[drusillas_rain]

Name: drusillas_rain

I'm a: writer, crafter and other

My level of participation will likely be: sometimes participating in a group, actively participating in a group, cheerleading others, actively leading a group

I'm a freelancer, and I have weeks of crazy, but I will commit to this if others are game.

I think a weekly post on drusillas_rain's lj to collect people's weekly wordcount is sufficient: yes (but this isn't my fave option since it can get very impersonal very quickly)

I would like a new community with a weekly discussion post (and with questions to prompt answers): yes - I think that with simple questions that change from week to week, this could be really helpful (a start-up group I'm involved in right now changes the question every time we meet - everything from "What did you struggle with this week" to "What did you think was clever of you to figure out", etc.)

I would like a weekly set time for a group chat via IM: If we could find a day/time to do this, I think it would be awesome.

What day/time/timezone would you prefer an IM

Whoops, I meant to comment on that last post, but I forgot once I went to work. :P I had wanted to let you know it was a great idea, and that I've been wanting to join such a group, but the one I've tried starting IRL fell through because of conflicting schedules.

Name: grimcognito

I'm a: writer and artist

My level of participation will likely be: sometimes participating in a group or actively participating in a group (depending on my schedule), cheerleading others

I think a weekly post on drusillas_rain's lj to collect people's weekly wordcount is sufficient: I like the idea of a community more.

I would like a new community with a weekly discussion post (and with questions to prompt answers): That would be great!

I would like a weekly set time for a group chat via IM: that would be good if the time/times are possible for most people.

What day/time/timezone would you prefer an IM chat with a group? I'm on the West coast (california) and my schedule is odd most of the time, so I couldn't really give a specific time.

Further thoughts: I look

Oh, would there be limitations on things as far as, fanfics vs. original fiction and ratings? Just want to know what I should be prepared for. Thanks!
I don't think there would be any limitations - I think it's more about encouraging people to be productive.

Ah, good to know!

Name:Stasia

I'm a: (writer, artist, crafter, personal/other) writer, artist, crafter, knitter, cat-mother, chaos-magnet, girl, goof-ball, sewer (why is it called a sewIST now, fercrissake?), grammar purist, and a generalist.

My level of participation will likely be: (lurking on a group, sometimes participating in a group, actively participating in a group, cheerleading others, actively leading a group) actively participating in a group, possibly leading a group, definitely cheerleading any and everyone.

I think a weekly post on drusillas_rain's lj to collect people's weekly wordcount is sufficient: y/n No. I think it's not a great idea to pester poor Drusilla in her personal journal.

I would like a new community with a weekly discussion post (and with questions to prompt answers): y/n Yes, I think a separate community is the right choice. I have a paid account, and will probably be keeping it, so if we want to use that (so we can have polls although I'm not sure we'd need them), let me know.

I would like a weekly set time for a group chat

Name: Bryn

I'm an: artist and geek.

My level of participation will likely be: Attempting to participate well, and cheerleading!

I think a weekly post on drusillas_rain's lj to collect people's weekly wordcount is sufficient: If everyone else wanted it, I have no objections but it'd be kind of low activity, I guess...

I would like a new community with a weekly discussion post (and with questions to prompt answers): Sounds like fun!

I would like a weekly set time for a group chat via IM: Sure, it could be a pretty cool activity!

What day/time/timezone would you prefer an IM chat with a group? Not Thursdays, if possible. I'm open every other day, but I'm never in Thursdays. I'm in Central Time US, so on Texas time, but I can stay up late or get up early.

Further thoughts: This sounds awesome! I'm excited to see how it'll be set up, especially on the art and writing front.
