All but one of the stories I submitted to TL got in straight away, without any fuss. These included fics like <i>For an Angel to Pass</i>, which isn't anything special. The one story that I really had to argue for (successfully in the end) was <i>We Who with Songs Beguile</i>, which at submission time I'd been more confident about than any of the others!Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-82871293837740914932016-03-17T16:02:29.325+00:002016-03-17T16:02:29.325+00:00If I read things correctly from the outside, Twili...If I read things correctly from the outside, Twilight's Library had a sort of schism growing internally. <i>Rough in the Diamond</i> was the breaking point. Apparently there was a "this fic is good enough" faction and a "this needs to be super high quality as our reputations are on the line" faction within the group. <i>Rough in the Diamond</i> wasn't seen as high quality, so those people got mad that it was included and it snowballed with they all had a public fight about it in the story's comments. A few weeks later, it was decided that they couldn't keep the group going and it was shut down. Most of them moved to Tag-A-Long's Book Club, but that stopped activity within a month or so.xjuggernaughtxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286896058684660654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-88101728961701972002016-03-17T15:40:48.416+00:002016-03-17T15:40:48.416+00:00Ah, I see.
