This would be our 7th year open. We actually need some moderators... from people who are active that are active. We'e had some kerfuffles in the past with some mods that thought they were more important than other members of the community, and some that just wanted the status.
SO, we need 2 mods that can help moderate the site here at IYFF and a 3rd mod that would be interested in helping to handle the social media aspects of the club.
Although InuYasha, the manga and anime are over, there are tons of new fanfics each day... and it would be cool to get the word out that we are solely dedicated to InuYasha and as spam free as possible.
Outside of the moderator issue... I need help on changing up our recommended fanfics that are showcased on the site. Got any good ones to suggest? Let me know.

We definitely need to have an update here, and I am sure that would be welcome.
So let me know your thoughts. :D

Just wanted to take the time to welcome the newest members, and to say how great it is to see everyone writing and reading! I know school starts for many of you, so this will damper our activity, but keep on truckin'!
Read a little at a time (I know how hard that is, but it's better than not doing your homework!), or write when you're most comfortable (I, for one, can't write under pressure).
Soon, we should be having our 2nd Haiku contest. All of the mods have been very, very busy since we're all involved in multiple sites/groups on top of our personal lives, so we haven't done much besides our basic duties - I apoligize on our behalf. We'll be better behaved from now on.
And most of all, keep spreading the word - Inuyashafanfiction.com is the best place to read or submit Inuyasha fandom writing!
P.s.: As always, you can contact any of the mods for any questions you have, or click on "contact us" down on the bottom.

If you weren't aware, we're having a Haiku contest! It's posted at the site's IY-FF LiveJournal site - that means you have to be registered with LJ in order to vote. We really need to decide between a few InuKag haiku and some Drama/Tragedy/Horror haiku, so come on over and share your opinion!
http://community.livejournal.com/iy_fanfiction/
--PitaBread on 25 Feb 2010 3:28:30 AM 4 Comments
Our contest is up!!! You can see the poems and poll here: http://community.livejournal.com/iy_fanfiction
If you're interested, the categories are:
*Best Inu/Kag romance
*Best SessKag romance (by popular demand)
*Best Other romance
*Best Action/Adventure
*Best Drama/Tragedy/Horror
*Best Citrus (not quite a lemon, eh? lol)

The voting will be until February 14th, at which point we'll have the winners from each category go up against each other for Best Overall. Everyone will get a BANNER, with the first place winners getting a special one. <3
Unfortunately, you MUST be a LJ member to vote, but you don't have to be a member of the group. Come by and take a look!

To report plagiarism, please do not just say someone stole someone's work. You must include links, quotes to places and certain scenarios. Remember, the IY fandom has been around for awhile and for those who have only been writing and reading in this fandom the last 5 years, there are so many stories that the plots are so similar, and yet none of the authors ever read each other fanfics.
We need proof that the author deliberately took exact plots and even word-for-word proof. Yeah...sounds like an essay, but plagiarism is a serious thing and needs to have serious proof. IYFF will have a specific email address - reportplagiarism@inuyasha-fanfiction.com

I often check the site's action logs to see what is going on and rather than point individuals out, this is like a general news. Doing this runs up the bandwidth.... on ANY website including this one, and others out there. Please be conscientious about this as a lot of these fan fiction sites are free to use.

Hello, fellow Inuyasha fanfic readers and writers!
Starting today, November first, I am personally overseeing a new type of contest! Are you ready? It's...
HAIKU!!!!
It may be one big contest, but, IF WE GET ENOUGH ENTRIES, I will put them up by category. If you're interested, the probable categories will be:
*Best Inu/Kag romance
*Best SessKag romance (by popular demand)
*Best Other romance
*Best Action/Adventure
*Best Drama/Tragedy/Horror
*Best Citrus (not quite a lemon, eh? lol)
*Best Comedy
*Best Overall
If you'd like to see any particular category, let me know and if I think there's a market for it... I'll see what I can do.
DON'T FORGET!!! Since Haiku are so tiny, you'll have to let me know what category the poem is! The contest will be month-long, and each person can only enter 2 for each category. There will be award banners for all who participate, and separate ones for winners! There is a new category for them-you can find it under "Poetry>Haiku" Good luck! <3
TO ENTER: Simply write a Haiku, put it in the haiku category (under Poetry>Haiku) and make sure that in your story or chapter notes or somewhere, it says it's for the contest. And make sure you put in what category it's for.
P.s. (er, for those that need a refresher course...) Haiku have 3 stanza (lines), in which the first has five syllables, the second has seven syllables, and the last has five again. For instance:
Haiku are great fun, (5)
but they often don't make sense. (7)
Refrigerator. (5)
Get crackin and HAVE FUN!!!
****IMPORTANT!!!!****
CONTEST HAS BEEN EXTENDED DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY! PLEASE CONTINUE TO ENTER!!!!!

