Anyone else still here?

Oct 14, 2017 20:17

I've been rereading old entries (and laughing my ass off) and started feeling a little sad that this community hasn't been active lately. I would love it if we could finish the missing recaps, and I am more than willing to contribute, but first I thought I should find out if anyone is still around.

So, hi! How's everyone doing these days?

Ah, nostalgia! I found this community late and never did get through all the snarky recaps. I'd totally read any new ones that get posted, though :)

I'm still here! Not active because of health issues this past year. I don't think I have any books that haven't been reviewed otherwise I would participate in reviewing. Unfortunately, I am not as talented as some if the reviewers here!

I have a similar problem--I don't own any unrecapped books, and my library (gasp!) doesn't have any SV books at all. I could get some through interlibrary loan but I work there and I haven't worked up the courage yet. :D

I could bite the bullet and buy a few used ones online. Anyone know if there are any going cheap anywhere?

open library dot org has a lot of SVH/SVT books.
I see the sister site (bsc snark) moved away from LJ. I don't know if that was to do with space issues or what.
I'd love to re-cap a few of the already recapped books. As stated previously, I've already recapped (basically for my own amusement) a few of the books from the Crazy Margo series. I'd love to post but it's not do-able.
I wonder if a continuation of the site in another setting with little to no space limit would encourage more snarking/recapping. Some of the recaps here are so funny I read them over and over.

Eeek! Thank you for telling me about that site! My soon-to-be-lost free time might not thank you, though. ;)

I wonder the same thing about LJ constraints being a big part of the problem, but I think it would have to be up to esc_key and irinaauthor to move the site elsewhere. Anyone know if they still check this community? I wouldn't feel right even starting a separate site, but I would absolutely follow it to any new location.

I check in from time to time, miss this site!

I'm still here, although I was always more of a lurker. (Partly because I was more of a Sweet Valley Twins person as a kid - I never got into SVH at all - so there was less for me to snark about.)

I'm still here! I subscribe to this group and get the notifications in my inbox but I don't always log in to comment.
