Fic Community: Thor (movie and otherwise)

[not_me]

Because no major movie can come out without at least a few comms springing up like mushrooms! Here's thor_fic, for all your Norse God fictional needs! It's a brand new community and still has some of that new community feel – mainly a lot of white space. But – there are a few recs up already, to help get folks in the mood!

The comm is inspired by the movie, but accepts any ear/interpretation of the Norse gods and Norse mythology; comics, movies and even the actual mythos! Fic, art, recs, vids … all are welcome.

The profile has comm guidelines.

Odin approves!

is it possible to get a 'mythology' tag?

Aw, excellent! Thank you! And any chance anyone knows of an icons-related community too? Or is willing to make one? :)

--another question that I just had. What is your stance on movie-related RPF?

[not_me]

I don't know of any image/icon communities, alas. Hopefully they'll show up -- plus thor-fic takes art too (it's just not specific to it).

No RPF, alas.

I won't join the comm because while I liked the movie, I wasn't interested enough for fandom, but I wanted to tell you that I *love* your comm guidelines :)

(Also, the HTML template you posted at the end of the guidelines is borked.)

Thanks! Which html? The template seems to work and the links.

It's not borked in a way that will stop it from working, but there's definitely extraneous code. Also, it's bad form to specify a font colour if you don't also specify a background, because otherwise it can be invisible on people's reading pages.

Generally speaking, if you want to change a font colour, you should do it via the wizard or CSS on your Customize Style page. For your layout, I'd suggest adding to the CSS the following code:

.entry b, .entry strong {
    color: #D30C0C;
}

That will make all instances of bolded text in an entry red, without disrupting people's reading pages.

Then you propose the following templates to your members:

<b>Title:</b> 
<b>Author:</b> 
<b>Characters/relationships:</b> 
<b>Notes:</b> 
<b>Warnings:</b> 
<b>Disclaimer:</b> Thor, Asgard and the Norse Gods belong to us all.  This is fanwork.

Thanks! My HTML skills are basic, but adequate but I have no idea how to wrangle CSS

LOL - now all we need is some stuff in it!
