Weekly Check in Nov 26

[tassosss]

I hope all our US members had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. tanaqui and I are working on getting a few of the suggestions folks had set up. We're looking to do a friending meme in the next week or so, and thinking about how to set up pledge for action/accountability posts to support better discussion and cheerleading.

Posts this week

Round 2 of Fandom Trumps Hate fanworks charity auction is getting under way

Housekeeping (the usual stuff)
Reminder that we have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.

As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.

Also if you need help with tags, PM redbird, who is our tag guru. Both tanaqui and I are very grateful for the help.

So, what have you all been up to in the last week?
