Quotable Mods

CLOSING OF COMMUNITY

2009-11-02T20:08:38Z

It is with great sadness that the mods are being forced to close down Quotable Muse after almost three years.

Thank you for your participation in the community! If you are looking for other good communities out there, we recommend trying one of the following:

Theatrical Muse - The original prompt community.
Realm of the Muse - A variety of prompts available with moderated membership.
Writer's Muses - An open prompt community where multiple muses are allowed.

We hope that one of these communities can help fill the void that QM will leave behind. Thank you again for everything you brought to our community.

With the shift of the community to a once-monthly activity check, the mods have decided in deference to both that and their own schedules, to reduce the frequency of prompt posting. Starting with February 2009 and going forward, QM will post a new set of 4-5 quotes, all taken from the same film, during the first week of each month, its posting coinciding with the activity check.

Members may write responses to as many of the posted quotes as they like, but are still required to reply to one during each calendar month to maintain active status.

If you have any questions, please e-mail the mods at quotable dot mods at gmail dot com.

With the closure of the prompt writing community, original_muses, we have made a decision to hopefully help out any muses that might be left in the cold, so to speak, and without a community.

If you had a muse from original_muses and it is not already taken here at quotable_muse, simply hit "click to join" and we will automatically accept you without an application.

The QM Mods have spoken with the former mod of OM, who was kind enough to point muns towards our community since the two had been affiliated previously.

We hope that any muses who need a new home can find one here.

Also, we have started a new rule - the mods have decided to change QM into a monthly prompt writing community. Weekly prompts will still be posted, and you may answer as many as you like, but from now on a muse will only be required to reply to ONE prompt per month. Hopefully, this will allow for more muses and more fun!

New Comm Info

2008-01-07T23:35:57Z

There used to be an old community known as "Straying Thread" for fun Meta interactions for pups from all communities. Although it died out, a new one has opened up and the mods here encourage everyone in QM to join:

the_lounge_rotm

Although it was initially intended to be affiliated with the prompt community "Realm of the Muse", we have asked the mods to allow our community to be affiliated as well. We encourage everyone to join and have fun!

Notice of hiatus

2007-12-28T17:58:11Z

Please email the mods at quotable.mods at gmail.com if you need a hiatus due to RL, computer issues, or the holidays. So far, we have only received ONE request for a hiatus, and many of you are already behind in the community.

With the closure of the prompt writing community, elite_muses, we have made a decision to hopefully help out any muses that might be left in the cold, so to speak, and without a community.

If you had a muse from elite_muses and it is not already taken here at quotable_muse, simply hit "click to join" and we will automatically accept you without an application.

The QM Mods have spoken with the former mod of EM, who was kind enough to point muns towards our community.

We hope that any muses who need a new home can find one here.

22nd Topic, Week July 27 - Aug 2

2007-07-30T06:28:10Z

#22
Please write a ficlet based on the quote, "It really don't matter if I lose this fight... 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance." - Rocky

It can either include the quote or simply be inspired by it, but it must be at least 200 words long. Anything over 450 words, rated NC-17, or including current TV spoilers should be placed under a cut. Please cross-post your answer to both the main community as well as your muse journals and sign your answer with the muse's full name, fandom, and word count.

Rule Changes

2007-07-26T19:22:50Z

Thanks to the suggestions we've received from the members of the community, the following changes will be made to (hopefully) let everyone have a little bit more fun!

1. Starting FRIDAY, JULY 27th, you will not be required to answer every prompt. Only ONE out of every TWO prompts will be needed to be answered to stay up-to-date with your muses. You can, however, answer every prompt if you choose to do so. If you have NOT answered the latest prompt, however, and you are not on hiatus, please do so before the end of the day TODAY. The prompt can be found HERE.

2. Also starting FRIDAY, JULY 27th, if you wish to have more than one muse in a fandom, you may! Simply send in your application to quotable.mods @ gmail dot com for any new muses you wish to add to the community.

Hopefully, these changes will help make QM a more creative place to be!

How can we improve QM for you?

This is your comm, and we'd like to hear feedback. Do you like the prompts? Would you like to have more muses allowed? Would you like to change the format from once a week to every other week responses?

Here's your chance to let us know. All comments are screened! Or, you can email us at quotable.mods at gmail dot com.

Suggest a classic film quote

2007-04-27T19:33:22Z

Mod Post - Info

2007-03-15T19:42:14Z

Just wanted to let everyone know what a great job you guys are doing so far!

A few things, in case you'd like to RP/branch out your pups:

A good place to intro your pup (and be able to interact with any muse from any writing comm) is tm_green_room (which actually stands for "The Muse Green Room", and is not affiliated with theatrical_muse). A smaller place to meet new pups is watering_hole.

There are many writing comms out there these days (and we are looking for affiliates!), but ones we would suggest looking into are original_muses for fandom-related OCs and elite_muses for everything else.

If you're looking for a panfandom RPG, there's a smaller one looking to expand called knyghtfall, which takes place in New York City and accepts all muses from all fandoms!

Lastly, although this comm hasn't had much use in the past months, take a look at fangirlingthing. It's a place to fangirl anyone from any comm!

In the meantime, please feel free to recommend others to join here -- we'll be having an "incentive" program pretty soon where extra paid time, userpics, or other LJ gift certificates will be given out if you get someone to join!

Keep writing, and have fun!
