Hello, and welcome to the Just Shy of Reality New Center. JSOR has been around for some time now, and, though our Hanfic Community is quite small, we still always have a lot going on. The News Center was created as a way to consolidate all of the latest Hanfic News and present it to readers and writers alike in one place.
The calendar on the sidebar shows both Today’s Events and Upcoming Events. If you hover over each of them, you can see the details. If you click on the Calendar page, you will find a calendar for the month as well as the rest of the year. Many times we run into overlapping deadlines or events, and we would like to use the News Center as a way for everyone to let everyone else know what awards, contests or other various projects they are running and when.
The News Center is also host to a Directory organized to help keep everyone in the loop with all of those Hanfic sites out there. Guests and site owners may submit links to help build up the directory, so please take a look and add your favorite Hanfic sites.
We also have a Twitter account for you tweeters out there to follow. A new tweet will appear with each new post, and on the side of this post, you might notice the Tweet option. Click on it, and you can tweet about this post on your own account and help spread the word.
JSOR is also an affiliate of HanficSprints – a livejournal community run by myself and Renee P. Through the month of November we created a chat to help each other get through NaNoWriMo, and since it was so successful, we have decided to continue with the chats. You can check out the details at the community to join the fun.
Since the site is new, we are, of course, looking for staff members to help out – primarily with making posts about the latest events, keeping the calendar up to date and promoting the site. If you’re interested, please fill out the staff form!
