Hum. Do I need to clarify this: "Only 1 personal journal entry will count" - what I meant was, one personal journal entry, no matter how many journals you have. Because I have a ton of them, too, and could post 10 times, but only the first personal journal entry should count, be it IJ, LJ, DJ, DA, etc.
But yes, I will count ANY personal journal/blog/soapbox/etc for you, but only once. If people have multiple names and I miss that, I guess they will have extra point, but gawd, I don't want to even think about someone cheating. Our members are too good for that!
If you create banners for Snupin_Santa with readable details ("Snupin_Santa is a Snape/Lupin gift exchange sponsored by Lupin_Snape. Posting begins December 1." And then a link to McKay's informational post that she just made) or just with details added in the post, that post will count wherever it appears as the first promotion of the exchange on a community or your personal journal. If you share the art with the community, I will also award it a point (I'd award more, but I don't want to give the artists an unfair advantage if others follow your lead).
Finally, there are Lupin_Snape comms and slash comms at places like DA and Y!gal, so you aren't losing those sites because you have journals there (unless someone posts to them first!).
Does that all make sense? Write back right away, because if it does, I need to link it to the rules for everyone to see. ^_^
