The inaugural Fanfic Friday!

[shy_magpie]

ineptshieldmaid and I got to talking after I got up on my soapbox about the lack of a reblog button on Dreamwidth. While I prefer linking to reblogging, we need a structure for those of us who are the curators rather than creators of fandom. It can also be awkward for those of us who worry about spamming the feed to know when and where to post rec lists. To this end ineptshieldmaid has generously hosted the first Fanfic Friday for our circle here, with a better explanation of the whole thing. Go check it out, both the recs and the great way they are shared. Share your own and come back to her journal next week for more! I am planning on hosting for January, and hopefully some of you will like it enough to host in future months.

This is great! I love the idea of a Fanfic Friday, just a round-up of what one's been reading lately. Coincidentally, I had been thinking of doing something similar — one post about what I've been writing, and one post about what I've been reading — once a month.

For the round-up that you're proposing here, would people be expected to reply to one person's entries with their own round-up (in a comment)? To sort of get the conversation going?

Please check with ineptshieldmaid but I think you have it, just reply to the host's post with 1-5 recs in the template given.

Pretty much! You could also post your own round up in your journal and link to it, or comment on what has been posted already, or just turn up and say 'ugh remember when I had time to read???' or... whatever :)

Sounds great!
