Mini Potter Wank
So there are two well-known comms for het and slash smut - Erotic Elves and Pornish Pixies. Both are invite only as the mods want to be able to filter who posts in their comms. Makes sense, right? After all, if you are trying to be an archive for 'quality' het or slash smut, you don't want Joe or Jane Anybody waltzing in there and posting something full of typos, icky SPaG, and spotty punctuation.
For the most part, if people want to try and get an invite, the best thing to do is advertise your works in a small number of popular communities where the comm mods may see your work.
Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. And if it doesn't, the thing to do is bitch about the elitisim or moan about how you'll never get in to your friends in private-locked LJ posts, IMing, whatever. Wanking in public about how elitist a community is and how you'll never get in is not really the smartest thing to do if you actually do want to get in.
But try telling that to Miss Cassius, who went and created her own community for people who haven't been able to get into EE or PP yet. The comm ishp_itouchmyself, named after one of the shittiest songs in existence. Oh, and the userinfo is just a tad wanky. Just a tad. And so were some of the advertisements for the community.
