If we haven't linked to your post, it's because there wasn't enough information in the header for us to spot it or make a link. Particularly for fanfiction, we need a title and pairing at least. Anything else is a bonus – spoilers and ratings especially. Please leave a comment if you think we should have linked to something, and we'll add it or pick it up for the next newsletter. However, the newsletters will not be edited to include any changes to your post that happen more than a week after we've posted the newsletter.

Shoes and Ships and Sealing Wax should be listed as FRE. :)

[cs-whitewolf.livejournal.com]

My bad! I'll get right on that, thanks!

I've edited it to "FRC" (suitble for children) as that's from the ratings system we've been using for fics rated G-PG. Is that okay?

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

It happens. I know I certainly wouldn't do nearly as good of a job at keeping this all together as you do.

That's fine. I tend to gravitate more toward FRE just because I look at my fics and usually think 'but children would probably think this is boring' and it makes me feel like it's false advertising, even though it isn't. /rambling

Thank you!

I'm still getting to grips with the whole fan rating system XD I keep trying to list everything the G through NC-17 way before remembering myself and having to go through and change everything XD

Is FRE part of the ratings system? I could change it but the ratings list I was given to work from doesn't include that one :S I'm a total newbie at this whole thing ;D heh.

I'm a bit confused...? O_o? Is this supposed to be a source of fanfics you guys come upon or something? I apologize but I've never heard of your group. Anyhow, the story Reel is part 2 of 3 (part 1: Exposure, part 3 is not yet released.) All of them will be able to be found here or on fanfiction.net. I don't know if you need more information?

On a side note, since this is my first time seeing your group- listing it as Issue (while I understand it can also mean Volume) and then a number... you made me think my fic had been reported (in a bad way). Maybe you can put disclaimers or something next time you see a new writer to your system? *Shrugs* Just a suggestion.

Hi there!

We're a Criminal Minds newsletter, which basically means we post a roundup of all CM works that are posted on LiveJournal every couple of days- people tend to use us so that they don't have to look through the communities/find the links to fanworks themselves. Getting posted to this community is NOT a bad thing, so don't worry at all, if anything it'll help get more readers to take a look at your stuff :)

Have a read at out Profile Page (http://community.livejournal.com/bau_inbox/profile), and if you need anymore information don't hesistate to ask and I'll do my best to clarify!

I've also edited this post to include the information about Reel being part 2 of 3.

Hope this helps!
Thanks,
CS WhiteWolf
