I’ve been having trouble not being able to moderate comments. I’ve disabled Spam Karma which I think was causing the problem. (It’s worked until now. Weird.) Now everything seems to be okay but there were a few legitimate comments out of the torrent of abusive ones (I can always tell when someone’s linked this site — I get a lot of comments on certain posts calling me names!) which I actually wanted to approve…but alas, they have been lost forever.

If you posted something nice about me or a question or something and the comment isn’t on the site, it’s because my Wordpress install ate it, not because I didn’t approve it. Sorry. Try again?

A shout out to those of you on LiveJournal: I’m starting a new community for feminist writers. There are a several purposes to this community: to receive comments and criticism of your writing from fellow members, to dicuss writers and writing, to promote the published writing of community members, and to provide information about publishers seeking submissions of material which fits the scope of the community. So if you write fiction in your free time, or you just blog, please check it out. All genres and styles are welcome, including fiction, poetry, and nonfiction essays and articles!

Read the rules and decide if this is the community for you — it is not a exactly safe space, but there’s a lot of things I won’t put up with, either, because I truly believe there need to be some standards in order to maintain a “feminist” community and not a “debate with anti-feminists” community.
