Comms, Secrets, and More!

[holdouttrout]

My recap of Bane goes up today at redial_the_gate. I hope it's funneh and not completely boring. :-)

Yesterday I finally got around to nominating many, many fics for the First Annual Stargate Fluff Awards, put on by The Society for the Proliferation and Defense of Fluff. If there's one thing I love, it's fluff. I had to restrain myself from nominating even more fics. You, too, should nominate fics, if only so I *have* to read them when it comes time to vote.

Nominations are being accepted through March 21, and OMG is it easy to nomm. You have no excuse.

Er...I thought about doing an anonymous secrets comm (more for SG/other fandom than fandom_secrets), but the truth is, it seems like a lot of work. Would anyone be interested in an anonymous posting day in my journal instead? Or even in the comm I set up? It would be done in the comments, but I'm not sure that wouldn't lead to abuse. Guide me, flist!

Comments

Oh, must go nominate things for the Fluff Awards. I started to do it, and then... put it aside and forgot about it. Ta for the reminder.

For myself, I don't think I have any more fandom secrets - nothing that I desperately want to get off my chest, anyhow. I would be worried that the anonymous comments thing would lead to abuse - those secrets comms seem to have a lot of "I find so-and-so really annoying" type posts. Then again, it might be fine. *shrugs*

Yay for your Bane recap! I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah. I kept forgetting to do it, too--and it was relatively easy to find fics--either I was like, "You know, that one where..." or "So-and-so has some good ones" or "Hello, del.icio.us tags!"

It ended up being fun. And then I read "All We Need of Hell."

Balance. It's all about balance.

I hadn't even thought about spamming stuff except right before I posted this entry. Must think more.

Yay, thanks for pimping and noming fic for the Fluff Awards!

I watched Bane yesterday in prep for Redial... I think it's only the second time I've watched that episode. I didn't remember it *at all*. So looking forward to your recap!

Maybe an anon posting day in your journal, rather than a comm? But yeah, Pepper's right - you might get a lot of "I hate X character," and that would be sad.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

I'll do some more thinking about the secrets thing. Maybe moderated posts or something.

Fluff is necessary for life!

Y'know, you could post your recap now... :) But you absolutely must include your short version of the recap:

AWESOME HUGE FLYING BUGS OF DOOM AND BONUS WATER GUNS EPISODE

...Because, really, that sums it all up just beautifully! ;)

I looked at the Fluff Awards and hesitated, because other than sweet shippy stories I'm not sure what to nominate. Yes, I know it says gen is welcome, but what qualifies as fluff, exactly? How about Rigel's gorgeous image fic of Sam and Daniel friendship, "Scraps and Scribbles"? Or your own "Jack's brain on 200 crack" fic?

Clearly, I need help.

Regarding your anon meme suggestion: might I suggest starting with a flocked post first, with the caveat that you don't want "I hate X" posts? That's what Jenn did when she posted her guide to ships thing, way back when. She started with it flocked and when she saw that it was running smoothly, she unlocked it for all comers.

Oh, don't worry. It's there. *grins*

I actually submitted several stories that weren't ship. Either they were friendship, or gen or team. Some of them even had dashes of angst--I figured people could work through what they thought was the best representation of their ideal of fluff if I'd made a misstep.

Also: *blushes* Thank you for the compliment. Although I'm actually not sure which fic you mean. Hmmm...

Flocking solves a whole host of problems...I might just try that.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Whee! Posted!

I had this fic in mind, actually.

And thank you for the advice. Maybe I'll submit some noms, too.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Ah ha! It was the reference to '200' that threw me off. For no particular reason except that I am dumb. Thank you.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

I could've called it the bunnies! one or the crazy dream! one. I just chose a lousy description.

Wasn't there a meme going round last week on just this subject...?

Really, the blame's all mine. :)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

There was a meme. I sucked at that, too. ;-)

See? It's really not your fault.

[spiletta42.livejournal.com]

fandom_secrets is full of character bashing and general wankery. Proceed with caution. I guess it depends how you promote it, and if you're willing to lock it down if it starts getting mean.

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

if you're willing to lock it down if it starts getting mean.

I most certainly would be. I think it'd be opening a HUGE can of worms, though, so I'm hesitant.
