Very Slow Queue
The TPP admins would like to acknowledge that the waiting time for review of chapters they have submitted continues to be longer than any of us would prefer. This is because of a variety of training and RL issues, including both heavy work schedules on the one hand and much-needed holidays on the other. We ask for your continued patience while we do the best we can with limited resources. Thank you.

Community Announcement
It is with great sadness that we inform you all that we've lost one of our own: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.
Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

Call for new Admins
The Petulant Poetess moderated online fiction archive is searching for motivated and enthusiastic individuals to add to its skilled administrative staff. If you have adequate time to devote (approximately 6-8 hours per week), have a solid knowledge of grammar and punctuation, and a willingness to follow guidelines set for admins to help preserve our reputation for being consistent, we invite you to apply.
The application consists of a Q&A section and a short test (which will help us to see how you would admin a submission). We are not looking for perfection on this test; we are merely trying to assess how you would fit in and how much training you would need. Please do not have anyone beta your test—it needs to be as honest as possible.
Applications will be accepted until Sunday, December 11 at Midnight, EST.
