Creators' Notes (optional): I really hadn't intended to write a sequel to Twenty Two Words, but the 'oppression and tolerance' prompt provided this plot bunny. Not an easy fic to write.

LJ bug update, AO3 collections, and a reminder

[mistress-tanwe.livejournal.com]

1. Several members have reported problems posting to the community using the "Post to community" link that is found at the top of the B2MeM community page. Doing so returns an error about a missing password. We have reported this problem to LiveJournal, and they have identified the cause of the problem and are working to resolve it. Unfortunately, it will very likely not be resolved prior to the ending of B2MeM. Until the problem is resolved, if you are one of the users affected by this bug, the best way to post to the community is to choose Post New Entry from the main LJ page, choose "To Community," and select "b2mem" from the dropdown. If you encounter any problems posting, you can reach the mods at b2mem.mod@gmail.com or via a comment to this post.

2. Our B2MeM subcollections on AO3 are now live! Besides this year's growing 2015 subcollection, subcollections for each year from 2006 to 2013 are available for those who wish to add works from prior B2MeMs. B2MeM 2014 works are in a separate collection. (Instructions for posting to AO3 collections.)

3. Last but not least, as we enter the final quarter of the month, remember that we still have a wide array of prompts on offer. Many prompts have already seen more than one happy buyer, and many others still await a good home! Peruse all vendor's wares via the 2015:market stalls tag, or check your favorite stalls for great buys by heading straight to the Masterlist of Market Stalls.
