Forum - Personally, I prefer LJ - for many reasons, not least that I know "coding" is simpler for you all, but also because I think it promotes more comments and feedback. Even though I email mine, many might find it a little onerous. As someone mentioned above (koulagirl?), [livejournal.com profile] vo_xmas uses a pretty cool format. You might ask koulagirl to "introduce" you to [livejournal.com profile] lennongirl who runs that and talk with her.

BUT - I do know how intimidating LJ can be for those who do not know/use it regularly. Might I suggest that you keep the website, but use LJ for posting and then just put links to the (LJ posted) stories at the website. Perhaps that will even entice some who don't use LJ to see it and maybe begin playing here. Please. Not Yahoo, in any case.

Content - Not at all unhappy with the way things are. I probably wouldn't suggest "adding" a fandom, esp. since most already have their own challenges/secret santas, etc., though I do honestly think the idea that writing in a different fandom. here, amongst friends, might be fun. I have been kinda itching to write a B/J fic, but really, really, don't want to do it within the QAF fandom itself - not because they are not nice peeps, but I can barely "keep up" with LOTR much less add friends by the thousands in another fandom. Maybe a fun, random "add-on" though, for those who might be interested. I do love the QAF "challenges" and the way they are run around a "theme", but really, it's a different kettle of fish from a secret santa type of exchange. Am kindof intrigued by the idea, noted by someone here, of rotating different fandoms down the line as an add-on. I might even be enticed to write two! An LOTR and a QAF, for example.

I hope some of the suggestions, along with a lot of the others here can help to make things a little less difficult for you and your "elves." And again, I offer my services to help out in any way that I possibly can.
