Fanfic Community
So, you know those lovely livejournal communities where you get 100 themes and then you stake your claim to a pairing and post 100 fics? Well, if you're anything like me, you may be a dabbler in fanfic or busy, or maybe just lazy and you know you'll get 23 fics in and lose steam ... well, fear not! For verily, I have created a more lazy-minded community*: ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ficmonthly
It goes thus: each month, we vote on a theme. Like, for instance, "coffee," or "telephones," or maybe, "the number sixteen." We'll think of things. Then when we have the theme, we'll write a fic. Each to our own character, pairing, or series. Only, more than one person can write per character/pairing/series. And there's only one type of banned pairing, which is Real People. Harry Potter is allowed, Daniel Radcliffe is not. But anything else is okay. Squid/Hogwarts, Mal/Serenity, Mal/Badger, Boomer/RandomToasterFromCaprica ... pretty much anything. And yes, satire-fic is allowed. (In fact, encouraged. It would be fun.)
"Wait, wait!" I hear you cry. "I looked, and it says it's not actually at the lj comm!" Well ... it's not. It's actually over at Eos Cormorantine,** my webboard.ficmonthly is a reference community, which will post to your f-lists every time we put up the next month's poll, or fic thread.
Any questions? Just ask!
*Nothing wrong with those, really. I'm just ... lazy ...
**Membership is open, and while I'd love to have you participate in other bits of the webboard, it is not at all required. Really, my goal here is low-stress.
