I've been drilling. Drilling and screw-drivering (I would use the version of that word that actually is a word, but you'd all be gigglesnorting in my general direction. So I shan't). Mostly making plinths, whatever plinths are.

In the afternoon I had my driving lesson, so my working time was spent on the website. That was fun - I was basically making up attribute tags as I went along, seeing if any of them actually did anything. This worked surprisingly often. XD

From the poll results in

raibicycle, I'd say that we're keeping RaiOmi. 0 votes for kicking it out, 5 for keeping it and allowing RaiKim, 6 for allowing it and keeping RaiKim out. Which is about expected - we'll probably end up allowing RaiKim, but not encouraging it.

Some of the rest of the poll is a bit mucked up by tickyboxes (I should have used radio boxes or made it clearer that if the second option says 'Same as above, but...' then you can't tick both the first and second), but the one I just reported on was the important one, so it's fine.

I've been using the strict policy with

raibicycle that if there was another (specific) community for a pairing, then fic for that pairing would not be encouraged.

I'm not apologetic when I say that that policy is there for the sole purpose of keeping out Raimundo/Kimiko, but then THIS happened.

A RaiOmi community, pimped in my lovely

raibicycle. Now I have to decide whether to enforce the policy, disallow RaiOmi from now on and affiliate with

raiomi_lovers, or to discretely delete the post and pretend that I never saw it, branding myself a hipocrit to myself in the process.

See, the thing is this: I like RaiOmi. I don't want to exile it! It, along with ClayRaimundo and RaiKat, was the reason why we have

raibicycle instead of

jack_raimundo. If I had made it slightly later, it might have been

jackraikatclay or something.

I might be happier if the

raiomi_lovers mods hadn't already broken their style sheet. -_-;; If I don't want to lose it, I certainly don't want to lose it to a person who fails at code!

One thing's for sure: We're going into modded submissions, and the ad shall be deleted. I'm too much of a wet blanket once this sort of thing happens, and once it happens once... Pvoom! Floodgates open, chaos.

But the question is still out on RaiOmi.

( In which I ponder motivations and generally wangst )

However, coming to the conclusion that alternate lists are Good Things doesn't help with the question of whether to continue allowing RaiOmi or not. If it is disallowed, the subtitle might be made less fitting: "For every Raimundo pairing you can imagine - except RaiKim or RaiOmi" . On the other hand, people can always join

raiomi_lovers in addition if that's what they're after.

On the other other hand, the point of

raibicycle is multishipping. Excluding one because of someone creating their own comm (the anti-RaiKim is there for a better reason) kicks the mood, a bit. I want to promote longer fics there, but that's difficult without multishipping.

I'll do a poll and find out how the members feel about it. It'll be best to come clean and state publically what exactly the policy is for new comms, when I've decided it. Best see how many OTPers are there, though. O_o If multishippers outnumber highly, we're keeping it.

To any memebers that haven't got us on your friends list, the poll is here. Only members can vote, because they're the one this affects.

Help?
