Info for all:

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.

What does hosting mean?
Being the person that writes the party post. Usually then joining in with the fun that happens. You can know what you want your topic to be in advance, or come up with it on the day.

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:



What if I have a topic, but I don't want to host?
Let us know what topics you'd like and someone else will host it! Ideas are gold.

You keep saying anyone and anything, but what are the rules of this thing?
Have fun. That's an important rule. Otherwise, it's an all the things friday and we really mean that :)

oops -- just saw that you already spoke for 2/13. I just suggested something Valentine-ish ... But I probably can't host, anyway.

I can move elsewhere, just not near Easter. I forgot about Valentine's, which is to say Valentines should be a thing and I don't want to host that. From knowing a Russian American though, I do think she'd prefer Women's Day.

Valentine's has been a thing in this bar ever since I joined -- we usually have a mini-promptathon around that time. (Hence my query in my other comment.) Whether Natasha would prefer Women's Day is certainly a good basis for a prompt! ;-)

I'm pretty certain we will be doing the mini promptathon like in previous years, but I don't want to speak for my fellow mods, some of whom are traveling away from the internet at the moment. ;)

So far, no bites, but I'll keep prompting it. :)

Can I put you on the 20th? We'll probably be doing something promptathon related on 2/13.

Sounds good!

1/23 seems like the only weekend open for outside friendships. That work?
[identity profile] enigma731.livejournal.com on January 23rd, 2015 04:20 am (UTC)
Argh, I just saw this. I swear LJ is starving for my notifications. >.<

If you still want to host tomorrow, you're welcome to do so. If that's too short notice, I totally understand. Just let me know either way. :)

I'll pull together a post today.
