blackballet Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) The challenge: Happy November! Let's show each other how grateful we are for community this month: Please leave a response in nano nests, participate in a review swap, or leave a review on stories without any! The prize: One of your fics (your choice) to be featured on the archives front page next month! The rules: Components of the challenge will typically consist of a certain # of reviews and review responses, and some kind of forum activity that will change each month. Each of these tasks must be completed between the time this thread was posted and the end of November in your own timezone. If you leave reviews as gifts for this month's challenge, they may be the same reviews left for review swaps/tags/requests. Staff are also welcome and encouraged to participate! Please post your completed challenge activity below using this format: Quote Community Building Gifts: thing 1 thing 2 thing 3 thing 4 thing 5 Which of your fics would you like to appear on the archives 'featured fics' list next month?: Edited November 1, 2023 by blackballet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregonian Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 A quick question concerning review swaps. It appears that more review swaps are offered and accepted on Discord than on these Forums. Is "Participate in a review swap" limited to swaps offered and accepted in this forum, in order to promote community within the forum, or do swaps set up elsewhere, such as on Discord, also count? Note: I offered a swap on these forums today, impelled by the posting of my latest chapter of Crofter/Snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackballet Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 Great question, @Oregonian! I’d say let’s include discord review swaps in addition to those started on the forum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felpata_Lupin Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I also have a couple of questions (and sorry if they are stupid...) 1. If I post a swap request, and 3 people reply to it, does it count as 3 different swaps I'm participating in? 2. Is there any requirement for novel nests responses? Thank you! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any requirement for novel nests responses? I think it's pretty open for the most part! I would say, at minimum, respond to something that the nano poster wrote about in their nest (could be a question, a thought, or a cheering on!) Thank you! Let me know if those answers are clear! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
