Reading Room - December

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you to all our November reviewers, and I hope everyone enjoyed the Told through Letters/Diaries theme.

Our next theme is scheduled to be Third Party Viewpoint, but as it'll be December and a) really busy for many people and b) Christmas and all (*g*) I thought I'd canvas thoughts on what you'd like to do. I've put some suggestions into a poll, because it's nice and easy just to click, but if you've got any other ideas/suggestions/comments, please do make them!

[Poll #1798790]

Reading Room Schedule
Reading Room VIII - Third Party Viewpoint
Reading Room IX - Where the Lads are Outed
Reading Room X - Stories of the Elements (this one may be a special Reading Room series)
Reading Room XI - Fusion Stories (not crossovers, but stories inspired by other media: films, novels etc)
Reading Room XII - Crossovers
Reading Room XIII - AU Stories that haven't been covered in more specific themes!
Reading Room IVX - Younger Lads

How about everybody reads/re-reads some of the Christmas stories we've read previously (on the Reading Room or elsewhere) and then we all get to nominate up to three, maybe with one line reviews, and then have a vote on the favourite Christmas stories? A top five, or top ten, or something. Because if people like clicking... And it's nice to wallow in Christmassy things!!

This sounds like a good solution!

People do like a poll, so it could be fun... *g* Hmmn, I'm not sure of the logistics though - realistically I think this'd work out as a single post, or rather a single thing, rather than 5-Reading-Rooms-worth... and I reckon the vast majority of people would re-read if they were going to do it anyway, but would otherwise just rec and vote from memory... What I reckon we need is something to inspire them into taking a moment out of life to do the re/reading... and more especially to read Christmas/Winter/etc stories they might not have read before. There are so many out there, but it's always the same few that pop up!

That said, we could do the poll as well as anything else... or maybe as the Thursday 22nd Dec post, when people might be even busier... cos polls are click-y fun... *g*
