Friday! We made it! So what happens now?  
Greetings, Thou of the Almost-600:

Howdy! :)

Looking for a little input here. I like the idea of having a standing once-a week post at our little corner bar. We started back in the day as Friday being a fic/fanworkds rec post day, then Promptathon happened, then impromptu dance parties and picspams became more of the thing, with the occasional impromptu friending meme thrown in for good measure.

I'm cool with all of the above but I'm wondering what y'all think. First off, do you want some kind of happy Friday post? Should it have a theme? Should it be recs or meta or just an unstructured free for all? Should it contain inspirational quotes and morale-bootsing pics? Should we have guest hosts who can run the show however they want?

I'm cool with whatever, I just want to keep this place happy and fun and full of all the good things. There's enough crap out there to deal with, both on the interwebs and in real life-- so let's keep this our safe/squeeful/awesome/we-are-the-coolest-people-on-the-planet-because-we-say-so zone.

...so with that in mind, what should we do to celebrate Fridays?

I guess we're a little fics recced out after the promptathon of awesome, but maybe do that every second week (we still haven't worked through all the fanwork themes)? With the alternate week being a miscellaneous/ fun/ variety thing. And focusing on the bright side of life (so it probably wouldn't work to have an Ant-Man hatred themed post :P).

With this bar no matter what ends up happening it will be fun. *shrugs*

Congratulations to everyone who made it to Friday. Once I finish up work I think I'm going to sleep for twenty hours straight.

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Oh that sounds lovely. :)

I like the idea of switching out weeks. That might mix it up nicely.

There can never ever be too much fic rec in my opinion. I, too, like the idea of alternating weeks, whether it be theme or recs/picspam/whatever or... you know. Anyway. This is such a great place to find stuff!
[identity profile] workerbee73.livejournal.com on September 14th, 2012 05:51 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I don't think we want to do away with the rec posts altogether-- they are way too helpful. I really do like the idea of alternating weeks.
[identity profile] cybermathwitch.livejournal.com on September 14th, 2012 05:57 pm (UTC)
I kind of like the idea of "guest hosting" every so often? I'm really intrigued to see what people might come up with as a theme.

I also like the idea of switching out fic recs for random things - but have a question/idea about the fic rec weeks (partly because we've been talking about doing a weekly fic "prompt" for aaron_marta) if the rec weeks are topic based, could it be recs and prompty thoughts like the kissing post turned into? Because that was a TON of fun!
[identity profile] workerbee73.livejournal.com on September 14th, 2012 06:14 pm (UTC)
i'm all for guest hosting! that would be great. sadly i'm allergic to organization, but i can try and work out some kind of schedule.....


if the rec weeks are topic based, could it be recs and prompty thoughts like the kissing post turned into?

I LOVE this idea.

And KISSING was so general that it was easy to just create and create and create. Having topics that are very general make for a lot of freedom (which, as all organized chaos lovers know, is where all the fun is) and could lead to all kinds of trouble places that people would want to be that aren't jail.

Some things other ship comms I'm in do. And while this is not all FRIDAY!!! stuff, I thought is throw out some ideas.
-Meta! Once a month or so, a meta post on whatever.
-Daily/weekly pictures of scarjo/the rennatron for inspiration.
-one group does a bi-weekly man-on-man photos for pornspiration.
-word wars/group chats!
-unfinished fic spotlights: every so often, people post 500 words or so of unfinished fic for cheerleading.
-comment ficathons! Give us a general prompt, like "WAFF" and people offer more specific prompts, and comment fics happen!

These are just general ideas, but I wanted to toss them out there. As the comm grows past the Faithful Five Hundred, is love to get to know more of us!
[identity profile] icecream-junkie.livejournal.com on September 14th, 2012 07:39 pm (UTC)
I like the idea of unfinished fic spotlights. Both my Clint/Nat fics are currently catching dust on my harddrive, because they suck. I could use some advice/cheerleading for those and I guess I'm not the only one. We should definitely do that at some point.

Lurk-y McLurkyson
Erm, hi. *awkward wave*

This is probably an inappropriate place to say this, but I've been lurking at this promptathon for pretty much as long as it's been going, and I FLIPPING LOVE IT.

There are so many talented writers on here, and the comment threads make me laugh so hard. In fact, you almost made me destroy my laptop by squirting coffee through my nose, that's the scale we're on here.

So you are all a health hazard as well as continual bringers of joy and Renner!porn.

And maybe one day I will come out of the shadows and quit lurking, and who knows? Summon up the courage to post my own fic, but until then, I can safely say that I love you all, anything you choose to do on Fridays will make me happy, and please don't stop.

Thanks!! :D

Re: Lurk-y McLurkyson
OMG, HELLO LURKY MCLURKYSON!!! WELCOME!!!

I can't tell you how tickled I am to read your comment. I do apologize about the coffee snorting, but dadgummit, I'm glad your'e enjoying this crazy place.

And please, should you ever feel the need, please please consider delurking. We're super fun to hang with, and we're pretty nice (albeit rather foul-mouthed). And yes, we can always bring the joy (and Renner!porn).

In the meantime, we shall endeavor to entertain you. :D :D :D

I'd be up for a "whatever floats your boat" Friday, that I'm envisioning would involve lots of gifs/pics of Jeremy Renner in various states of dress and undress.

but that's just me...

Personally I don't see why any reason why there can't be a rec post and then one or a free-for-all. I mean if its too much work that's one thing but shit both are awesome.

I would add more but I'm tired and want to go to bed.
[identity profile] workerbee73.livejournal.com on September 15th, 2012 06:52 pm (UTC)
Yeah, having both each week, might be a little too much for the organizer to handle. But we can definitely alternate...

eta: but seriously tho, the feel of this place can best be captured in this gif

i feel swooshy and fishy (y'know, just keep swimming just keep swimming) all at the same time whenever i visit. this has become a very happy place and is a great pick-me-up after a really horrid week. it actually got me back to checking my other lj comms. so, you know, there's that.
