Last post from me tonight - community promotion!

Apr 26, 2009 23:48

I've started quite a few communities out of need or because I thought they would be fun to have existing. I haven't promoted very many of them as it's been a hell of a last few months but I thought I'd mention them.

( Lots of places to play )

I'm already in both the Gwen comms, but it makes me lol when the haters bitch about them-stupid idiots-everyone's entitled to their opinions and they've no right to act that way towards people expressing them

Oh I know. It's like you have to hate, loathe and despise Gwen, and ship Jack/Ianto (because no matter what they say it comes down to that in every damn post I've seen on that comm) to be a 'real fan'. Or something. And yes.

Though I'm gobsmacked by a personal journal I was looking at earlier today - the poster (who does seem rather... batshit insane going by her public entries) said that Gwen/Jack comms were a form of hate speech. I. What?

i'd like to join some of those, but looks like you have to be 18 :( i'll have to wait till next month..

i'm suprised at the lack of slash between actors who have played the doctor. I'm all for David Tennant/Matt Smith! :D I don't really like John Barrowman to be honest and I don't really know a lot about Simm.

Yeah, LJ rules, sadly. *sighs* At least you only have a few weeks? :)

It's not done very much at all, surprisingly enough. I think I've seen one Eccleston/Tennant one too... and they even worked together in a movie long before Who so angsty backstory would be more than possible. I wonder about Matt if it's because people don't know enough about him yet though.

Hmm, probably. He hasn't done any interviews. I've seen him in Ruby in the Smoke and Party Animals though :D

I didn't know (or maybe had forgotten) that you had a porn battle comm! Why did I think you were in charge of a kink meme?

Andreth and I were thinking of making a comm, but then we'd only planned to host the frottage one until people started suggesting themes for the others.

joanne_c April 27 2009, 12:43:18 UTC

Hee! No idea why you thought that about a kink meme ( ... )

I love the prompt idea! And will definitely participate and pimp it!!! :D

It's a really good idea to get it posted on the TW_3 newsletter, IMO: a lot of people read that and you get more writers through that than anything, I think.

I'll ask Andreth about using the comm. No preference, really. We did do a poll and the respondents didn't care where the battles are held, though we have heard from a few people publicly and privately that they feel more comfortable posting stuff on a journal of someone they know well, which was sort of the opposite of what I'd expected. (Thought everyone would say "use a comm".)

Andreth came up with the frottage battle idea and she doesn't post at TWU. I don't know where she got the prompt but there was some great fic! :)

I think the next one will be the weekend of the 16 May. Will check with her.
