Hi All, we're looking at kickstarting All The Things Fridays again, which means we're once again on the look out for volunteers to host our Friday parties!

What is this All The Things Friday of which you speak?
All The Things Friday is bascially a day where we have a post that kicks off a party. That post can be a call out for recs, discussion, picspams, meta, thinky thoughts, squee, dance parties, mini challenges, ANYTHING that you would like to see on this comm. You can take a look at any of the tags with 'Friday' in to see the kinds of things that we've gotten up to before. Although if someone has already used your idea, don't worry; repeats are fine, because there are always new fics to rec and ideas had :)

Who can host?
Anyone. You can host on your own, or as a team, or with a mod. If you have suggestions but don't want to host you can comment with suggestions, and if you're not sure about hosting you can chat about ideas in the comments.

What does hosting mean?
Being the person that writes the party post and then joining in with the fun that happens. It's not writing War and Peace, just something to get things going, like questions to get people thinking about meta or a theme for fic recs.

It's moderating something?
No, don't worry. If you have any problems throw it to the mods as normal. It's more like chairing a gathering, being the DJ, yelling for drinks all around. It's as much or as little work as you want it to be.

How does hosting work?
You write a post about what kind of Friday you want it to be, opening up the floor, and you post it at any time on a Friday. For people worried about timezones, really, any time (we tend to party on into the weekend anyway). At the bottom of your Friday post we'd like you to copy and paste this:

<small>Things to remember: 1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut. 2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings). 3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut. 4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)</small>

Want to get involved? Comment with what Friday you'd like to do and what you'd like to do and we'll add you to the sign up list below. Check in to see what upcoming Fridays we have and to suggest more ideas. Get excited!

( A few things to know... )

ALL THE THINGS FRIDAY: We're starting this again - that's our Friday party posts that carry on into the weekend - THIS FRIDAY with Three Sentence Fics. Ask and ye shall receive ;) That means we also need VOLUNTEERS for hosting future Fridays - further information and sign up sheet HERE. If there's no one signed up to a Friday, that means it doesn't happen, so run don't walk!

REMIX EXCHANGE: We had one of these back in 2014 and keep your eyes peeled, because we're looking at doing this again towards the end of this month/start of April. A remix is, essentially, fanfiction of fanfiction. You create a fanfic using someone else’s fanfic as a starting point. Examples of remixes include writing the story from another character’s perspective, an interlude between scenes, taking the fic in another direction after a certain point (what if this character did X instead of Y?), etc. Further informaton on the way!

IN THE WIDER WORLD WIDE WEB: There's a new Black Widow comic just started, by Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, and Matthew Wilson. Marvel Is Marvel gift exchange sign ups are open. This year's halfamoon is now closed; have a nosey for things relevant to our interests, like this female-centric fanvid recs from streussal featuring Natasha and other Marvel ladies.

What else is going on? Got any recs for us? Shout out in the comments!
