Sharing Your B2MeM Pieces Here

[dawn_felagund]

In about four hours, the first BINGO number will be posted! :) We've been working up to this point for a month and a half now, so it's exciting to finally be so close to getting started!

One of the good things about having a separate B2MeM community is that participants now have a centralized location in which to share their creations, no matter the source material, rating, or other factors that may have made a B2MeM piece ineligible for certain B2MeM affiliate groups in the past. I want to encourage participants to post their work here but to please use the posting format under the LJ-cut below. All B2MeM pieces are welcome.

As in the past, our founding websites the Silmarillion Writers' Guild and Many Paths to Tread both welcome B2MeM-inspired pieces that meet their specific posting guidelines. For the artists among us, this year, Arda Inspired has also joined us and has a separate section for B2MeM artwork.

Four hours? So judging from your posting time that's gonna be about... Now? 6:25 pm Eastern US? :D

I'm not sure why, but copy-pasting the html just resulted in the html code showing up on the screen. Help? Techno-semi-illiterate here? *meep*

When you look at the Post Entry screen, there is a tab at the upper righthand corner, right above where you'd type the journal entry itself. You have the option of rich text or HTML. I suspect LJ might select rich text by default, but if you click the HTML tag and then paste in the header information, it should work correctly.

If you continue having problems, though, do let me know. :)
