Hi All, we were a bit hit and miss with ATTFs last year. If you have any suggestions about livening the bar up - restructing ATTFs, ideas for posts, other things we can do throughout the year - please let us know in the comments. Otherwise for now here's a new sign up post to see if we can get things going...

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! But if you have suggestions but don't want to host you're very welcome to comment with suggestions for other people/the mods to use.

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>

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!

First ATTF of the year! Relevant to your interests: we have a new sign up post for 2019 here, also asking for suggestions on how we can liven things up. For this week though, let's talk about:

What To Do When You've Seen Those Few Clint And Nat Moments In The Endgame Trailer, And Suddenly You Need More In Your Life Again, But Endgame Is Not Until APRIL.

Yeah. That.

Are you revisiting old fics? Desperately searching for new ones? Exploring other corners of Marvel (or other fandoms)? Got any recs?

Perhaps you're racing to finish a fic before you get jossed, or suddenly fired up to write Marvel fic again, create icons/graphics again, or re-read your favourite comics/graphic novels? Which ones are your favourites?

Or perhaps you have other countdown coping methods?

Let us know, folks of the bar, because we're all in this boat together :)

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.)
