Issue #253

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

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.

This was an especially long issue after our holiday break. All fic is under a cut. Please let us know if we've missed anything or if you find any errors!

SO sorry this wasn't addressed in the last issue. I'm not sure what our policy is on this (if we even have any), but I'm checking, and will get back with you. <3
