B7 discussion community

[vilakins]

I've set up the B7 discussion community, b7discussion. I might fiddle with the settings yet and tweak the look some more. I'll add those who want to be as co-mods when they've joined. I haven't got the online time to post links to my ep reviews, but I will, probably when I get home again. :-) I've set up some tags as a start but members can add their own as needed.

I don't know how active I'll be, but I joined. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

welcome! You can always comment on other people's posts. :-)

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Or, just scroll past. I'm pretty easy. XD

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Cool. Don't know how active I'll be, either, but I'm definitely adding it to the flist.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Excellent! You can always add to the discussion even if you don't post. :-)

[hafren.livejournal.com]

Great. Will go join.

I've set up some tags as a start

How does one find those?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

If you click on 'tags' (or an icon that looks like one depending on your own layout), you'll see a list of existing tags under your post. You can select one, or hold the control key down and select more than one, and/or add a new one in the box. For example I haven't set up all pairings, but people can do that. I'll also add tags for episodes preceded by the number (e.g. 204) when I use them.

[hafren.livejournal.com]

Ah, you need to post before it appears?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You need to post before you can see existing ones, but you can also type a tag into the field on the posting screen.

I prefer to select the tag(s) after I've posted because that way I won't inadvertently add a new mistyped one.

I'm game. Not much of a debater, though.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Oh, you don't have to debate! Just comment if you want to, just as people have on my ep reviews. That's what started this: people enjoyed the discussions there and want more.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

You'll be astonished to hear... I'm in :)

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

I've joined as well.

[reapermum.livejournal.com]

And I'm trying for a new icon to go with.

[executrix.livejournal.com]

EEEEVERY time I think I'm out they pull me back in! Off to join.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ehhh! This thing of ours will never let you go.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

I'm in!
Does it include being able to list links to fics?
I mean there are only so many episodes yet so much more fan produced material.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, but I think there is already a B7 recs community somewhere.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

There are three comms for fiction: b7friday, b7fic, and b7recs. I think b7recswould be the best place to post a discussion of a fic.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

Those communities are more for posting fic or recommending fics than actually discussing them.
I'm not suggesting a review site more using the fic as a jumping off board.for discussoin.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

In that case, go ahead! And you could add a 'fiction' tag and any others that fit. :-)

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I didn't see any tags. I made one, and it showed up, though.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You see the existing tags when you tag an existing post. They should show them all for the LJ or comm when you're posting, but they don't.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought they'd show up under 'entry tags'. I see the one I did there, but that's all. Maybe I only see the tags I make? I don't use tags, so I don't know how they work.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You only see the tags you've entered. This is why I prefer to tag my post after I've made it so I see all the existing ones.

[alinewrites.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I joined.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Will try - I´d love to be more productive but...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Comments are always welcome even if you don't post much. I'd like to read a post from you though.

Stumbled on this through friends friends and as I'm feeling a resurgence of the B7 love I've joined. Just thought I'd say so in case you wondered who the hell I was! Hope you don't mind.

Hey, the more the merrier! :-D
