FIGHT OR FLIGHT ▲ 2029

Now -- you're going to make your admins weep, you sweet anon member. That was a beautiful message. I am truly, truly touched. I am. Emerson and I were just discussing how happy our members seem to be, and how excited you all become and how happy that makes us to know that you guys feel the same way that we do about Fight or Flight.

This message made my day.

Speaking as a staff member who happens to work full-time while going to college full-time, I update as soon as I am able. There have been several days where I spent many hours working on writing for the site, preparing subplot updates, sending out messages, preparing fresh graphics, and yes, updating lists. Our site is far more than face claims and a patronus registry. We are a working, evolving writing place where there are a lot more pressing matters to attend to then simply updating lists. (Which, I believe should be obvious the face claim is claimed or the registry option is taken after the post claiming it.) It would never be ignored because it hadn't been officially added to the list.

But that isn't the point I would like to make.

I would like to point out that, as strange as others may find it to be, the staff does enjoy writing too. If you look at the date on the application I finished just recently, it took me over two weeks to finish my own application for a site that I own. Despite being on every single night since the site had opened, for at least three to four hours a night, I worked on an application twice in a two weeks period. 

In reference to applications sitting, there is no application that simply sits. None. We do not believe in the public act of pending applications. That is a personal staff choice to avoid embarrassment for members. Because that is not the kind of environment we want to create. With two highly involved admins, we discuss each application. Then, every single application that is finished and a staff member has concerns or questions regarding, we send PMs to the member and then proceed to carry a conversation there. Which, yes, sometimes takes time depending how quickly the replies are sent.  

ATTENTION WIZARDS AND WITCHES OF GREAT BRITAIN.

Now, now -- let's take a quick headcount.

How many followers do we have interested in taking a Ministry Employee and following our beloved Minister into the great flames of progressive change? 

What Emerson and I would love to see next: an introduction from all of you. Use the tag to write a brief summary of yourself just to get familiar with everyone before we open. Think of it as some staff motivation ; )
