Congratulations to the discussion leads and the authors of the fics we'll be talking about.  We hope that everyone has a wonderful time discussing them.


The mods would also like to take this opportunity to roll out our modified Author Participation Policy - which isn't so much changing things as it is cementing a method that most authors have already used, and which seems to have worked very well:

Authors are welcome to participate in discussion on a limited basis, by starting a dedicated thread for author interactions and limiting their comments to that one thread. We ask that authors wait 48 hours before posting, so that the discussion has time to build in response to the readers' questions and concerns.

In the next week, we'll also be rolling out a Conduct Code for our membership - again, nothing very drastic, merely spelling out things that most of us already do.  Every round is a learning experience for us, with new challenges and questions - and one of these days, we might actually get it right!

Have a happy reading session, all, and see you on February 11th!
