Veer away, trust me I'm liking the diversion from the same old same old every six months or so! Hopefully the comm will work out and we can all just get on with writing and reading stories again!
I know what you mean about so many comms to keep track of - I do rely on my flist page for keeping track of it all! But yeah, it's the "stretched too thin" thing that makes such separate expansion difficult in a relatively small community like Pros - suddenly it's not one big happy community any more, but a number of very small ones... I've been wondering if it's been stretched thin enough that Discoveredinalj has effectively become irrelevant to be honest, so it's nice to hear that you think it still has a place... but only if there are enough writers around prepared to take part and keep it vibrant... And it's hard to know... I will post another challenge soon, and we'll see how that goes on!
ETA - I'm so rubbish today at keeping my thoughts together! I remember back when Josey and I were talking about starting Dialj, we wondered if it was splitting the community a bit, and the same with CI5hq - but there were very specific reasons for starting them (as described somewhere else in this thread!) and it had to be done...
