Weird.

So the pingback_bot informs me that After the End made it onto the SPN News Letter. Which is really cool, but... I don't get it. Why that story and not others? I've been on there a couple of times (which, no, really, yay!), but I cannot for the life of me tell what sort of criteria they use.

Confused cat is confused.

There's no rhyme or reason to the things they choose to include. In theory, a community mod is supposed to contact them and ask when they want their community or challenge included. The comm I help mod is supposedly a part of it, but they've never actually included it the way they said they would. Similarly, gabriel_bigbang was never listed as a challenge the way it was supposed to be. I've long since given up why they pay "special attention" to some things and outright ignore others. There's a reason I don't watch the newsletter. If you're not all about Wincest and J2 they barely give a crap.

Wow, I'm not involved in the newsletter at all, but that's never been my experience. I don't write wincest, and it was a couple years I think before I started writing J2 but I've never had trouble getting linked. And I don't think I'm anybody in particular, so I just find it confusing why so many stories don't get linked. In any case, that really sucks!
