ATTF Sign Up Post  
Hi All, the end of Promptathon - sad times - does mean that it's time for the return of All The Things Friday, yay! Once again we're on the look out for volunteers to host our Friday parties and suggest topics.

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:



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!

OK, I'll take October 7 -- Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and for Canadian expats everywhere!

Topic? Hmm. Something original? Nah. Tropes. Yes, tropes! The opposite of original. Favourites, most loathed, most cringeworthy, which ones you don't want to admit you love but find can't live without anymore ...

All yours! Ooo, nice time for a bank hol. We've had our last now until Christmas. Ah well, I have some time booked off anyway *grins*.

I'll take 11th November for the copy-paste of the old ATTF, the Let's See How Far We've Come from 2013.

(I won't actually literally copy-paste, only mostly :)

Did I not mark this off for you? *head desk* Please feel free to do this on the 18th or 25th if you're not busy, we've got nothing else lined up. So sorry for not getting back to you :/

lol you're totally fine, or at least as much as I am. I wrote this down on my calendar and then forgot it about it altogether. I'll make myself a phone alarm this time :D
