Suggestion box

I hope to keep things rolling (actively) throughout the year, so please use this time to offer suggestions. What do you want to see here on [livejournal.com profile] jam_pony_fic? What activities would you participate in? What challenges have you seen in other fandoms, comms that you think might work here?

Throwing out a few ideas to discuss - a quarterly newsletter? A Dark Angel bingo? A fic exchange?

((Side note, I'm back at work tomorrow and I think I'm sick - though I have to work so I'm ignoring it! This just means I might be a little slow in replying))

A suggestion box, how wonderful. I'm sure Normal would really appreciate that.

How about a suggestion box challenge post, cracky notes as prompts left anonymously. Each prompt has to be written like a character from DA wrote it and to fill that prompt...is a mitzve? Eh, how about something more...I dunno. Maybe they have to write it from that character's POV or dedicate it to the character. I'm pulling ideas out of my ass here, the option of fill requirements is up to you.

Maybe in a reverse, how about an anonymous confessional box, where people post a single anonymous line of a character's confession and people write the story behind it as a response.

Both of those sound really interesting. I'm really digging the character's POV aspect of it; that's awesome. I'll discuss it with [livejournal.com profile] denyce and we'll see what we come up with; maybe get something set up within the next month or so. If you get anymore ideas that expand on it, though, definitely feel free to throw 'em at us. Thank you for suggesting it!

Were you a record producer in a past life? That sounds like something they'd say before canning someone's ass. LOL. I had the second part of the first challenge idea when I woke up, I just forgot it like a dumbass.

Um, what? I'm not really sure what I said wrong? I'm just thinking up details about how to work it that I'd like to bounce off the other mod before going ahead with it, and I've got a few already because I really do like the idea.

I'm really sorry if I offended you somehow.

Nothing, honey, it's not offensive. You're words were funny, in fact. That way you said it is how they shmooze people they want to keep around, but not really. I apologize for making you think that.

It's okay. I guess I do have a sorta "diplomatic tone" when I'm talking to new people and stuff. XP

I bet you could do a killer Bill Lumbergh impression.
