Laying Down the Law

Hello girls,

It's been a bit long in coming, but the lit community is finally up and running! Here are just some ground rules:

1) No Trolls: Do not leave anonymous comments, do not be rude, dismissive or patronising. Remember in literature there are no right or wrong answers- just convincing and unconvincing arguments. Debate it out, but always be civil.

2) Since this is the internet, please feel free to exploit it fully! Post youtube videos, links to blogs, online journals or even other works as long as it is relevant to literature and somehow relatable to what we are studying. Do not simply post a link/video, please write a little blurb explaining what it is about and why you wanted to share it.

I will, however, accept a certain amount of off-topic-ness in the comments, but not the posts.

3) Please type with proper grammar! I know that on the internet some of you might tend to TyP3 lYk dIS. But please use proper spelling and grammar. Emoticons, however, like :) or ^___^ are acceptable.

4) Be generous in contributing and sharing. How much we all get out of this community also depends on how much you put into it. It may be an experiment, but we should try our best to help it to succeed. :D

Also, I'm not too fond of this layout. If any of you have stronger opinions about layouts, or find nicer, more appropriate ones, please leave a comment. We should probably have a little blurb describing what this blog is about on the sidebar, so does anyone have any ideas for what we should put as a description? :)

Post away!
