NOTE: Please see horizon for all requests in the future.
With the rash (such as it is) of random people adding their fics to this group, I have at long last gotten off my be-hind and done the thing I said needed to be done to stop it.
This comes with problems, but first, how it works.
If you submit a story to any writeoff event, leave a message here after the results are in and you'll get contributor status. Include a link to your story, especially if your username is different on the two sites.
Contributors are now the only people who can add fics to the folders in this group. So if you want to be able to do that with your own fics, you'll want contributor status. :B And I'm making it contingent on participation so people can't just join up and start adding their fics.
Meanwhile, I've given contributor status to a bunch of people, but I probably fucked it up for two reasons: I was going off memory (mine is terrible and I was basically just adding people whose names I recognized), and going from the back of the list to the front means I missed a whole bunch of people because of the way fimfic reorganizes the member list once you've changed someone's status. :|
So if you've participated in any writeoff and don't have contributor status, leave a message here. Again, leave a link to your story. If it's on Fimfic and hasn't been added, I'll be happy to do that for you as well, just so you don't have to. :)
Okay, that's it! We shouldn't have to worry about random stories showing up in the group anymore! :B
(Also, if I don't respond to your request in like 24 hours, please bump the thread. It easily gets lost in the limited group view.)
4127487 That is a very good question that I do not have an answer to c.c I mean, the convoluted way to check is to try and add something to this group, and if the folders are locked, then you don't have it. Or you could check the member list?
Oh, so that's why I couldn't add Who Will Guard The Dreamers to the Great Expectations group. I thought I was just doing something wrong. Could I get a nudge, please?
Apologies, Spectral, for not seeing this sooner. :) And yes, all compilations go only in the compilations folder. (I suppose if you wrote a bunch of entries for one event, put them into a single collection and weren't going to add stories from any other event to that collection, you could stick it under the event instead.)
4127311 Okay, well, at least two people have asked to see the finished version of my entry for AMoP, so on the assumption i to manage to eventually complete it, i am requesting Contributor status so that i will be able to share it with them.
I'm finally doing some editing on past write-off submissions and would like to ask for contributor status in case I eventually get one of them finished. Here's a link to my last submission.
Just as a general announcement, I'm taking over these duties from 4127311. I'll do my best to keep an eye on this thread — but group threads don't send out notifications when they update, so if you speak up here and don't get a prompt response, either >>tag me in a reply or PM me.
Ah, I mean your best interests. We are your friends. We will construct additional friend-based stories. And submit them to the writeoffs. When it is applicable.

How can we tell whether we have contributor status?
4127487
That is a very good question that I do not have an answer to c.c I mean, the convoluted way to check is to try and add something to this group, and if the folders are locked, then you don't have it. Or you could check the member list?
4127487
There's a fancy schmancy search feature on the member list.
4127505
4127530
Member list checked, status confirmed. Thanks. I recommend that option to anyone else who's unsure.
4127457
Excellent, thank you! I don't think I'd have missed any of them if I had seen them. :B
4127530
And thank you for pointing this out, or TD's list would have been awful. :D
I already had mine added, but i dont have ze contributor stats. Also, doing this on a crap phone so no linky.
4127722
Nope, I got you the first time! :B You're in!
4127732
Ah. Thanks :D I really can't check these things from crappy phone interwebs.
Looks like I'm in.
PP, you are truly an alicorn among ponies.

No, he's a pegasus. He doesn't have a horn.
See? No horn.
Those wings are clearly fake. Earth pony!

Hey, don't make fun of my disability :(

So I'm a doofus and I accidentally removed myself from the group. Added myself back promptly, but my contributor status is gone.
Any chance that a capable and dashingly handsome admin would fix this for me?
4217797
wow ur dum lol :V
gotcha back in! :D (Interestingly, it apparently counts how long you've been in the group from when you first joined.)
4217805
Appreciate it!
Oh, so that's why I couldn't add Who Will Guard The Dreamers to the Great Expectations group. I thought I was just doing something wrong. Could I get a nudge, please?
Add me :3.

Gotcha both. (Sorry for missing you, georg!)
I'd appreciate an add. Here are some links to my entries, if you need them.
Question: do all compilation stories go in the "2012– — Compilations" folder?
edit:
... or rather, should we add them only to that folder?
I would like to be a contributor.

Awesome! I look forward to seeing them.
4538361
Gotcha in there!

I'm likewise making some headway in editing - when you've got a moment, would you be able to give me sufficient status that I may contribute?
4540070
You're on! :B
Here's my story: http://writeoff.me/fic/7850-Hungry
I'm doing some hefty editing on that story, but I'd like to get contributor status before I'm done with the editing.
4548362
It's all set for whenever you're ready. :)
4548739
Thankee, thankee!
4127311
I participated in events 31-34 under the same name. It would be appreciated if you added me as a contributor. Thanks in advance.

I should probably sign up as a contributor. I've got a write-off story with my per-readers right now and it should be on the site in a day or two.
4588173 Whoops, guess I should have read the previous post. Can you please add me to the list, I'm about to upload a Best Laid Plans entry.
4613246
You're a contributor. Upload away!

Hi! Publishing one soonish from the writeoff. Add me, too, please and thank you!

Missed you when I took my pass through the memberlist to update status yesterday. This has been fixed.
Hi,
If you could please add me, that would be good - I submitted a story for the October 2015 writeoff.
Thanks!

My acquisition of increased status is in my best-
