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.

Ahh.

At the time I checked it out and it all seemed a bit...random. Looking it over now, some things seem a bit clearer. Although I'd say I'm none too concerned about it. (*Has a thing about 'exclusivity'*)

(The FAQ indicates they won't post without statement of pairing or gen-ness...and a rating. So that would certainly limit a lot of random fics that float around....)

It really does, but my fics always have the rating and characters (gen or pairing where applicable), so it's just confusing to me.

Poor newsletter. I think trying to round up all of the SPN fandom is just begging to fail.

[honeylocusttree.livejournal.com]

Amen.

Plus the one they linked of mine has neither rating nor pairing info. (Yes, I went back and checked. That doesn't make me anal. Really.)

Oooh - Can I jump in here? I've never thought of the newsletter as "exclusive". Maybe I'm wrong, but I figure they link as much as they can find or see. If someone only posts to their journal I doubt that they would find it. In fact, I'm sure they wouldn't. But maybe I'm seeing it differently to others? I'm really curious about that...

It's an amazing resource... but, as I said, might be because I rely on it a bit to find stuff.... and it was one of the very first comms I friended on LJ..

?

ETA: also.. it's a daily round up. Sometimes it's HUGE! fandom is so productive. :)
