Hi, oh my favourite comm ever! It is nearly time for three_weeks_for_dw again! (And by nearly I mean the end of April, but~~)
I don't know how many new members we do or don't have this year, but last year's commentfic fest was made of fantastic, so I want to run something again!

And thus, a poll!

Please don't feel shy about making suggestions! I mean, last year's was organised with like. Three days to spare. With real planning, this year, anything is possible!
It'd be really REALLY great if you have ideas for helping to include non-fic creations~ I don't like people being left out, if they want to make things. >:

Also I think this year we can probably offer up invite codes for anyone who wants one? If there's anyone that still does, of course. I've got eight on this account, and a few others floating around - how about you guys? I'm not actually anticipating we'll need a whole lot, and who knows, maybe DW will have an open account creation week again, but it's something to think about.

I definitely enjoyed the comment fic meme (obviously) and would be game for another go - and something that offers the chance for different media to be included would be good.

I'd also like to encourage people to offer some meta - thoughts about characters and motivations, etc, continuity between games (bound to get a few people up in arms), pretty much anything. We all have opinions, but we tend to keep that sort of thing on our personal journals.

I have some invite codes to offer as well.

*nodnod* Do you have any idea how to go about that? Try and get people to limit prompts so that art/fanmixes/icons/whatever can be made on the same post as the commentfic, maybe? *ponders*

*nod* That could be cool too! Um. Another post with 'put your meta here' or something? (The continuity almost kind of makes sense! Which is actually more than I'd expect from Nomura, given everything!) Yeah, or in chat or whatever; I don't tend to post much about 'random meta thought x', but I have a lot of them.

\o/ Yay!

[mystiri_1]

I'm not really sure. One word prompts tend to give more flexibility, but at the same time it limits what people can ask for.

Regarding meta and/or other squee, I had an idea based on a community I saw somewhere else. It was fic-based, but used comment trees. The first person would comment with a character, the next person might offer a second character for a pairing, then a third comment held a prompt. But the tree format struck me as a possible way for people to share things they don't usually, so you could start with a character, add a thread for pairings/ships, another for meta, maybe another for songs/vids, and then one for fanworks? Comments starting each thread would need to be clearly labelled in the subject line for easier browsing, so maybe that is something that would require a little moderation, but if people are willing to participate (and 3wfdw is good for this), you could end up with something fairly impressive.

[tyger]

Yeah! And that's kind of a major problem, so... =/

Huh. So, say, you'd have a 'Sora' comment, and then replies to that comment you'd have, say, 'genfic' and replies to that would be genfic recs or meta-ramblings or something? That COULD be pretty cool! :D
