#notoriousadmin

Hello, lovely members!

This is going to be quite a long admin note as there are a few points we’d like to touch on. But before we dive into that, I’d like to start by saying how amazing you all are in so many ways. The group has been open for a little over a month now and we couldn’t be happier about how things are going and how smoothly everything is running. There have been no major issues and we can’t thank you all enough for continuing to show up and write together. Thank you. We admins truly appreciate you all.

With that said, there are a few things that we must enforce right now for the sake of the group.

Please remember that trigger tags are important and are not mandatory! It’s understandable that we might forget from time to time and that’s okay. However, we kindly invite everyone to visit the trigger page here and ensure that you are tagging your posts appropriately when necessary.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to muns you haven’t talked to before, especially if you have an idea you’d like to explore. We understand that this can be tricky, especially for those who are shy or anxious about initiating contact. However, remember that we are all part of a group because we want to be part of a group, of a community where we can create new connections and write with more than one person. I assure you, everyone here is more than happy to plot and develop their muses further So take the leap and give it a try. If you ever feel ignored or uncomfortable with a particular mun, don't hesitate to message us on the main. We’re always here to listen and help in any way we can. This a general reminder for everyone to also be proactive in coming up with ideas for plotting/connections and to at least provide each other with something to work with. Which leads me to the next point...

Replies: Make sure to give the other person something to work with. Ask yourself if your reply is something you would find easy to respond to; if not, develop it a bit more, ask questions, find common ground between the two muses interacting. This isn't an issue per se, as everyone has their own writing style, but it's a good reminder to always put effort into your replies, even if the muses aren’t directly connected in any way. We’re not saying long replies are the only way—absolutely not—that’s not the point at all. But everybody need to give the other person something to respond to, or else the conversation will die early on.

Last but not least, memes. we’ve had three memes so far and have encountered the same issue each time: not everyone is sending asks to others. While Tumblr can sometimes eat asks, it’s unlikely that more than half of them are getting lost. We know it can be a lot of work to send asks to 30+ celebs, but everyone is here to have fun, and it’s not fair to those who put in the effort to not receive as many as they expect and deserve. The rules are simple: if you reblog a meme with multiple muses, you must send an ask for each muse you’ve reblogged with. Make sure to go back and send asks to those who reblogged after you, every day until the meme ends. If you can’t be around right in that moment to do the meme, wait to reply until you’re actually available, or at least make sure you have enough time to send in questions before reblogging. We hate to do this, but this is an issue we can’t ignore. For the next meme, we’ll do a test and ask everyone to send asks off-anon. In the meantime, the current meme is still on-going, so we kindly ask those who didn’t send questions to everybody, to do so.

Hey there, fabulous members! We've got a couple of quick nuggets we'd love to talk to you about.

First things first, let's give that starter tag some extra loving! Before diving into your own replies, take a moment to explore the starter tag, make sure everybody gets the attention they deserve. Remember, our rule is to reply to at least two starters per week per mun, but don't be afraid to go the extra mile and shower everyone with even more love and replies.

We kindly request that you respond to all plot and starter calls within the OOC blog and server. Don't be shy, get in on the action. We know not everyone clicks or feels totally comfy with everyone else, but give it a whirl. You never know what magical connections might sprout from unexpected interactions. Here's a little tip to make things easier: consider creating a connection page. While it is not mandatory, it greatly aids in fostering connections between characters.

We really need to emphasize this: if you reach out to us anonymously about a situation, our hands may be a tad tied when it comes to providing assistance. There could be things happening in private messages that we can't be aware of, or other we didn't catch on. We genuinely care, so trust us and have faith. We'll always pour our hearts into helping you to the best of our ability. We'll never utter a word of the information you share without your permission.

hi to our wonderful members,

first of all, we hope you're all having a lovely start to your week so far. this is just a quick little psa that if you're actively participating in the ooc discord to please make an effort to interact with everyone in there. we love your enthusiasm and the bonds created make us as admins so happy to see, but we would never want anyone to feel left out. we love this group and pride ourselves on inclusively, so let's be sure to make this a happy environment for every single writer in the group. of course, we understand people may gravitate to other members more than others, but we really encourage you to branch out and interact with new people. you never know what kind of amazing bonds could form if you expand your horizons.

Dear Members,

First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Whether you’ve been with us for just a few days or have been here since the very beginning, your presence has meant the world to us.

As some of you may have noticed, activity has slowed down over the past while. Unfortunately, life outside the group has demanded a lot from us and we haven’t been able to dedicate the time and energy we had hoped to. Rather than giving the false impression that things will continue as they were, we’ve made the difficult decision to close Notorious.

We want to thank you all for your time, creativity and the wonderful stories and connections we’ve built together. You’ve made this group special and we will cherish the memories we’ve created here with you.

Hiya, lovely. As much as we would love one, we don't have a Sophie Turner in our group presently, so I'm not quite sure what you mean. She's completely open and we would love to see her grace our dash.
