Notes

As I've mentioned elsewhere, our new website is up! Go us! There haven't been any major additions since it came up earlier this week, but keep watching this space.

I've rationalized the tags section of the alt_fen community. Go take a peek; I'll try and help people tag things appropriately, but it really makes me happy when folks tag things themselves! I created a "best of alt_fen" tag here, and I hope that you all will feel comfortable tagging the entries that you find the best with that marker, so that we can point new alt_fen there (I haven't tagged any entries this way yet, although if no one else does, I might).

I have new icons! Hooray for modly beings, or something.

In other news, Nocturne Alley Offline has been released by bookofjude . I have been considering doing something similar to this for Alternity at the end of each school year. Anyhow, I know that a lot of nocturne_alley  fans read Alternity, and if you're not still a member of nraged  you might not have heard, so I figured it'd be worth it to announce here.
