I have notified all who applied about their application and we now have 2 shiny new mods to the team

I hope you all give them a warm welcome

We will be closing applications by Tuesday 5th. So once it is Tuesday in your part of the world, given I am Australia it kinda ends up being Wednesday my time AEST. But either way if you want the link to the form or are one of the ones who we have given the link to but not completed your form have them in by Tuesday.

Then later next week we will contact those who applied to let them know and most likely announce the new mod by the end of next week if all things go to plan.

But yeah if you want a form or haven't completed it TUESDAY is your deadline

I just want to write a little thing here after the asks we got today/last night

We are blog with 9 mods and we are all very different people who all think differently. While we post to the same blog and try hard to keep to a blog standard sometimes we slip up, things are taken out of context or we just plain get it wrong.

While we do try our best to be as balanced as we can we are all human and are not perfect. Sometimes bad posts fall through the gaps and I apologise for noticing it earlier as head-admin it is my job to notice this stuff and to keep an eye on these things. 

With that said if you see something you take offense too that is fine let us know the post, the mod that posted it, and why. Just don't come on anon and call us fuckwits or literal pieces of shit. That is not helping any and you ruining your own argument by just insulting us.If you want to think that that is fine go ahead just don't spout it out in our ask. 

If a post causes offense or falls out of line with the blog standards I will address it with the mod/s and we will aim to do better in the future

Remember each mod has their own thoughts and posts and should not be taken as this is what the whole blog thinks.

Just want to thank everyone who has followed us as we have broken into the 600's whoohoo!

I'd like to mention a few things

First we will be relaunching the charities page in the next couple of weeks with a different format. We are not continuing with Project Flower Power or the fundraiser for Health Right International. 

What we will be doing instead is we will have a list of about 10-15 charities some regional and some international that we will have links to their sites and if you wish to do so you can donate directly to them.

We are also looking at launching a commissions for donations project alongside this. Where if you would like some fan-art or fan-fiction from one of us mods (sailor moon related of course lol) you send us a a screen-cap/picture of the receipt/donation slip what ever you call it with the donation amount and the name of the charity you donated to (you block out all the sensitive info on the page of course) and we will do  some art for you that is in line with what you donated to one of the charities on our list.

Second we are running a little project which is the brainchild of  the lovely Mod Mars.

To try and create some team bonding and to help you followers get to know us a bit and mostly for some fun we were randomly assigned a Sailor Solider/Mod to draw. So we have to draw the Sailor and The Mod who goes by the same name.

Mod Saturn has already finished hers of Sailor Uranus and Mod Uranus

You can find it here

Hopefully we will set a page for them all in the near future.

So thanks everyone for making this blog awesome and helping us reach 600 followers whoohoo

Heya Followers Mercury here I just wanted to make a quick post about some of the things happening on the blog (soon)

As you know Pluto the creator sadly left the blog the other day now I just want to reassure everyone that the blog isn't going anyway or going to fade into oblivion. And despite the fact we were all arguing a bit the past week we are all still friends and all on good terms. 

I was nominated by Pluto to take on the duties of head admin and no-one opposed the idea so I was happy to accept the job.

We had a mod chat about a few things and are going to make a few small changes that I would like to let you all know about.

 We will have a new blog theme/layout in the near future, Mod Saturn has done the leg work and is going to set up a new theme for us. So in the next week or so if the blog looks a bit all over the place or doesn't load right we could be updating the theme.

We are revamping our charities page as well. We will be adding a list of 10 or charities we are interested in and have links where you can donate directly to the charity if wish to do so.

And I am sure you will all still here from Pluto, and you can visit her at Sailor Everything our parent blog.

I realize this is terrible timing, but I unfortunately have to say goodbye. I have already discussed this with the other scouts so now I'm saying goodbye to any followers that are interested on the matter.

I am starting a new family (son and future husband) and we are struggling to get our lives together the way we'd like them to be, and I find that I cannot commit the time that I'd like to this blog. It requires a lot of attention and hard work that I cannot give right now, so I don't see it as fair for me to stay. 

On the blog I have included a "Parent Blog" link which will direct you to Sailor Everything, which is my original Sailor Moon blog. Should anyone have questions for me they can contact me there. I hope I am able to do work with the Sailor Soldiers of Justice in the future as a fellow Moonie, but I am no longer Sailor Pluto. I am Sailor Everything.

In regards to my answering the message about this blog, it has been brought to my attention (numerous times in fact) that I can be blunt when it comes to my feelings. 

Had I said:

"It's lovely that I've found other people that are willing to create a community together and work together for social justice change, but this blog is not yet where I'd like it to be. I actually have many plans for this blog and hope for much change and improvement for the future."

I imagine something like that would have been better accepted, but it wouldn't have been me being myself despite the fact that it is equally true. I am blunt. I can't imagine that anyone thinks this blog has reached the pinnacle of all it can do, or that every single member and follower is pulling their all in one unified force towards every possible social justice end. That is, of course, impossible, but will always remain the goal, a goal I don't think we are even yet capable of climbing towards because of the resources and time currently available to us.

I'm sorry if my being blunt has come across as bitter. That's the way I talk when I'm rather serious about something. It has been pointed out to me many times that I don't "sugar coat" things, and I'm not sure if that is the issue here or not, but if this really is just a case of me hating to unnecessarily sugar coat things, than I hope people can come to understand that that is just now how I handle things.
