I'm still confused why we have to do everything by email. Why can't we post prompts/claim prompts/submit fic just to the comm?

The old format for the comm was really, simple, and I guess I worry about making it unnecessarily complicated.

(And like ozqueen, I'm really uncomfortable with the character bashing description. Characters disagreeing with each other isn't bashing, and okaying character bashing to any degree opens us up for problems, I think. For instance, I've seen stories that are nothing but characters badmouthing another character. Under current rules, that could interpreted as being acceptable, even if that's not what you meant.)
