A poll for next year!

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

It's time to start thinking about next year! I know it's busy for most people right now, but even if you are a lurker, we want your opinion! There are no wrong answers, and no shame no matter how you answer here. I am leaving the results open to everyone, so all I ask is that if you are going to comment about anything or to anyone, be as nice as you usually are, as we're just wanting this to be a great place for everyone to feel safe, no matter how silly they think what they're suggesting is!

kaige68 and I are probably going to need more help next year, as we have both been distracted away at times this year, and we really want to keep this comm going if people are enjoying what it provides and want to keep it alive. We probably only need a few people, but think seriously about whether you can reliably offer your time before answering the mod question, as we really don't want gaps in posting, although obviously we're pretty relaxed on the whole and no-one gets in trouble for forgetting or being late with anything! ;-)



Let me know if there are any hassles with this, such as it not working for you or anything glitching.

The last question needs a text answer and should just be a very short general idea of the challenge - you can always go into more detail in a comment. AND, please comment if you have more to say; thoughts are always welcome!

[Poll #2076133]



That's it for now. I'll leave this open till Dec 26th, and we'll post about where we go from here after that, when I at least will hopefully have more time...

And in case I forget later in the week, MERRY CHRISTMAS, SEASON'S GREETINGS, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS, however and whatever you celebrate at this time of year! ;-)

Motivation was scarce this year, I only managed one not!fic, lurked and let the posts boost my mood, I'm hoping next year goes better. I really love the weekend challenges, though, they give me life. Also, the word of the day.
I am no on the mod question, mostly because I have no real idea how it works or what it entails. I'd like to help out, though.

I do have a prompt/challenge idea, I did in a writing group once, we called it "What did you just say?" It's a dialog prompt, where a normal dialog takes a sudden, possibly nonsensical turn, like "The storm won't reach us here, the cave is save." "What about the pig's feet?" (This isn't a very good example because I'm not really good with on the spot dialog?), and you have to write a dialog where it works.
There can be additional rules, we once had a dialog about cookies and cyanide and the prompt fill wasn't allowed to be about crime.

I'm glad the posts were able to boost your mood, even if you didn't create much this year. I didn't have a lot of time or inspiration myself this year so I know how you feel. next year will be better for us though, right? ;-)

No problem on the mod front - I'm pretty sure we have enough volunteers to manage that! Don't be afraid to offer help with any challenges you feel you could be involved in though; we're always happy to have you along! And we can offer any help you need if you wanted to run a challenge yourself.

I love that challenge idea! Maybe we could use it somewhere along the line - maybe in a weekend or flash challenge. If you can find some good examples/prompts to share, PM me with them and we could kick that off somewhere in next year's schedule! Love to have your help with it since it's one we haven't tried! ;-)