Hey, everyone! Just in case you hadn't heard, we have two sister sites!
The first is anime-fanfiction.com . It's for all other anime except Inuyasha, since we've pretty much got that covered here. ;] Nile, of course, created it, and she and Keva are modding it.
The second is for Avatar: The Last Airbender only. You can find it at www.avatar-fanfiction.com . We are desperate for more stories!!! Nile and I are the mods there, and we could use more writers, so if you like Avatar but haven't tried writing for it yet, give it a shot and submit to A-FF!

We are going to be getting some changes to the website's layout soon. Same color scheme. It is about time for that to start. With the layout changes, we will be taking away the top banner and putting 6 - 125x125 ads in the sidebar for people to eventually purchase. These will help keep the site going. As for the text ads, I will be reducing them to 3 at the bottom of stories in the content area and pulling them from the footer. The sidebar will be available throughout the entire site.
I will be sending out the awards for our 2008 IYFF Award overall winner shortly. It has been hectic as I have been scraping to get funds going.
We will be putting a DeviantArt fanart group together. We might seek a mod specifically for that group to help out.
Please remember if you would like to read or write drabbles, or at least get your pen warmed up, our Drabbles community is at - http://community.livejournal.com/iy_fanfiction
On Facebook? We are there too! Simply search for InuYasha Fanfiction and we are listed under that title. :)

In May the InuyashaQuotes community at LJ IYQ had their Grand Reopening. They offer prompts in quotes rather than using one word. Best of all there are no time limits to submitting your stories or word limits! You can do previous prompts whenever you want, even months later! Here is a look at the prompts they have for this month.
Monthly Theme: Grief
Week #1:
Even hundredfold grief is divisible by love.
- Jareb Teague
Week #2:
Given a choice between grief and nothing, I'd choose grief.
- William Faulkner
Week #3:
Nature's first green is gold,/Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower/But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf./So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day./Nothing Gold can stay.
- Robert Frost
Week #4:
The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.
- Sophocles, Oedipus Rex
You have to write a story based on these quotes. You don't have to have the exact quote in the story, but it has to be conveyed in some way. It's a really interesting and unique idea. If your looking for a real challenge check it out!

I'm already beating you all with two fics posted there. Whoot for me! So come an knock me off my high horse and get your non InuYasha fics posted.
Remember IYFF is for Yasha fics A-FF is for non Yasha related fics since the sites are linked.
Nile and I look forward to seeing you all there.
Much love. Keva
--Keva on 01 Jul 2009 2:06:16 AM 4 Comments
The link for the site is http://anime-fanfiction.net/ however just because it's called anime it doesn't mean it's for anime only. We will welcome any and all writers of any and all fandoms who want to post their hard worked on fics.
So get ready and pass it along!

Most wank is false anyway and based on petty stuff. Most revolving around any members of this site have been nipped and those who try to start it over and over are proven wrong again and again...hence... this is a No Wank Zone.
Anyway, thank you for your participation. There are a few kinks in the categories to work out, but I will have them solved as soon as possible.

The community has 36 prompts listed. There are no word limitations nor time limits. The only thing is that you need to be active when you can. It is really interesting, especially the many ways you can write a story using a certain prompt.
Just in case, here is a preview of their prompt's list:
1. Giving Orders
2. Love
3. Freedom/Restraint
4. Gentle
5. Rings/jewelery
6. Vouyerism/Exhibitionism
7. Garden/Flowers
8. Hotspring
9. Discipline
10. Moonlight
11. Silver and Gold
12. Blood
13. Hesitation/Hesitating
14. New
15. Blush
16. Footsteps
17. Fear/Comfort
18. Lost and Found
19. Deep
20. Spank
21. Silk
22. Giving in/Giving up
23. Haunted
24. Secret
25. Behind
26. Realization
27. Out of Body
28. Dreams
29. Life and Death
30. Heart and Soul
31. Going Without
32. Baby
33. Special
34. Hunter and Prey or Hunted
35. Too much/Overload
36. Respect
I recommend trying it out. I have already done so and have gotten to the 6th prompt.

As little as $5 does make a difference. I will be putting badges on member's accounts who donate and have donated in the past, as well as the month they donated. It will say "I proudly Support My fandom".
I will be updating the finances received page. There is some controversy on why there should be such a page, but as mentioned months ago. Also, I would like to point out that we are approaching 1000 fanfics, and the site has been upgraded, the community has been expanded to several sections to include fun activities.
So, your support has been encouraging. The other mods and myself hope that you all continue to support our site.
