain an LJ community and it was originally Apollo's idea way back when to open it. (We also had a myspace page, but that was run by Apollo and is not being maintained in any form or fashion that I know of now.) In any case, I re-joined the LJ community so maybe people will be a little less weary of it from now on. (I had done some cleaning of my communities list a while back and at the time, people weren't using it, so I simply un-joined to let my listings be more organized.) My username there is cadkitten, just so people know. Quote
Guest echtrae Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 There we go then, mystery explained. Thank you for clarifying things DA. Quote
Iggy_lovechild Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Link please anyone? I'm completely inept at using lj's crappy site search engine. Quote
Guest echtrae Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 There was a link provided by Eveknight in the first post, or did you want a link to something else? Quote
Iggy_lovechild Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Ugh, I'm such a dumbfuck. How could I blank out like that? Thanks. Quote
Guest echtrae Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 No worries. We all have our moments. Quote
Iggy_lovechild Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 oooohhh...It's all rather private, isn't it? That's alright, I don't mind waiting. I figure I'm a shoe-in as an AFF member. I take it this is a way to filter out the kiddies? Quote
Guest DarkAvenger Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 No idea, but I'm on the waiting list right along with you! lol Quote
EveKnight75 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks for clearing that up, DA! Iggy, I know how hard it is to search for anything on the LJ site. That's precisely why I put the link there - to make things easier. Now to go join the community. It shouldn't be too hard to get in, seeing as how my b-day's visible on the profile and my entire LJ is dedicated to fic update news for both sites. Hell, you just need to read the latest entry to see that I'm a member of AFF. BTW, I've added Iggy and DA to my friends' list. Couldn't find the other names yet, but I'm still searching. My LJ ID is eveknight75, so I'll be relatively easy to spot, seeing as how I use the same ID everywhere when it comes to fanfiction. Quote
Squallfan Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Cool, I'll have to check it out. I just got an account at LJ this week. It would be great to be part of an AFF community. Quote
Guest DarkAvenger Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 BTW, I've added Iggy and DA to my friends' list. Couldn't find the other names yet, but I'm still searching. My LJ ID is eveknight75, so I'll be relatively easy to spot, seeing as how I use the same ID everywhere when it comes to fanfiction. Do you want to be able to read my journal entries? My entire journal is friends only, so just let me know. Quote
EveKnight75 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Posted November 22, 2006 That would be nice. You already know me well enough to not to have to be wary of making me a mutual friend. BTW, horrorgal, I couldn't find you under this name or your pen-name. Add me and I'll make it mutual. Quote
Squallfan Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 BTW, horrorgal, I couldn't find you under this name or your pen-name. Add me and I'll make it mutual.[/color][/font] Thanks Eve, I added you to my friend list. My user name is squallfan1 on LJ. I couldn't use squallfan cause someone was already using it, so I put the 1 on the end. I also added Iggy to my list. Quote
Guest Knorg Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I'm in! Now to commence a reign of sitting quietly at the back and not speaking much! Quote
EveKnight75 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Posted November 23, 2006 I'm in, my intro there takes forever to read, and I do notice the quiet ones precisely because I'm not quiet though I used to be during my entire life before university. Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Hey, if that LJ community is official, then I'll be happy to sign right up. Has anybody noticed that we're an extremely talkative bunch? We have this forum, an LJ community, several Yahoo Groups .... Quote
Solaris Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I've just come across this community on LJ entitled official_aff.They claim that they're the official community for AFF on LJ, but I didn't recognize any of the members, including the maintainer.

So, are any of you with LJs actually members of this group, or have at least heard of them prior to this? Hi, Yes, this is the Official LJ community for AFF members. I go under the name of fanfictionaxis on LJ and on AFF Solaris and I maintain the LJ community for AFF. The community started back in November of 2005 with just a small handful of members. I have noticed that there was four people waiting to join I think couple of days ago, so I checked their profile pages out and saw that they were of age as they should be and allowed entry and then found four more yesterday and allowed them entry. Sometimes the LJ community will be silent for couple of days so don't worry about being bombarded by posts on your friend's page. I notice one or two posts every couple of days. Solaris/Beth Quote
Guest echtrae Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Has anybody noticed that we're an extremely talkative bunch? We have this forum, an LJ community, several Yahoo Groups .... It probably goes with the entire writing/author thing that everyone has going on here. Quote
