Sunday of many things!

It is Sunday! Day of party and fun!

We want to do something a little different today, though, so here's the thing:

This comm has been around and open for just about two months now, and I for one would like to call it a definite success. It's pretty good. It could be even better, though, and that's where you guys come in.

We-your-mods are not infallible geniuses (just the regular genius kind ;) ), so we want some feedback. Things we'd love:
  • Ideas for different day-of-the-week themes
  • Ideas for structures or prompts you'd like to see during a particular day-of-the-week theme (for instance, having a comment thread game on Sundays)
  • Things that are just not working for you
  • Things that are really, really working for you
  • Your opinion on the liveblogging and response structure for new episodes
  • Anything else you have feelings about.


Also, it's becoming increasingly obvious that a few of your mods all have some rather complicated RL stuff going on all at the same time.  We're still invested, but we don't necessarily have the time or the capacity to run things (daily posts, coming up with new ideas, finding ways to inspire and promote conversation) alone.  We're giving some serious consideration to recruiting another mod to help share the job around.  If you've got any interest in that, either leave a comment down below, or toss me or [personal profile] needs_more_green  a pm.






Because it's Sunday, this doesn't need to be all work!  Let's have some fun and games in the comments.  I vote we play gif/graphic party: every one you post must be a response to the one above.  Here, let's start with this one:

I have been wondering about the structure of the prompt posts. It makes me a little sad that every week we get a new prompt post, and abandon all the awesome prompts from past Thursdays. What if on Thursdays, instead of a new prompt post, we just get a reminder about the main prompt post? Possibly with reminders about specific intriguing prompts that there have been? And updates on recent fills and works in progress?

Eh, I guess I'd be open to being a mod if no one else wants to do it? I am normally bored and normally on the internet, so I wouldn't mind making a post every couple of days if needs be.

As far as things that are working, I really, really love Tuesdays and Wednesdays. But I almost want them spread out more? Like, now that we have a new episode every Tuesday, nobody seems to want to talk about spoilers for future episodes because we are all TOO EXCITED about the episode we are going to see in a few hours? And meta-Wednesdays, I love because we get to have a super in-depth discussion essentially on the episode we just saw on Tuesday, but because I'm so focused on the episode I just saw I forget to talk about other meta-things. (Like, say, Kurt and death! Episode parellels! Ect.) So maybe have two meta-days? Maybe Saturday and Wednesday, at least while we are still getting a steady stream of new episodes, and then going back to just Wednesdays once the season is over?

Also can we have a First Listen Friday post? That would be fun and interesting, I think.

(I also think maybe a headcanon day might be fun? Like, just a day where we have a thread with each character's name, and we talk about where we see them in the future. Just a thought.)
