New Mod, Slight Rule Change, And Ideas For Comm

[pigtailedgirl.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm pigtailedgirl and I'll be your new Mod.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     First, a big thank you to youngeratheart for creating this comm. Small fandoms can be hard to find in livejournal but I think this place was a fantasticly built group. This is why I'm not changing much of the rules, format, or resources. I'm new to moderating so I'm going to take it easy as well.

So, the rule changes I've made is in regard to pairing/characters, which has now become genre. This is purely to engage users by story type. I'm also thinking of keeping the community streamlined by tagging posts myself for organization.

Engaging users, new and old, is my first goal with this comm. To that end, I'm going to be launching a recap discussion free for all on previous seasons, starting with season 1 and moving on. Since I'm not familiar with the book series, if anyone is interested in exploring that avenue please speak up.

My other plans are to post, and I encourage all users to feel free to do the same for this, media clips to entice new members, challenges for fiction, picspams, or icons/artwork, and attempt to highlight our Heartland Comm through small fandom challenge groups.

So YAY, let's get like Amy and crew and work up this community as if it were Grandpa's Ranch.

I watch the episodes sporadically and have never seen a season straight through, but I'd love the opportunity to share my thoughts about the episodes that I have seen. I'm much more familiar with the books and would enjoy discussing them if possible as well.

Go right on! The great thing about Heartland is that it's not a serial drama in that you absolutely must catch everything but has a great overall plot imo.

I know nothing about the books. I'd love some ideas on how to play with posting on the novels?

I guess we should see if other people comment before we decide how to go about discussing the books? For now, though, I wouldn't mind going ahead and talking about the tv show! (I wish there were a list of episodes somewhere because I don't remember all of the ones I've seen unless I see a description of them.)
