ATTF Sign Up 2017!  
New Year, new ATTF sign up post! Yes, that's right, ALL THE THINGS FRIDAY IS BACK.

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:

Oh EXCELLENT because I was about to do a timed post for this week's because I'm nowhere near a computer for most of the weekend. All yours! :)

Was thinking March 3rd, maybe, for something about how real life actors lives influence your fannish interaction with their work. Still fleshing out the idea a bit, hence requesting a later date.
inkvoices: girl writing b&w[personal profile] inkvoices on January 28th, 2017 05:55 pm (UTC)
Can I hear a bit more about what you're planning to do for this one? It's an interesting topic but we as a comm actually have what I refer to as the real person rule and i'd want to see how close this would cut it:

We love pictures, graphics, interviews, and all the fun things with Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson, but ask that you not post (i) any RPF (Real Person Fanfiction), or (ii) any gossip/speculation about their off-screen non-work lives, as the primary focus of this comm are the fictional characters of Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow as portrayed in the Marvel films.
[identity profile] kiss-me-cassie.livejournal.com on January 30th, 2017 09:08 pm (UTC)
Ah, it definitely wasn't about RPF, but maybe skirts close enough to it to be confusing or a bad idea. But I still want to sign up! How about a nice, pleasant, break from reality drabble day instead? :)
inkvoices: girl writing b&w[personal profile] inkvoices on February 3rd, 2017 09:00 pm (UTC)
No, it's okay, just checking :) Maybe if you phrased it more like...off screen interactions impact fannish interaction with their work, or something that takes the focus of actors lives and more like...stuff beyond/outside the margins of the films? I think it's an interesting idea and people here do play nice, would just need to keep an eye on it.

Breaks from reality also mighty welcome!

I'll stick you down for March 3rd regardless and just let us know what you fancy using it for.

I'll take the next two. St. Patrick's Day/drinking shenanigans for 3/17, and a general spring theme for 3/24?
inkvoices: avengers:jrenner you[personal profile] inkvoices on March 22nd, 2017 10:08 pm (UTC)
THANK YOU. Sorry for the lack of reply - new job, new job travelling, and many family events. Both are all yours and thank you for just getting on with it :)

Hi there! I just realized that April 14 is Good Friday - no work, and husband is away on business. Great time to host an ATTF!

In light of the fact that Avengers 3 and 4 have started filming, seems like a good tine to have an MCU and/or/vs comics discussion. An opportunity to talk about our favourite/least favourite bits from either 'verse; a praise of mash-ups; speculation what happens next in the MCU based on comics arcs or an exegesis of ta leaves.

All yours :) Haha, enjoy the freedome of your Easter Weekend!
