New to Dreamwidth, new ATTF sign up post!

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 weekend-long party. That post can be a call 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 party on throughout the weekend. 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>

Welcome to the be_compromised annibirthday party post!

If you hail from Livejournal, welcome back, it's wonderful to see you here. If you're new to our community, from Dreamwidth and elsewhere, HELLO! Pull up a bar stool, have a read of our Welcome and Rules Post while we pour you a drink, and make yourself at home.

Today our community, as originally created on LJ, is 4 5 years old with 2,034 entries and an amazing 39,628 comments. That’s an incredible amount of promptathons, exchanges, challenges, discussions, and a HUGE outpouring of creativity, not to mention how positive, welcoming, friendly, and just plain awesome you all are. Today is also a new annibirthday of sorts for us as we move to Dreamwidth.

To get things started properly over here and to celebrate in true be_compromised fashion we're going to have ourselves a good old-fashioned getting-to-know-you community friending party post! Friend the new Dreamwidth version of the comm, find LJ friends on Dreamwidth or find ways of staying in touch, meet new friends, add each other as friends if you like or don't and just chat here instead, no pressure, just PARTY. Free drinks at the bar, grab yourselves a slice of cake, and for goodness’ sake be careful with the pass the parcel, someone probably put weaponry in there.

To join the fun copy and paste the below into a comment and go wild:


<b>Your LJ handle, Dreamwidth handle, and any others you'd like to share:</b> <b>MCU, comics, or all the things?</b> <b>What is the last Marvel thing you watched or read?</b> <b>When it comes to our two favourite assassins do you have them camping out at the farm, by a river in Egypt, living in an alternate universe anyway, or some other camp entirely?</b> <b>What things do you love to see in fics/creative works; what’re a few of your favourite things?</b> <b>You're on the Marvel merchandise team and you can do anything you want: what thing do you make exist?</b> <b>Self rec one thing that you've written/created (link please!) and tell us why this one:</b> <b>Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on:</b> <b>Rec us something (fic, vid, art, graphics, meta, anything):</b> <b>A bunch of Marvel characters go on a road trip. Who? Do they have a destination in mind? If so, where and why? What places do they stop on the way?</b> <b>List some of your favourite Marvel characters/stories other than Clint and Natasha:</b> <b>Any other fandoms you're currently into:</b> <b>What should a new friend know about you/your journal and/or what are you looking for in a Dreamwidth/online friend?</b> <b>In the comm annibirthday party pass the parcel game what prize do you win?</b> <b>Anything extra to add?</b>



And from all your mods: HAPPY COMMUNITY ANNIBIRTHDAY!

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.)
