December challenge and mod announcements

Hello all!
First of all, the December challenge.
The December theme for you all is 'home and family'. You can do one part, or both parts. If you want to use them to write me Christmas/Yule/Channukkah stories I'll love you in huge amounts. Channukkah prose would be especially fab, if unlikely.
Secondly, I've decided to add some extra tag to the comm. Right now, you can only tag the prose by venue. I know there were requests for username tags, but as you can already sort prose by username, by adding /?poster=username to the end of the community url* that seems a bit redundant.
I have, however, decided it would be nice to differentiate between the three main types of story here, which are mostly stories which happened in background, alternate universes and write ups of events in game. Therefore, I'm adding in three new tags: chronicle, background and elseworld. You don't have to use them, but I think it might be nice for people searching through the comm to know which stories are reflections of in game events etc. I'm considering a challenge tag, but currently the challenges are really easily found under 'mod announcement' so I don't know if it's necessary.
I hope this sounds good? I also need to set up an FAQ page soon. Can anyone think of any questions they would like to ask?
* For example, to find all my prose, you type /?poster=annwfyn to the end of http://community.livejournal.com/writing_shadows.
