INTEREST CHECK: STAFF POSITIONS

Hey guys!

Its been a while, but we're on the cusp of looking new potential staff members to join our team in one of two roles. That said, the group has been a little quieter lately and we just wanted to do a preliminary check to see how much interest there would even be in applying to volunteer before we open up applications so we can decide how many new faces we want to bring on.

This is partially because one of these new staff roles is brand new! You can find a description of both of them below.

ASSISTANT / NOVAE As their title suggests, assistants help the mods with day to day tasks like list upkeep, masterlist box runs, and giving back event rewards. When there is a major post like a policy update or upcoming event, assistants also generally get to read these posts ahead of time and are able to provide feedback! Generally speaking, these responsibilities are divvied up and don't require a lot of time!

CREATIVE COMMITEE (OFFICIAL NAME TO BE DECIDED) This new role is designed to help us with the more creative aspects of running the group. This could be things like helping brainstorm / write events and / or new areas, creating graphics / art, new systems / changes to existing systems, etc. You'd be able to brainstorm both together and with the other staff roles to help contribute new creative ideas for the group without the stress of dealing with the administrative side.

If either of these positions sound like something you might apply to, please like this post so we can get an idea of interest levels! We'll have more details available when we open those applications in the coming weeks!

good evening, isolans!

the challenge request form for the giant rank has been updated to reflect the changes made during the policy update earlier this year! we apologize for the delay, and in the near future we plan on adding some additional resources such as some example challenges, as we're aware not everyone trying to rank up may have an idea of what they're normally like.

if you've been given a challenge in the past, still have it, and would like to offer it as an example challenge for that list, please let us know!

@clownazon Damn it was heads lol

"OOGA BOOGA! YOU JUST GOT SPOOKED!"

Inspired by @confessions-sm!

If you have headcanons about characters, ships, OCs, or other Spooky Month-related things, send them in and they'll be shared with everyone else in the fandom!

RULES

Do not hate on other people's headcanons. Everyone can share or have different headcanons.

Though the mod is an adult, try to avoid sending anything too NSFW. Suggestive asks are fine and will be tagged appropriately.

Please don't spam, asks will be posted, whether that is sooner or later depends on my IRL schedule.

Nothing gross or illegal - Do not send in headcanons that glorify racism, homophobia, transphobia, pedo, incest etc. I can and will report you if you do.

Proship DNI

Rules will be updated if necessary

Edit: Emojis in the asks correspond to the characters (Ex: 🧢 - Roy, Ross, or Robert, 💀 - Skid, 🎃 - Pump, etc.)

Mod Note - Future of the Microfic Challenge

Hello all!

Just a quick wee note to say I've drafted the Microfic Challenge post for July so it's ready to go because I'll be on holiday when the first of the month rolls around.

I also wanted to say that, come August, I will make that our first pairing- or character-specific challenge. I haven't quite decided which to do yet but I do know that Jalex will be banned because most of the entries are Jalex. I love that ship very much, it's near and dear to my heart, so no hard feelings about it, but I also love reading other ships and it's nice to see other pairings get the spotlight!

If the challenge was pairing-specific, that means a pairing would be chosen to go alongside the prompt. So, for example, it could be "road, 603 words, Zalex."

If the challenge was character-specific, that means the pairing would have to feature the chosen character, but the pairing (or if there was a pairing at all) is up to you. So, for example, it could be "road, 603 words, Matt Flyzik." The story could be based around Matt with no pairing, or he could be featured with any All Time Low band or crew member (or someone else entirely!) that you desire, as long as he's part of it.

Another possible option is sometimes having a month where the character is, say, Jack, but he must be paired with someone from a different band.

As always, non-slash pairings are also welcome.

I hope that all makes sense, I just want there to be an extra challenge with the prompt sometimes to keep it exciting and give us content for ships or characters that might not often get a look in.

All that said, if you want to give this post a wee reply once you've read it and let us know if you'd like a pre-selected pairing for August's challenge, or if you'd like to try the character-specific way first, that would be lovely. <3

Hey guys!

Just a quick reminder that the Choose Your Own Rerun period ends at 11:59:59PM EST this Friday, January 10th! There won't be a conclusion post for obvious reasons, so here's a couple of notes:

New event threads will not be able to be made once the event period ends. As always you'll still be able to continue any threads that have already been started!

As a reminder: even if you participated in multiple events, you can only claim one towards your rank up progress!

If you posted 300 words within your event you will be eligible to claim a free unlock from the Galaxy blog as of 12am on Monday, January 13th. The claim period will be open until 11:59:59PM on January 27th, so if you've started a thread before the event period ends and haven't written 300 words yet, you'll have until the 27th to get that word count up!

Remember that you can only claim the 300 word unlock! If you chose an event that gives an unlock, you will not be able to claim it.

Thank you to everyone who participated! Our next event will launch at the beginning of February and will be a brand new event!

Hey guys!

Just a quick reminder that the unlock claim period for the Choose Your Own Rerun even ends at 11:59:59PM on Monday, January 27th! Any unlock claims sent after that point will not be processed, so that means this is effectively the final weekend to write the 300 words necessary (in threads that have already been started) to claim your reward.

[sm-headcanons]

Mod here! For the next three days, I will be on a remote island for a school trip. So I’ll be closing the ask box until I get back.

If I don’t open it in three days, I probably forgot to! Send me a reminder to do that lol
