Tag lists - Are they still a thing? (Talking about lists of people you tag not tags on the post.)
SPN fic writers - Do you still use a tag list when posting your fics?
Yes
No

Here at the Pond, we're looking at our Tag Sheet and wondering if it's worthwhile to keep it or update it in any way. Give us your feedback!

SPN Fanfiction Book Club Overview and FAQ
Every month, we host a book club chat about selected fics in our Discord server, exclusive to Pond members only!
(Not a pond member? Joining is easy! Just fill out this form here.)
Spn Fanfic Book Club is a place for Pond members to discuss fanfics together to learn about writing and gain inspiration from our fellow writers. Each month, a series of fics will be selected surrounding a theme for us to chat about. And remember, if you read a fic, leave a comment!
We choose multiple fics so that folks can choose how much they want to commit and won’t be left out of a month because there’s a fic they don’t like. Read all of them? Awesome! Only read 1? Still amazing and we want to hear what you think!!
Rules
Be respectful. This should go without saying, but don’t be rude to one another, try your best not to talk over one another. And always remember, Don't Like, Don't Read!
Gen chats stay general. NSFW images and text discussions must be had in the 18+ chats. Some months we will discuss 18+ fics, these discussions will happen in the 18+ chats and need to stay there. Good rule of thumb is anything you wouldn't want your boss to see on your work PC needs to go in 18+.
Don't Talk Shit. We're here to talk about fanfiction so we can improve our own work and find inspiration. We are not here to give rude or unwanted criticism to the writers. Some of the writers may be in the server and some may not, they all deserve respect. This is not the place for "brutal honesty" at any time.
How do we choose fics?
Fics are chosen each month based on a theme and which fics have synergy with each other. The first place we check is the Angel Fish Awards, so if you read a fic you think would be great for us to read together, give it an AFA nomination! (Click here to learn more about how to nominate a fic for an award!)
We try to message any authors before using their fic in Book Club, both those in and outside the server, so keep your eyes on your messages if you get an AFA nomination!
If you have any questions, please contact Manta Ray Russo 🐝 (@shadowbender19)

It was a holiday this past week for those of us in US, filled with being thankful that we are all still here, hanging on by our fingernails. We may be living in a pre-apocalyptic fascist dystopia, but at least we're still living, right? This meant, though, that the Pond has been mostly dead this past week, with nothing truly newsworthy happening. Looking at the calendar, that won't change much before next weekend. Here's the skinny!
Old Business:
Secret Santa - Admin Marie made a collection over on AO3 that you can add your fics to! Click here to view the collection!
New Business:
Angel Fish Awards - The deadline to submit nominations and earn entries into the November raffle drawing is tonight at midnight EST! Click here for all the details!
New Member Spotlight - It will happen. At some point. You know the drill. *hangs head in shame AGAIN*
Manta Ray chat - Admin Marie will be chatting in the Discord server on Friday at 8pm EST!
SPN Rewatch: FanFic Edition - We're going to try this again! The chat that was originally scheduled for last week will instead happen next weekend, on Saturday, at 5pm EST. Episodes we'll be discussing: 5.19 Hammer of the Gods and 5.20 The Devil You Know.
Fishing for Treasures - December's theme is Original Works, and the @fanficocean will be reblogging yours next weekend! The Pond will do the same on the 20th and 21st. Click here for all the details on how to participate!

New Manta Ray! - Everyone, please welcome Russo, aka @shadowbender19, as our newest Manta Ray!
New Business:
