ATTF Sign Up Post  
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:

I'd like the 18th of March and will be discussing if Marvel should also follow in Deadpool's footsteps and start to make R movies and a marvel movie discussion in general.
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 8th, 2016 06:43 pm (UTC)
Sold!
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on March 8th, 2016 04:41 am (UTC)
15th of April and I'm thinking about a photoshop challenge of sorts! :) We can vote for which one we think is the best and the winner will get a prize.
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 8th, 2016 06:46 pm (UTC)
Can I suggest not just photoshop but any and all graphics programmes? And maybe like to some simple online ones, like PicMonkey, so more people can join in and to encourage people to play with graphics who maybe haven't before? Just to keep it inclusive :)

What kind of challenge are you thinking?
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on March 9th, 2016 09:14 am (UTC)
Of course!

I think it'll be a great way to get people to enjoy making things - so, I'll cut out a template of Natasha and Clint and the rules are simple: you can do anything, but you just have to use the two templates in your graphic! Like you can put a flower crown over the cutout of Natasha, and add some arrows next to Clint...etc. Also, it can be a way to get new banners.
[identity profile] meatball42.livejournal.com on March 9th, 2016 08:27 pm (UTC)
that sounds great! I've never done any graphics or anything, but if it's online and just for fun, I'd love to play.
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 9th, 2016 09:22 pm (UTC)
YAY :D
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 9th, 2016 09:22 pm (UTC)
Sounds fun :)

Ha, if we get new banners always a bonus, although if you're specifically mentioning that do remind people of the size needed. Always a shame when people send me ones that don't fit; sad times!
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on March 11th, 2016 04:45 am (UTC)
YAY!

Can I host two ATTFs? One for the graphics challenge and another one for a banner challenge or something?
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 11th, 2016 06:16 pm (UTC)
Sure, absolutely! Just let me know when you want to do what, and maybe space them out a bit :)
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on March 20th, 2016 02:30 am (UTC)
Ok, haha! Sorry it took me so long to reply. I'll tell you when I want to host the next one when we're closer to June :)
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on May 11th, 2016 07:57 pm (UTC)
Still want to do a banner challenge or another graphics type ATTF? We have free slots 27th May onwards :)
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on May 20th, 2016 12:46 pm (UTC)
I'd love to, but I don't think anyone's interested xDD
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on May 22nd, 2016 02:51 pm (UTC)
Our graphics people do seem to have crawled back into the woodwork *sigh. Ah well. Maybe we could a picture/image prompt thing or something... I'll have a think.
[identity profile] perpetuations.livejournal.com on May 22nd, 2016 03:24 pm (UTC)
Well, I really do need to brush-up on my photoshop skills, so I wouldn't mind doing something like a 'prompt song lyrics/something (I'll think of something) and I'll create a graphic for it' and anyone who wants to create graphics can join xDD

It's just that if I do another 'you guys make graphics' ATTF, no-one will join. So I might as well make the graphics :P
[identity profile] meatball42.livejournal.com on March 9th, 2016 08:31 pm (UTC)
Probably sometime after the remix challenge, or 25th March if there's stuff planned for after that with which this would interfere, but I was thinking something along the lines of comment_fic, with the prompt 'Alternate Universe'. So people comment with whatever alternate universe or crack universe or whatever, and responses can be 3 sentences, or a drabble, or a link to a one-shot, or w/e.

(basically I've really been wanting to prompt Clint and Natasha as working in a lab.)
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 9th, 2016 09:23 pm (UTC)
You had me at 'AU' ;) I like the idea of being able to link to things as well, and maybe just chat about the AU suggestions too? All the things AU <3

Not sure when the remix will be yet, so I'll put you for the 25th and then you can always change your date if you like.
[identity profile] meatball42.livejournal.com on March 9th, 2016 10:32 pm (UTC)
Super duper. Yeah, I'd totally dig metas too, I just adore AUs and would love to see even headcanons, like 'oooh if the team all worked at a craft fair what would they sell?' Clint and Natasha focus, obviously, but just the basic world-building is fun too.

Yeah, on comment-fic if it got too long, often people will link to their own journal or lj, which I think is good for keeping things neater. Also it's why I have any fic on my LJ, so. Plus, occasionally, someone will get a multi-part bunny, to the delight of everyone. If it does turn multi, I think people should be able to post to the main comm as well, but that's just my opinion.
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 10th, 2016 07:54 pm (UTC)
I'm easy for anything AU *grins*.

We tend to encourage keeping fics/creations for things like this to one post (or one post and a masterlist) just so that everything's in one place for people to find and so that the comm doesn't get flooded with fic. For things like remix and secret santa we do have them posted to the comm, but considering how we've had over a hundred fics for one promptathon... ! But sure, when people end up writing really long or ongoing things, or even belated things. There's no issue with posting directly to the comm :)
[identity profile] meatball42.livejournal.com on April 5th, 2016 06:27 am (UTC)
sooooooo I got all confused and turned around and stupid with my traveling. I could reschedule for the 8th, if it wouldn't interfere with anything?

*edit* annnd i just saw someone in the same boat as me who dibsed first. I can just save mine for whenever it won't get in the way. Partic since alphaflyer has a vaguely similar-sounding thing going on.

inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on April 5th, 2016 09:07 pm (UTC)
Sure, just let me know what date's best :)
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on May 11th, 2016 07:56 pm (UTC)
Still want to do an AU ATTF? We have free slots 27th May onwards :)
[identity profile] meatball42.livejournal.com on May 14th, 2016 03:15 am (UTC)
Sure, 27th May will be fine with me. I still have the post saved :D
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on May 15th, 2016 10:49 pm (UTC)
Great, all yours :)
[identity profile] kiss-me-cassie.livejournal.com on March 11th, 2016 04:34 pm (UTC)
If I am greedy for fic, it's only fair I volunteer as a host, right?

I wouldn't mind April 22 (because Hubby will be away and therefore not complaining about me doing fannish stuff) to maybe host a drabble challenge? I'll even relax my must-be-100-exactly requirements a bit. Maybe. ;)
inkvoices: avengers:shameless enabler[personal profile] inkvoices on March 11th, 2016 06:17 pm (UTC)
Works for me! Added!
[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com on March 14th, 2016 10:18 am (UTC)
I'll take Friday May 13th: "Headcanon, fanon and tropes"

Edited 2016-03-14 10:18 am (UTC)
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on March 14th, 2016 08:03 pm (UTC)
All yours!
[identity profile] esgeee.livejournal.com on April 4th, 2016 10:29 pm (UTC)
hey, can I use the same prompt as March 11th for April 8th since I didn't get to post?
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on April 5th, 2016 09:04 pm (UTC)
Sure, go for it :)
[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com on July 4th, 2016 04:50 pm (UTC)
OK, I'll do July 8 (but it will be a late posting for Europeans, because I'll be travelling). And because I'll be travelling, the topic will be "On Location With Clint and Natasha."

:-)

inkvoices: avengers:natasha dropping in[personal profile] inkvoices on July 4th, 2016 05:42 pm (UTC)
DONE! Yay, thank you :) (No worries, I will be in London with no laptop but I will have a [livejournal.com profile] franztastisch *grins*
[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com on July 4th, 2016 05:55 pm (UTC)
I'm sure you and Franzi will find a computer on which to report in from "location"! :-)
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on July 4th, 2016 07:05 pm (UTC)
Well I have the internet on my phone these days, so there's that ;)
[identity profile] meatball42.livejournal.com on October 26th, 2016 08:00 pm (UTC)
If this is still up and going, I found an ATTF from a few years ago while I was looking for something else and would be psyched to straight up copy what y'all did before. It's the 'Let's See How Far We've Come' one at http://be-compromised.livejournal.com/249788.html and I'd love to see what people have to offer now!
inkvoices: avengers:assassins hug[personal profile] inkvoices on October 26th, 2016 09:13 pm (UTC)
ATTF is indeed still going! The latest sign up post is HERE, we're just really low on sign ups :/ SO YES, PLEASE DO SIGN UP TO DO AN ATTF! And copying old ones is a-okay!
