This is the digest journal for [info]fullmetal_info.

Why was I friended by this journal?

You were friended by this journal because you post a lot of relevant Fullmetal Alchemist-related material - fanfiction, fanart, icons or even essays.

Why wasn't I friended by this journal?

Either because you didn't fit the criteria listed in the response to the first question, or none of the digesters behind this journal knew you. We're human, it happens. Comment if you think you've been overlooked and we'll gladly add you to our watch list.

In the digest for xx of xx, you forgot my fic. Here's the link!

This isn't the place for it. If something of yours slipped through the cracks, go over to the relevant digest and comment with the forgotten fanwork there for it to be added in.

I tried to click a link on the digest and it said I wasn't allowed!

That would be why we wrote [locked to members of [info]hagaren_manga] or whatever next to the link. If we didn't, the entry was flocked after we posted the digest; if that's the case, let us know and we'll take it down.

I didn't want my fic mentioned in the digest. :(

As above, comment and we'll remove it.

How does this journal work?

Basically our digesters use our friends lists to compile links for the day's digest, and use our main journals to post it to [info]fullmetal_info. The digester backtracks on this journal's friends list to the previous digest and collects links from then onwards. This is the most reliable method for collecting links from several communities at once, but it does mean if you backdate a post in your journals, it won't show up on our friends lists.

I am uncomfortable with the members of this digest watching my journal.

While you are reminded that the decision to have a public journal rests solely on your shoulders, if you're really creeped out by us, comment here and we'll remove you from our watch list.

I'd like to donate an icon to this journal!

Hi, we love you. ♥

So, who's 'we'?

[info]shichahn, [info]zarepathcs, [info]kalliel, [info]ranty_rie and [info]perniciousness, with the f_info mods [info]nymeria, [info]mikkeneko and [info]hieronymousb covering in emergencies.

Who wrote this post up?

[info]nymeria.

What goes in each digest category?

Well, at a glance:
News and Announcements.

This is for official news, such as 'viz release next volume of the manga!' and also fandom news, such as 'chapter#whatever scanlated/raw!' 'chapter#whatever under discussion at [info]fma_reread' 'new claim sheet up at [info]fma_fuh_q' and so on. you get the drift. :)
Fanart/Fanfiction/Icons

Self-explanatory.
Scans

Doujin scans, poster scans - any sort of non-manga scan goes here.
Digester's Talk

Anything that doesn't quite fit anywhere else, or that the digester wishes to draw particular interest to - for instance, 'new essay up at [info]ship_manifesto,' '[info]user posts interesting character analysis of Roy Mustang,' or even plain '[info]other_user posted a brilliant fic, go check it out!'

That's about it. :)

This FAQ hasn't covered all my questions!

Then comment here and one of us will take a shot at answering them for you. :)
