A place to ask forgiveness
I've created a new comm, ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
meaculpa , which is a place to ask forgiveness of someone you know online. Mostly I've done this as a response to the high level of "wanks" in fandom these days, but it's open to any DW users who want to use it.
Folks who run fandom comms- if you like the idea of this place and want to advertise it on your comm, please go ahead, as long as you point out the rules on the profile page, listed below. If you'd like me to drop by and post an ad, please just ask- I'm tracking this entry. Thanks.
The profile information is under the cut.

This is a place to ask forgiveness. It's that simple.
Have you wronged someone? Did you strike out in anger? Did you say things in the heat of the moment which you now regret? This is a place to ask their forgiveness.
How to use this community:
1. Post a letter of apology. You can't post anonymously, obviously- this is a place for public apology. Your letter must contain who it's written to, and it must be to someone or a group of people who can respond online without using their real name- but it can be to a member of DW, LJ, IJ, JF, or another blogging forum.
2. Get a link to that post to the person who you want to apologize to. That's up to you.
3. The person may respond to you in comments, or through a private message, or email- whatever. See rules below.
RULES:
1. All letters must be serious. Folks, there are plenty of places for political satire and the like. Don't "apologize" to President Bush here. This is a place for healing broken relationships.
2. Only the original poster and the person/people they're apologizing to may comment on that post. Only them. Really. If the apology is to a community, only current members of that comm may respond- not past members who no longer appear on the comm profile. Other comments will be screened and the mod will take private vengeance.
3. No outing people, don't include information in the apology that could lead to folks figuring out that person's real-life ID- even if that person includes their real name in their own profile. They might take that down some time from now, and it would remain in your letter.
You don't have to be a member to post or to comment. Comments will be un-moderated at least until someone screws it up for the rest of us.
The description for the community- My fault, my own fault, my most grievous fault- is taken from the Ash Wednesday liturgy from the Christian tradition, but this is not a religious community. Just thought I'd clear that up.
Please use this community as it is meant- a way to heal broken relationships with online friends. Thank you.
