Question for DW fandom peeps

[deird1]

There are quite a few (not-very-active) communities for posting fic.

However, I have yet to find any communities for Buffyverse prompts, challenges, or similar.

So...

Poll #4363 challenge comms

I'm interested... but I also know I currently suck at participation in comms like Still-Grrr.

But my annoyance with LJ might be just the extra motivation I need to participate in whatever variation of a comm it is.

I'd probably be more keen on a Jossverse prompt/challege/whatevs style comm (Sometimes I wish Open On Sunday were broader than Buffyverse.) But I love the Buffyvere and even though I worry if I have more to say about it, I'm sure I probably do if I poke myself a bit more with a stick.

I'm vaguely thinking of a comm having fortnightly prompts for ficlets, and also providing space (in the same comm) for people to run ficathons. Sound feasible?

And you make a good point - I'm a purely Buffyverse person, really, but there are all those other shows...

I could see one comm having more than one role re: prompt and occasional ficathons. Particularly with a closed canon show, why have folks running higgly piggly to a bunch of different comms for similar offerings?

Hee. If you're running the show, I say stick with what you love, even if there are those other creatures.

Done. :)
