Ficathons

[vilakins]

The Finishathon voting has ended, and there was only one vote between each of the three stories I submitted, which got 11, 12, and 13 votes respectively. I'm relieved however that the winner is the one that isn't likely to turn into a novella. I have no idea how it ends, but I suppose I can just start writing and see where it goes.

I have till 26 October, so I should knock my Labor Day party one off ASAP as that's due in two weeks. I have however yet to think up what to write about "clones, androids, or robots", great topics though they are. Ideas would be welcome.

I think it's just that the internet is so vast, everything gets splintered and it's a lot harder to find groups/people than it used to be.

I know the Lyst is moribund... but I'm sucked into Doctor Who at the moment, and I get enough discussion of that on my flist to mostly satisfy me.

Maybe we ought to do a "one episode a week" collective viewing thing. I keep on meaning to rewatch B7, but I keep on not getting around to it. Maybe this would get me off my rear and actually do it, if there were other people doing it too.

Oh, I think that's a really good idea. Not simultaneous watching because that's far too hard and restrictive, but maybe an ep during a set week to discuss at the end of it. Do we do it on the Lyst or here?

I haven't watched a whole ep for ages: just bits to refresh my memory. I'd like some impetus to go through the series again (with the exception of 'Blake' and 'Animals').

Yes, one ep a week, I'd say. And on the Lyst, for two reasons (a) to make the Lyst less moribund and (b) a mailing list is still a better method of continuing interactive discussion, IMHO.

Suggest it, and I'll back you up and promote it here!

Done. I also suggested we kick off the discussion on Mondays, and the first one be Monday 10th September.
