I keep meaning and meaning to write reviews of Pros stories here at
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ci5hq, because I remember that's what I was desperate for when I first knew Pros - with the plethora of fic out there - ideas about where to start, what I might and might not like and so on. And people are
always asking for thoughts and opinions about what to read. Trouble is, time gets away from me, and writing a whole review seems like it needs so much thoughtfulness that it ends up at the end of my list of things to do.
So, I was wondering... game for the long weekend, anyone? *g*
What if we all chipped in to reviews with those single, quick comments that are so much simpler to write, but that, with lots of people contributing, would add up to much more information about an individual story or zine? That way we could have all sorts of opinions gathered together in a single place, too, make it easier for people to compare thoughts/likes/dislikes etc? And if a review post turned into a discussion, then that'd be fab too, because that's all the more information, and if no one posted at first, they could always come back a few weeks later and post then - no time limits or anything, although a concentrated weekend of it might be fun?
'course it all depends what people have read/are reading, but I've thought of that too... *g* What if anyone who fancies playing simply posts the title and author of whatever they're currently reading in the subject header - and if they can fill in the review info from the user page that'd be fab too, this bit I mean:
Title:
Author:
Link to story:
Zine:
Short review: See comments below!
... and then anyone who's read it recently/remembers it etc, makes a little comment below - long or short as you like, but it'd all add up to a bigger review?
Anyone fancy playing? And we could do them all at once too - in fact the more going at once the better, because we could use it as an excuse to re-read whatever fic from the posts grabs our attention, and then comment ourselves - a sort of fannish reading/reviewing circle!
So... if you've been reading Prosfic lately, then make a post with the title and author in the subject line, and if you can fill in the Review Info thingie in the post below, with just a commment to invite comments from anyone else who's read it then that's your lot - unless you want to write a more in depth review as a comment yourself, or join in any discussion etc that ensues... I'll post up a couple of examples, and hope that people might join in (otherwise I'll look very silly, won't I?! Plus, I
really hope that this makes sense!)
